Be More Active
It just goes without saying that you need to be active. Simple activities, such as lifting weight, climbing stairs or walking in the park can help you out. It will not only help you burn excess fat and keep that fat off of your body, but it is also going to help you to stay active.

Keep a Watch on Your Weight
I know looking at your weight as you step on that scale can be frustrating for some, but this is something that you need to do at least one time each week. If you are not active and eating junk food, this will make you aware of your weight at an early stage.

Drink a Large Amount of Water
Drinking lots of water will help you to detoxify all of those impurities that are in your body. You should drink eight to ten glasses of water each day. I recommend a warm glass of water during the morning time with lemon. Take note that water rejuvenates and cleanses the skin as well.

Keep Away from Junk Food
You need to avoid junk food completely. This also includes eating at the fast food chains. Keep junk food out of your home. If you like stuff such as burgers and pizza, then set a time each month (ONE time a month) that you can do it. DON’T cheat.

Eat Slowly
One way to avoid obesity would be to eat slowly. This will give your food time to catch up and send the message to your brain that you are no longer hungry. You may be surprised at how much is left in your plate.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Don’t Eat when You Are Not Hungry
Many of us eat out of pure boredom. If you do not feel hungry, then do not put food in your mouth. Remember, we eat only to survive and if you are not hungry, there is no reason to eat. This is one of the best ways to avoid obesity.
