Top 10 Ways To Lose Weight
6. Walk, walk, walk
“If you think walking around the house doing daily chores is your exercise for the day, you’re heading for trouble”, says Katherine. “You have to include a 30-minute brisk walk in your schedule every day. Gradually increase it to 45 minutes, if possible.”
7. Have a more active lifestyle
Diane goes swimming with her kids, does some yoga in her free time, goes dancing with her husband one weekend each month and helps out her neighbors with their garden and some such. She is always on her toes. Do you follow such an active lifestyle?
8. Make small changes in the foods you eat
“Replace your chocolate desserts with fruit desserts, whole milk with skimmed milk, potato crispies with fat free crackers, white foods with green foods, high cholesterol food with high protein food and so on. Small changes can have big effects on your weight”, advises Narelle. Thanks for the tip, Narelle.
9. Read fitness magazines to get inspired
We love Emily’s idea of reading fitness magazines to gain inspiration to lose weight. “I used to sulk for hours looking at photos of slim women in fitness and beauty magazines. And then I ended up spending double my energy at the gym. It worked wonders for me”, Emily smiles.
10. Reduce coffee and tea
Jemima reduced her coffee and tea intake throughout the day only so that she could have lesser sugar. “We women have a terrible habit of picking up coffees even if we’re walking across from one corner to the other”, says Jemima, chuckling.
