Lose Weight The Easy Way!



Do you want to lose weight without having to eat boring meals and ironing it out for hours at the gym? OK silly question, you probably wouldn't be here if you weren't at least interested right? Anyway, there are ways that can help you do just that. Here's just a few.

Get rid of hunger: Getting rid of hunger is one of the most important things you need to do in order to lose weight successfully. If you are always hungry, you will always eat, and weight loss will never happen. You should eat foods that can keep you full for a long time. Fiber-rich foods such as lentils, legumes, nuts, apples, peas, etc. are good foods that not only suppress your hunger but also keep your digestive system healthy!

Drink more water: You're probably fed up with hearing it, however believe it or not, you can lose at least 7-10 extra pounds just by drinking enough water. How? When you don't drink enough water, your body stores water inside, so as to meet any future water scarcity. Your body won't hoard water like this if it feels that there is an abundance of water. To assure your body of this abundance, you should drink at least eight 8ounce glasses of water daily!

I have found that people managed to lose a minimum of seven pounds once they started drinking more water! Once your body gets water regularly, it will stop hoarding water and flush out any excess water that it has stored! I'm willing to bet that although you have heard this dozens of times you still don't drink enough water.

But this is not where the many benefits of water end. Water also boosts your metabolic rate, which helps you burn fat and lose weight. Water also detoxifies your body. When your body has gotten rid of all the toxins, you will not only lose some more pounds, but also feel better into the bargain!

Hula Hooping: If you want to lose weight without exercises, hula hooping is a fun way to do it. All you need is an inexpensive weighted hula hoop (try e-bay). Just twirl it around yourself for at least one minute at a time. You need to do this exercise for ten minutes everyday, but if you cannot do it all at once, don't worry. Just do it whenever you find a little time.

If you do it only ten times per day, each time spending just one minute on it, you will be able to lose weight. Plus it is fun to do!

As you can see, weight loss doesn't have to be hard and scary. Follow the three tips above and see how easily you shed those extra pounds!
