Weight Loss: Tips For Lazy People (Based On Personal Experience)

There are thousands of websites, books, and magazines about weight loss, dieting, and fitness. Most of these tips and techniques, however, require loads of self control and free time. We will provide some tips based on a personal experience of losing weight and not losing your mind at the same time. We call them tips for lazy people. Of course these are tips for losing just a couple of kilos (I lost 5), we are not talking about dramatic weight loss of 10 kilos and more.
So, here we go.

1. Set no deadlines
Seriously, you have plenty of time ahead. If you have been a little bit overweight until now, this means the world won't stop turning around if it takes you a few more months to lose the unwanted kilos. You don't have to do it over a week. Stop worrying and feeling guilty about missing deadlines you have set. Relax and think about the result, not about the time it takes to achieve it.

2. Consult a Yoga teacher
Ask about the Ayurvedic Tridosha concept. Find out your bodily humour (dosha): are you a Vata, a Pitta, or a Kapkha? Depending on your dosha, you could get advice on how many times a day it is recommended for you to have meals, as well as which tastes should prevail in your nutrition. Even if you don't normally practise Yoga or Ayurveda, this system might be very helpful. It really works!

3. Stop thinking about it!
This is actually an extra reminder to Tip No 1. Stop thinking about losing weight, stop counting every single calorie you take, stop counting glasses of water you drink per day and stop checking your weight. Relax. Don't get on scales more often than once a week.

4. If you want to eat a pack of potato chips, eat it.
It's better than eating 1/4 pack of potato chips daily and constantly thinking about the rest of the pack. Eat it up and forget about potato chips for the next month.

5. Listen to yourself
Know your optimum weight and make sure you stop once you have reached it. If you have been listening to your body, it will be easy to maintain your optimum weight in future.
