1. WALK!
Park your car a few blocks apart from the place you are going to and take to brisk walk to your office, grocery store, or a shopping mall. Intend to walk at least 30 minutes every day. At work, use some time during your lunch break to take a refreshing walk in a nearby park. If the weather is cold, you still can walk in your favourite mall.
2. Walk around the office …
In the office, get out of your comfortable chair and go visit your colleagues from a different department instead of messaging or phoning them. If you need to go to a washroom, choose the one located on the top floor and WALK there.
3. Choose the stairs …
Try to always take the stairs instead of an elevator. It will add a few hundreds of burn calories per day!
4. Forget about the remote …
While watching TV, do not use remote control. Instead, every time you need to switch channels, get up and do that manually.
5. Chew …
At dinner, choose steak instead of pasta. The more you chew, the more calories you burn!

Hi Amanda,
I came across your website as I was searching for appropriate excercise programs for weight loss. I am 19 years of age, and I weigh 120kg (I am Australian, so not sure what the U.S conversion is here to pounds, sorry!). Anyway, my aim is to lose atleast 20 kilos by the end of November, which is about 7 weeks away. Your advice on what I should eat and what excercise I could do would be GREATLY appreciated and I’m sure, highly beneficial.
Regards,
Elle
Hi Elle,
Well let’s start with the basics. You have a set aim and the willpower which is a great start. What you need next is a plan. Chart out what exactly you’re going to do in the coming weeks in order to get to your target. You could start off with 1 hr walks/jogs for the first week or two. Then up your game by joining a gym or group classes, be that spinning, aerobics, dancing , Zumba whatever. It’s always better to have someone watch over you to keep you motivated. Healthy eating comes next. Keep a diary. Calculate your calories. Here’s a great post to help you with that:

Are colon cleansers bad for a quick weightloss? I have a big party in 4 weeks, and I go to the gym 6 days a week, and I eat pretty normal. But those stubborn love handles wont go away and I want to look really nice in my dress, but I look funny with my love handles. Any suggestions?
Hey Nyah,
Thanks for stopping by. I don’t think colon cleansers are bad for you in any way. Infact I think they’re quite the opposite. But I’m no professional so here’s an article that may be of help. http://www.webmd.com/balance/natural-colon-cleansing-is-it-necessary
What I do know for sure is that 4 weeks is plenty of time to lose those love handles if you really put your mind and soul into it!
Green tea with cinnamon powder ( half teaspoon ) plus freash lemon juice ( half teaspoon ) , 3 to 4 times a day decreases blood sugar level and is helpful even for weight loss .
M.S Qureshi,
Green tea has some amazing benefits and it doesn’t taste all that bad once you get used to the taste. Thanks for sharing :)
M.S Qureshi: I am going to have to try that recipe. I love cinnamon. :)
