Proper diet and regular exercise are the top ways on how one can lose weight. Common sense, you may say; but this is not common practice among many. Here are a few tips for you to finally get rid of your excess weight and stay fit and healthy.
1 - Drink lots of water
Most health authorities recommend eight glasses of water per day; however, if you can drink more than that then it could be better. If a glass contains about 8oz of water, then eight glasses would be just about 2 liters. If you are constantly on the go, it is best for you to bring a 1-liter plastic bottle so you can monitor how much you have been drinking. Try to drink about 4 liters per day to thoroughly cleanse your body. Water is your best friend if you want to lose weight. Furthermore, water makes you feel full so you wouldn't be eating way too much if you drink lots of water.
2 - Eat vegetables
Green leafy vegetables are not only packed with so many vitamins and nutrients that will keep you healthy; these will also help improve your metabolism.
3 - Eat 5 times a day or every 3 hours in small amounts
Do not skip a meal. Don't say you'll miss breakfast and have a big brunch instead because that will stop your metabolism from working well, and the fats and calories will be retained in your body. It is better to eat every 3 hours so that your metabolism won't stop working, and you're not too hungry by the time you're ready for your next full meal, hence, you won't be eating a lot. Just eat what's on your plate and don't get further servings.
4 - Stay busy
A lot of people eat when they're bored or when they're doing nothing. Stay busy. Do anything. It is best if you can do things that will make you sweat such as walking, working out or playing sports.
5 - Get rid of junk food and sweets from your home
If you have all these junk food in your storage at home, then there's always that temptation to indulge in these. Stop buying chips, sweets and other unhealthy food and beverage the next time you buy your groceries.
6 - Devote at least 15 to 30 minutes of your day to exercise
You have 24 hours for an entire day. If you can spend hours on social media or playing games on your phone or gaming console then giving at least 15 minutes of your time to walk, run or get on that treadmill shouldn't be too much for you.
