Weight loss journeys are often framed around extreme diets or exhausting gym routines. But fitness trainer Tarn Kaur is proving that it doesn\u2019t always have to be so complicated. In a recent Instagram<\/a> post, Kaur shared the small, practical tweaks or what she calls ‘weird habits’ in her daily routine that helped her stop overeating and shed 31 kg weight sustainably.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always thought I had no willpower but really it was my habits and mindset that I needed to focus on and change,\u201d she wrote in her caption, highlighting how simple adjustments to everyday behavior made a dramatic difference.<\/p>\n

Shrinking the plate, expanding control One of Kaur\u2019s most effective strategies was swapping her dinner plate for a smaller one. The trick, she explained, lies in psychology: \u201cMy portions were always so huge and I was taught to finish my food, so I swapped my big dinner plate for a smaller side plate that helped me feel fuller. The mind gets tricked easily!\u201d
By giving herself permission to go for seconds if she wanted, she also avoided the feeling of restriction. This mindset shift, she said, made mindful eating<\/a> much easier.

The power of routine: Eating windows and brushing teeth Another surprising habit that worked for Kaur was creating boundaries around her eating schedule. She decided to stop eating after 7 pm, calling it a mental signal that the \u201ckitchen is closed.\u201d To reinforce the rule, she brushed her teeth earlier in the evening. \u201cNobody wants to eat after brushing their teeth, so I used that as a tool to tell my body I was finished eating for the day,\u201d she wrote.
These small rituals, she explained, reduced her mindless snacking and helped her listen more closely to her body\u2019s real hunger signals.
Water first, cravings later Hydration, Kaur emphasized, was another overlooked trick. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s thirst, not hunger,\u201d she said, explaining how starting with a glass of water often prevented unnecessary snacking. She also encouraged people to pause and ask themselves why they were craving food\u2014was it hunger, boredom, stress, or fatigue? \u201cEmotional hunger feels urgent, physical hunger builds gradually,\u201d she noted, reminding her followers to recognize the difference. No guilt, just consistency Perhaps the most relatable part of her journey was her stance on guilt. \u201cIf I overeat sometimes? Cool. I move on,\u201d Kaur shared. \u201cOne snack or meal off plan doesn\u2019t define me\u2014consistency does.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also recommended bulking up meals with nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods to create volume on the plate without the constant battle against hunger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weight loss journeys are often framed around extreme diets or exhausting gym routines.
