Remember, if you want something (even if in this case you want to LOSE something) you need to work for it. There is no free lunch :)

Here are some simple tips you may want to try. There is nothing in these weight loss tips that makes you spend money, or go on a grand diet, or even make you do back-breaking strenuous workouts at your local gym. These are simple “lifestyle adjustments” that you need to make to get the fat off your body and keep it off. The lifestyle changes too, are very subtle, nothing drastic. The reason we must take this (lifestyle change) approach is to ensure that losing weight (and subsequently staying fit) just remains a side effect or a byproduct of your healthy lifestyle. You will not only stay fit effortlessly, you would be pissed off for not having thought of such simple things earlier in your life! All those fat years! Anyway, better later than never.

Tips to lose weight fast in 1 week

  1. Start your day 1 hour earlier. if this is not possible, don’t worry about it. If you normally wake up at 7AM, start your day at 6AM.
  2. Take a brisk walk for about 30 minutes in the morning. If you cannot do this in the morning, do this any time during the day. make sure you keep at least a 2 hour gap between your last meal and your walk. If you have easy access to a treadmill, great! Else you can just go to a nearby park or just walk around your building. Whatever and wherever it is safe. You just need to walk briskly - till you start to breathe a little heavily. Do not strain too much.
  3. Eat a very healthy breakfast. NEVER skip your breakfast.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.Breakfast equips you with all the energy your body and brain needs to carry on your morning activities till it takes you to lunch time. Fro breakfast , eat oatmeal, fruits, drink a glass of milk. stay away from coffee or tea where possible, or at least minimize it. Drink green tea instead, anti oxidant and helps keep your blood pressure in check. Again, if you are not the oatmeal kinda person, don’t bother, just have your regular breakfast. Just make sure you have a good breakfast - keeping it as healthy as possible. Avoid oily stuff.
  4. For lunch again, eat a balanced lunch. Do not overeat at any time. even your breakfast, do not overeat. Eat just enough to keep you hunger pangs at bay. For lunch, make sure you include green vegetables and any other stuff you like to eat. Eating a salad with green vegetables and or fruits will help balance your lunch. Again, stay away from oily fried stuff as mush as possible.
  5. During the day have smaller and frequent eating breaks if you like. Just do not overeat at any time. If you are hungry you may want to have a small snack, instead of a full lunch or meal.
  6. Drink a lot of water during the day. Drink a glass of water every 2 hours or so. Try to finish 2 liters of water during the day. This will keep you body hydrated and also reduce your hunger pangs a bit.
  7. Now to the most important part (this has the maximum impact) : Eat a light dinner, preferably just fruits and salad. Try to avoid eating meat during dinner. This may be a tough one. But even if you cannot eat a light dinner, try eating at least 3 hours before your bed time. Try to keep at least 3 hours gap between the time you eat your dinner and by the time you go to bed. NEVER go to bed with a full stomach! This is one of the main causes of weight gain. You will put on a lot of fat due to this habit. So, sleeping on a light stomach is keep to losing weight quickly and keeping the weight off till you change your lifestyle again. When you get up in the morning, you should be feeling hungry: which is good because you are about to ‘break’ your ‘fast’ with a healthy ‘breakfast’ :)

  8. Some other tips to keep the weight off and stay fit

    1. Minimize on alcohol consumption: a lot of times we tend to overeat while or after drinking.
    2. Drink 2 cups of green tea each day - preferably without sugar and cream.
    3. Avoid tea or coffee if possible
    4. Try to walk as much as possible each day. Park a little away from your office and walk it. Go walking to your grocery store or to the library. Take your kids for a walk in the park. Go hiking when possible.
    5. Do not sleep on a full stomach. Do some light activity after your dinner till you go to sleep.
    6. Do not eat while watching TV - you often do not realize how much you have eaten!

These are very simple tips people can follow. You need not do everything mentioned here - but try this for a week - do as much as you can - and if you shed even 1-2 pounds in a week you will be very motivated to stretch yourself a little more to lose more weight. All these tips for weight loss mentioned here do not cost you anything - in fact it may cut your gas bill if you walk more!

    Well my diet is actually better for me. I just eat a little bit of fruit every day. Lift dumb bells do push ups and sit ups I guess I lose weight like that faster
    and I drink water or orange juice but like half a glass and when I see that snickers or Twix or candy i say NO. You have to let it go be a WARRIOR. I’m keeping this up. It’s the third day I don’t see any reducing but that cant be spotted but i will feel it in a month or so I guess.
