Top 10 Weight Losing Tips


OK Look who is talking - me who has started to put on weight and has done nothing so far. But it really hurts when your clothes start to tell you that they are no more yours and that you either visit a tailor for new outfits or else get on the jogging track to be in shape again.

Yes the reality is one must keep in shape to live a healthy life and cling to one's lovable wardrobe. Getting new clothes stitched to suit to your new body contours is not the answer. So if you are obese, you must get into shape by walking away from computer chair more often, running a few blocks and taking stairs instead of that inviting escalator  and feel lighter and happier.

But yet still, there is lot more you can do to remain in shape - but no dieting please. Here are some tips the wise guys around the world profess - we only need to pay head to their experience and apply it on our badly shaped figures and make take these to times when they looked good on us.

Here we go:
  • Before losing weight, buy a weighing machine and weigh yourself every morning before breakfast. This would keep reminding you how much you have done, and 'how much more' you need to do. Remember the DO MORE thing?
  • Never workout a fitness plan all by yourself - always pick a friend: 'A like minded One' - the one who too needs to be in shape. Together you two can work it out when jogging or even walking. A partner means a motivation to move on despite odds, which while being alone means cutting back daily allowance of exercise and coming back home early.
  • And coupled with waling (brisk walking I mean) and jogging, stretch out yourself daily. Simple stretching exercise while lying down flat on the floor add more to your shape. However, remember ot do these exercise as per your body ability. In case of back pain, you have to consult a doctor before trying stretching exercises.
  • Eat good food - full in energy and lesser in fats. Sugars and chocolate biscuits are easy to eat - but these silently add much more than you may imagine. One chocolate biscuit means 400 calories - you eat 3-4 biscuits and you are already done up with your day's calories needs.


  • Drink lot of water - well this is what doctors stress on but we ignore this simple weight reducing technique. Drink more water in the morning and gradually reduce it. Do not drink lots of water at night. Regulate your water therapy and watch the water wonder working.
  • Eat fish, eggs and poultry - and did I miss oatmeal? Well Oatmeal is a good filler and can be a good late night 'snack' rather than chips and fried stuff we innocently take out of the freezer and fry and eat.
  • Take multivitamins to regain your lost energy if you redesign your eating habits.Also do not forget to take high EPA/DHA fish oil - this will help you shed fat - real fast. 
  • And do not miss out green tea - Chinese drink green tea, without sugar, throughout the day. This balances out your metabolism and help in reducing fats.
  • Replace your cooking oil with olive oil - extra virgin olive oil is best to reduce weight as other cooking oils add dirty fats to your body.
  • And for God sake do not get new clothes stitched - have the determination to wear these once again as your body comes back to shape.
I am starting all this from this day right on - when are you?

Let us lose weight!!

No? Oh come on – there are many means to do so. Get up early morning and go for a light run for about 45 minutes. Can’t go out as dogs may follow you? Buy a treadmill and do static running instead. No? Yeah I know buying a treadmill is heavy on your pocket (though you don’t mind spending much more on buying clothes and jewelry for your wife – or may be girl friend). Stop eating for a month. No? Then how can you lose weight if you don’t want to do anything?

Oh boy, what should I recommend you to lose pounds off your flabby structure to look impressive for “people around?”

OK!! As a last resort replace your diet with following or eat a diet which includes the following. Remember if you cant even do this, you can’t lose weight for sure. So this is your last chance to lose weight.

Like eggs? Well who doesn’t? So happy to start with? So replace your breakfast toasts with egg(s) – but don’t take more than two. This way you are likely to lose weight twice as much as against cutting on your carbohydrate rich breakfast.

Who doesn’t like apples? Remember the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” you read in your school? Well apples make you feel heavy and filled up as if you have eaten metal bars and don’t let you feel hungry for a long time. Not only this, apples also help in reducing cholesterol, aid in preventing diabetes. And above all, apples contain “pectin” that would help in cutting the fats.

Like Cinnamon? Well even if you don’t, start liking this amazing thing from today onwards. Cinnamon helps the body to metabolize sugar. In other words, it will cut down your blood sugar level and from your body as well.

Like apples, oats are a good source of carbohydrate that once taken make you feel full. Besides these whole grain oats will ultimately rid you from bad cholesterol automatically. Oats also contain healthy fibres – which are a good source of losing weight. So no need of taking medicines for lowering or removing bad cholesterol from your internal combustion chambers.

I have always thought that almonds add weight around my waist. But latest research on the subject proves it otherwise. Almonds are very rich in calories and without adding sugar into your system, provide clean and healthy energy.

I know you don’t seem to like milk since your childhood when your mama would run after you with a glass of milk till your bus stop but you didn’t listen to her. And she returned home every day with the glass still full of skim milk she thought was best for your growth. Well time has come to start taking skim milk, rich in vitamins and minerals, as it helps reducing weight and still maintain lean muscles.

I leave you now, hoping you would at least eat what doctors around the world recommend for fat people like you and me. Good luck to you – and remember if you don’t even do this, there is no way out except an operation theatre where they cut out your extra fats. And that’s more painful than these simple dietary adjustments in your daily eating habits. Choice is yours.
