Losing weight can be one of the most difficult things to achieve. You may have already gotten that promotion, travelled the world, taken a walk down the aisle, while those extra pounds hung on for dear life, witness to every other achievement you've had.
You've tried out every trick on the book, every diet and exercise trend that has come and go, none have worked for you.
Maybe now is the time to try out something different. Listed below are a list of 10 unconventional weight loss tips, most of which you've probably never heard or thought of. Give them a go and figure out which ones work best for you.
1. Always take the stairs. Taking the steps will also bring you closer to weight loss success, not just your office.
2. Before having dinner out, have a protein smoothie. This will help you feel fuller so you won't get the urge to order the biggest dish on the menu or load up on food from the buffet.
3. Have the server prepare the salad dressing on the side. When eating, dip your fork into the dressing first before skewering some vegetables. That way you still get to taste the dressing without soaking your salad with too much calories.
4. "Nothing after 7pm." This means not eating, especially unhealthy food, after dinner time. Have a fixed dinner schedule and stick to it.
5. Work out on a Friday before you go out on some fancy dinner date or drinks with your gang. This will make you think twice before consuming anything unhealthy.
6. Park your car on the farthest possible slot on the parking lot. This is a great opportunity for you to put in a bit of a power walk. If you have things to carry, all the better. Having extra weight to lug around will make you make the most out of the short exercise you squeezed in.
7. Put up a photo of yourself in your underwear by the mirror, the more unattractive the better. This will motivate you to work on your body a bit more. You can also purchase an item of clothing a couple of sizes smaller and aim to lose enough weight to fit into it.
8. Don't just drink the suggested 8 glasses of water, take in some more and finish at least one glass before every meal. This will make you feel fuller without the extra calories.
9. Out of mind, out of site. If you don't have any unhealthy meals or snacks stored up in your home, you won't crave it as much because driving out to satisfy yourself with a calorie-filled fix is too much of a hassle. Instead, stock up on healthier alternatives including fruits and vegetables.
10. Have a jump rope in the drawer of your desk at work. This way you can squeeze in a 5 to 10 minute cardio routine even if you're work requires you to sit at your table for hours on end.
These are only a few easy tips to get you a step closer to that leaner and healthier body you've been dreaming of. Get creative and come up with a few of your own.
