When you wanna knock off those extra kilos.

Enough number of articles and books have been written about weight loss. They offer all sorts of advice- some practical and the rest impractical and difficult to follow. I am completely against following crash diets such as the General Motors diet, cabbage diet, fruit and juice etc etc. Follow these simple tips and am sure it won’t be long before you will be smiling when you hit the scales.

From fat to fit - Mission accomplished

1. Drink green tea: One of the secrets to a successful weight loss plan is to drink at least 2 cups of green tea. Have one cup immediately before you start exercising. It helps burn fat faster and eventually to a slimmer you. 
2. Chalk out a plan and mark out your goals: It is more important to be fit than skinny. Size zero is not attractive; instead opt for a healthier body with an optimum body weight. After all you would not want to look like a Somalian, would you? 
3. Avoid junk food: Ok, now we all know this … but eventually it is extremely difficult to follow. Gooey chocolate cake, juicy burgers with colas and cheese pizzas are far too tempting to resist. But, how about rewarding yourself with these when you achieve your goals instead of gorging on them all the while. Avoid processed and pre packaged foods as well as they contain zero nutrition but loads of calories. Munch on healthier options such as nuts, puffed rice, carrot and cucumber sticks. 
4.    Eat every two hours: I know strange as it may sound but eating every two hours does help loose weight. By doing this you help maintain your metabolic rate. Starving yourself will result in loss of muscle but not fat. So do realise that by eating sensibly every two hours you can shed the excess flab. 
5. Stick to an exercise regime: Consistency helps you gain the edge in your battle. Pick up an activity such as weight training, gymming, jogging or better still indulge in your favourite sport – swimming, squash, football or cricket. As long as you like it and you are consistent, weight loss will be easily achievable. Better still work out with friends, so that you always have someone to motivate you J

Battle of the bulge is not as difficult as it seems. Just keep going and eat right and the flab will melt away (quite literally)!!
