Do you ever try to exercise to lose weight, but give up the next few days? Do you ever try to eat less, but that doesn’t last either? I don’t know about your experiences, but I have done all of the above.
Personally, I don’t like exercise and I enjoy food. Those kinds of restrictions are cruel to me, but it still works well for a few days. It doesn’t last long for me.
Here are some tips that I practiced for years. I lost nearly 20 pounds in four years without any hard exercise or harsh diet.
1. Drink water and avoid soda
I know most people don’t like water. It tastes plain with no flavour. I used to drink a bottle of carbonated soda every day after school. It tastes good but the weight I gained was killing me. I know it is hard, but start to drink water little by little and turn it into a habit. The most important part is to avoid soda because that is one of the reasons that you are gaining weight. Remember most sodas you drink are made of sugar, artificial flavor and colouring that your body doesn’t need. Remember your body is made up of more than 60 per cent water.
2. Walk
Yes, I said walk. You may say, I walk every day but it didn’t have any effect on me. The most important part is walking as long as you can. If your school is near your home, walk home instead of taking a bus, also do it every day not just a day or two. If your school is far and you have to take the bus, stop a few stops before arriving and walk home. It is the most basic exercise that you can start with.
3.Balance 3 meal and avoid junk food
Yes, the three meals you eat in a day is the most important role in the process of losing weight. Did you know that most people don’t eat their meals? We say eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. You should eat a good breakfast that last you to lunch and lunch should be average amount and last you to dinner. For the dinner, you eat just enough and to feel full. The brain takes 15 minutes to receive the message from your stomach to tell you are full. So take your time while you eat.
Also, you shouldn’t eat anything three hours before you go bed because your body stop digesting food in your stomach when you are asleep. Avoid snacks, junk food and greasy food because greasy foods are the cause of fat. Eat fruit when you feel like to have something to eat.
Remember this is a daily routine.
Moderation is the key.
