You don’t want to jog around the neighborhood! Isn’t there an easier way to lose weight without killing yourself?
Boot camp is also not the solution; the captain might fight you for your stash of Twinkies. If you are like me and a couple of million other people, you probably work in front of a computer the whole day. Here are some tips to get you going, yes, you can still be lazy and lose weight.
1. Walk
Yes it sounds easy, but it works, start walking but not to the kitchen for snacks. I am talking about real walking.
Walk for at hour first thing in the morning, even if the weather is’nt playing along, go to a mall. The shops are not open yet, but the mall is open early and you can walk there.
Don’t get run over by power walkers. They take over the mall and will bump you out of the way if you don’t look out for them. Perhaps you will become a mall power walker, it will help to burn more calories.
2. Swimming
Do you own a lake or a swimming pool? Alright, maybe this is going to sound like more work than it’s worth but it’s worth it. Community centers, YMCAs and YWCAs and some gyms have pools. Swimming is a great way to get an aerobic workout.
If swimming sounds like too much work, then you have not been in the water for awhile. Swimming is fun! We are not talking about joining the swim team, either. If you can get out and swim a few times a week, this will burn off the fat.
3. Try to eat more meals
I mean you should eat more often, but smaller portions. Your body can process calories better when it is digesting food. If you only eat once or twice a day your body’s metabolic rate will be running slowly.
4. Stop snacking while watching TV or at the computer
You have to beak the habit of having a snack at hand. You have to learn to say no and just doing this will help you lose weight from around your stomach area.
5. Find a substitute
You have to stay away from fast foods for a while. Once you get started its easy. When you feel like a sweet treat, try eating fresh fruit and avoid fries and milkshakes. When you eat unprocessed foods it’s not only healthy, but your body is working while you are at the computer or in front of the TV.
These are real lazy ways that you can start losing weight. They will all work for you without you having to really work at it very hard. There is some activity required, I apologize for this, but nothing included in this article is going to be that strenuous on you to lose a few easy pounds.
