10 Lifestyle Changes To Lose Weight

There are many people that are naturally skinny. Some of them have never stepped foot in the gym and make everyone jealous because they can eat all the junk food they want. This might seem like the best thing ever, but even though you’re not gaining any weight, this doesn’t mean that all that sugar and poor eating habits are not doing damage to their body. This is why we put a list together for the rest of the population that are tired of being a little chubby and are ready to make some small lifestyle changes to get rid of those unwanted pounds.

  1. Eat Breakfast. If you’re going to eat a healthy big meal, make sure it’s in the morning. You need all the energy you need during the day. So start with a big breakfast, medium lunch, and light dinner. Try not to eat after 8 p.m.
  2. Fewer workouts equal fewer carbs. It’s o.k. if you don’t workout every day. Many people opt to just work out 3 times a week. So, the days you don’t workout, eat fewer carbs.
  3. Work the Whole Body. Go for a run or pick up a Zumba class. Add more squats, chin-ups, and push-ups that really make you feel the burn and wake up your muscles. Don’t forget the weights, the more muscle, the more calories you’ll burn.
  4. Drink Tea: Research shows that those who drink black, green, or white tea have a lower BMI and less fat than those that drink coffee or other sugary drinks.
  5. More Veggies: Eat more vegetables, steamed or raw, not only do they provide the nutrients that you need, but they are also low calorie.ThinkstockPhotos-467710207
  6. Eat More Good Stuff: Eat more protein, replace refined carbs with lean protein, which will increase your metabolism. Supplement with fish oil, the higher the Omega-3 fats the less accumulation of body fat.
  7. Write It Down: Keeping a food journal or downloading an app to keep count of what you eat and calorie intake allows you to see everything that you’re eating and helps you keep track of your daily calorie consumption.
  8. Weigh Yourself: Get yourself a scale, they even sell some that keep track of your weight loss. Daily weigh-ins help keep you motivated to lose more weight. If you don’t lose weight right away, it’s not a big deal. Try harder next week; use this as your motivation.
  9. Stand Up: If you have a job that requires you to be sitting in front of a computer 8 hours or more a day, take constant 5-minute walks. Take the stairs, walk your dog, and keep moving.
  10. Prioritize: The number one thing is to keep focused and to think about your goals. If you live a busy lifestyle or have children, make sure you make time for yourself because your health is a priority.
