You have a beach trip next week and you're not feeling confident with your body?
Are you trying to squeeze in workouts and avoid your favorite high-calorie treats, but just can't seem to do it?
You know the drill when it comes to losing weight: exercise everyday, take less calories, eat better food and all that.
With these steps I have, you won't have to worry about the agony of a strict diet. Although it's important to eat healthy and get some exercise for optimal health, these unusual and (sort of) weird ways to lose weight are safe and proven:
1. After breakfast, consume only water.
Go ahead and drink your orange juice while having breakfast. But all the way through the day, focus on water and water only. It's better if it's warm water. You will be able to save around 245 calories a day from soft drinks you'll consume in the afternoon.
2. Wait until your stomach rumbles before you grab something to eat.
Eat only when you are hungry. It’s shocking how often we eat out of boredom, stress, or just plain habit. Many of us have probably even forgotten what physical hunger feels like! Find ways other than eating to express love, stress, frustration and the likes.
3. Wash something thoroughly once a week.
Whether that’s your apartment floor, windows, your car, the shower stall, or bathroom tiles. A 150-pound person will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning. Clean for 30 minutes and you could work off more or less 120 calories. Plus, you've done yourself a favor of getting something squeaky clean!
4. Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.
Eat slowly. Sip water frequently. Chew thoroughly. Be mindful and aware of how you eat. Intersperse your eating with stories for your dining partner of the amusing things that happened during your day. Your brain slows down your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety or fullness signals.
5. Stare at the color blue.
As weird as this sounds, but you won't find the color blue at most restaurants. Studies have shown that the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. On the other hand, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. These colors promote eating.
Along with these steps come with self-discipline, but even if you're not running and sweating on a treadmill or counting calories, these are safe and simple ways to see those pounds drop on the scale. Enjoy it and monitor your habits closely!
