You work hard to keep up with your daily walking and biking routines and you certainly count every last calorie. But maybe two months at best into this routine, you end up eating chocolate cake at your office birthday parties, grabbing happy hour mojitos—and before long, you finally realize you’re no longer on a diet.
If there is any lesson to be learnt, it is that restrictions in any form do not work with weight loss. And the better approach would be swapping in for one or two healthy switch-ups a few days at a time to your daily routine—no more all-or-nothing approach—ultimately this WILL lead to more weight loss than you can ever imagined.
Below are some tweaks you can make to you daily routine to lose weight fast—these are tricks used by women who once weighed over 200 pounds and have lost at least 50 pounds in 6 months.
If these weight loss tips and tricks worked for them, then they can work for you too.
Use their slim-down secrets and transform your body for good.
1. Cut back on eating out.
If you like dining out all the time, cut back on eating out at restaurants to just once a week. And when you do eat out, order something healthier like a grilled chicken salad instead of a large bowl of pasta or hamburger and fries.
2. Stop stocking up on snacks.
Stop routinely buying snacks at the grocery store and stocking up your pantry with them. If you don’t see it, chances are you’ll reach for something else. What a couple of these women did was to vut up fresh carrots, broccoli and cauliflower and place them in container boxes upfront inside their refrigerators. When they were hungry and looking for things to eat, the first thing they saw was something healthy in their refrigerator.
3. Have a heavy breakfast.
Never go without breakfast. Eat at least 300 calories of a healthy mix of protein and whole grains. This will keep you satiated for the whole morning and make you snack less throughout the day. If you need a go-to breakfast, try a whole grain sandwich with natural peanut butter and apple or banana slices. It works well to keep your hunger down.
4. Fit in exercise whenever you can.
There’s no need to always schedule exercise—and certainly no need for workouts to be at least 30 minutes. If you can fit in small bouts of exercise whenever possible, like doing jumping jacks or crunches during television commercials, dancing while washing dishes or speed walking your errands, you’ll end up in Slimville quicker than you can imagine. Each 5 minute session not only burns extra calories, it also keeps you from mindlessly munching when you’re bored or when you’re watching TV. If you keep this up, you’ll be more toned than if you stick religiously to a 30 minute treadmill session every single day.
5. Clean out your pantry.
Clean out your pantry, cupboards, office drawers of unhealthy, processed snacks. Replace with with lower-calorie foods such as roasted sunflower seeds or natural apple sauce. In due course, you’ll start to make better choices automatically.
6. Switch up your happy hour activities.
Instead of nights out catching beers, wings, movies, popcorns, etc, get your group to start walking and running. It could be as simple as spending 2 hours walking around a mall and window shop. Of course, you should leave your purse in the car to avoid any impulse purchases—save your money for new outfits after you’ve lost 50 pounds.
7. Load up with vegetables.
Pile on vegetables to the foods you love—like eating pizza topped with arugula and green peppers instead of pepperoni—you can become full so quickly that you’ll probably have no room left to eat things like chips or super-rich desserts after.
8. Run for 20 minutes.
Start running 20 minutes a day during your lunch hour or you can break it up into two 10 minute sessions. A study conducted by the University of Alberta found women who ran for a strict 20 minutes a day lost up to 35% of their body weight in 2 months. On top of that, every woman who participated in the survey reported that the distance they covered in those 20 minutes increase by 15% and they now have so much additional energy 52% of them stopped drinking caffeine in the morning.

9. Drink 2 glasses of water before you eat anything.
You heard me right. Drink 16 ounces of water before each and every meal including snacks. You’ll be eating a lot less than before. The downside is that you will have to go to the bathroom more often but that’s a very small price to pay for losing big weight.
10. Eat less salt.
Salt attracts water, causes bloating and triggers overeating. A study conducted by the University of Alberta found women who gave up salt entirely for 2 weeks ended up losing between 2 to 4 inches off their waistline.
11. Cut out all sugary drinks.
Soda, fruit juice, and other drinks add calories without doing anything to satisfy your hunger. Cut them out and watch yourself slim down fast.
12. Catch more sleep.
Sleep not only reduces stress, helps us heal faster, and prevents depression—it can also help shave off pounds. That’s because sleep loss is linked to changes in appetite and the metabolism of glucose. An hour more of sleep will help you shed more weight than an extra hour of walking on the treadmill.
13. Reduce your portions
You can’t even think of losing weight if you don’t let go of your large plate. It’s plain common sense – reducing the size of your plate means eating less, and eating less means fewer calories. Usually, when we are dining, we tend to eat more than what is required – a terrible habit most of us have unknowingly cultivated.
Cut the portions in half and ensure you are choosing smaller portions. A study conducted at The Pennsylvania State University talks about research that has shown the relation between large portions and obesity.
14. Don’t Eat In Front Of The Television
Merging television time with your dining time can lead to mindless eating. You tend to focus on what’s happening on the television screen, and become unaware of what’s going inside your mouth and stomach. And, ultimately, you end up overeating. Eat at the dining table, and focus on your food. This helps you become aware of what you are eating, and you will only eat as much as you require.
15. Eat Until Just Before You’re Full
You must start eating before you feel too hungry, and stop before you are full. This is because when we starve, we tend to eat more than we actually should – and that spells disaster. This is the reason people who starve themselves to lose weight only end up gaining more. Remember to eat slowly and not when you are starving. Also, remember to end your meal just before you are about to be satisfied and let that burp out. Post that, drink a glass of water and you will be fine.
One last thing… you should try this 60-second immunity ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…
“All this by a 60-second immunity ritual?” I asked.
I met an old friend for
lunch last month and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.
She said, “It’s not so much
about the 60-second immunity ritual but more about how it releases fat-blasting
molecules that signal your brain and body to burn off pounds and inches of
trapped fat quickly and naturally.”
Even though I was
skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I
gave it a shot and watched the same video shedid.
Well, it’s only a couple
weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body
overnight”…
They’re right – it actually
took me 14 days to lose 19 pounds.
Now it’s my girlfriends
asking ME what I’M doing differently 💅
Imagine your body being
beach ready before the Fourth of July.
Imagine enjoying the foods
you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.
And imagine feeling good
and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…
All while knowing your
health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals
ever discovered.
