Lets face it we have all had that moment where our swimming suits told us to go to the gym but our
sweat pants were like nah girl you good. If only wearing sweat pants everywhere was acceptable.
I know Its Ramadan and you have no energy to workout as well as that you are so hungry that you are the first one on the table and hoarding all the biggest samosas and pakoras before your siblings and not stopping even though you have a full plate that could feed the entire ethiopia. Now let me tell you some rocket science here: If you dont do any exercise , stuff your face with carbs and basically waste your entire day on the bed. So then what happens? *Gasp you gain weight.
Here I have some tips and tricks that I tried which helped me shed pounds like a pro.
Tip#1 :
Turn your head to the left.
Turn your head to the right.
Rpeat this exercise whenever offered food.
Tip#2: Cardio
If you hate exercising for long hours and want a quicker solution cardio is the answer. cardio is Basically getting your heart rate up and increases blood circulation in your body. Not only does it improve your metabolisim but its the quickest way to improve weight loss as well as that it targets areas where fat is vert stubborn for example : Stomach , hips and thighs. One of the best things to get your heart rate up is to jump rope. Its easy and is one of the most effecitve ways to loose weight as it uses almost every muscle in your body and by skipping just for 10 minutes you can loose upto 180-200 calories. If this is still too much for your lazy ass other "fun" ways include pillow fight , tag , or just annoying your siblings , hitting them and running away can also do a job ( but make sure you get your siblings annoyed at a next level so they doesnt stop after 2 minutes).
Tip#3:
I know its really hard to avoid food I mean sometimes after eating 2 packs or oreo I remember I am on diet. But I have a quick fix for that too. If you cant just controll your urge that one time you can perform 8-10 mins of intense cardio before eating carbs as your body will still be in the process of burning fat. Not only this but your hard work will also prove to be a barrier in over eating as you wouldnt want to all that workout to go to waste. Another tip is to drink 2 glasses of water or eat 5 olives before your meal. this will make you eat less as it makes you feel fuller. You can loose upto 1.5 pounds per 2 weeks just by making this minor change in your eating habbit.
Tip#4:
Some times we tend to over eat and not realise it. Its usually because even though our stomach is full but our mouth is still hungry? One way to reduce over eating is chewing your food about 25-33 times .
Slowly chewing your food rather than wolfing it down as quickly as possible lets you feel full faster; this of course is when you should stop eating. When you eat more slowly and chew your food, you may be surprised how much less food it takes to fill you up. It takes a little time for your food to reach your stomach and for this signal to make it back to the brain - when you eat quickly, you'll tend to overeat and end up wishing you'd stopped sooner. Not only is this not a good way to lose weight, but it will prevent the distress which comes with overdoing it.
Tip#5: pick a plate, any plate :
New research shows that people eat less if there is a higher contrast in colors between the plate and the food. For example, if you eat a light-colored food like pasta off of a dark blue plate, you will probably eat less than if you eat the pasta off of a white plate. This is probably because the portion looks larger on a darker plate because it stands out more than it does on a lighter plate, where it just blends in.Shape. A tall, narrow glass or bowl may hold the same amount of fluid as a short fat one, but research shows that people feel like they are getting more when they use the tall, narrow version. Try it and see if you skip seconds and end up eating less!
