The Lazy Man’s Guide To Losing Weight
July 29, 2008
If only there were a lazy, easy way to lose weight without killing yourself and without jogging around the neighborhood.
If you think your are going to lose weight in a boot camp, think again - it’s not going to work. You are probably like me and many others that work on a computer all day, here are some lazy weight loss tips to get you going. You heard right, lazy and lose weight in the same sentence.
1. Walk
This sounds too easy but it’s true. You need to start walking again. This is not the same as walking into the kitchen to get some snacks. This is real walking, even power walking if you should become inspired to.
Try to start walking for an hour in the morning. If the weather isn’t great you can go to a mall because most malls are open early even though the shops are not open yet.
If you don’t look out, the power walkers, who run the mall might run you over. You might also become a mall power walker and burn more calories at the same time.
2. Swim
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. Don’t snack in front of the TV or 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.
