The Lazy Girl's Guide to Losing Weight

 

Losing weight takes a lot of sweat and discipline, but even when you're not powering through a treadmill interval workout or counting calories, there are a lot of simpler ways to see those kilos drop on the scale. Employing these 10 little tricks daily will help you lose weight, no gym or diet required.

 

1. Always start a meal with a glass of water: You'll stay hydrated and feel fuller instantly, which can help you from overeating.
2. Make a few simple swaps at every meal: Going for a vinaigrette dressing instead of a Green Goddess dressing at lunch can save you 80 calories, while opting for fresh fruit instead of dried can save you dozens as well. Get a list of simple swaps to save calories here.
3. Have a piece of dark chocolate for dessert: Instead of opting for the cookies in the break room, quiet your sugar cravings with a piece of dark chocolate. It may not feel quite as satisfying the first few times, but as you wean yourself off your sugar addiction, you'll be glad you're saving calories while having a healthy yet decadent treat.
4. Be diligent with portion control: If you want to lose weight, sticking to the right portions at every meal is important. Measure out snacks beforehand instead of eating from the bag, use smaller plates to visually signal that your meal will satisfy, and put away leftovers, so you're not tempted to go back for seconds.
5. Move more: Even if you're not dedicating an entire chunk of time to a workout, you can burn a few extra calories by making an effort to move a little more during the day. Taking breaks to walk around the office, opting for the stairs instead of the escalator, and parking a little farther from the office entrance are all simple ways to up your calorie burn.
6. Don't drink your calories: It's a common reason why you're not seeing results — those empty calories from a daily soda, morning juice, or large glass of wine at dinner can really add up. Stick to water flavored with a fresh ingredients like cucumber, lemon, or mint in order to save on important calories.
7. Don't go hungry too long: A little hunger can be good for you, but starving yourself all day in order to "splurge" on dessert at night is both unhealthy and diet sabotage. Eat well-timed meals and snacks in order to avoid low blood sugar levels that cause you to crash.
8. Snack on high-protein, high-fiber foods: When it's time to snack, make your food work for you. Steer clear of the empty, high-calorie options like chips and crackers, and go for protein and fiber-rich foods that taste good and fill you up too. You'll be able to eat fewer calories while still feeling satisfied. One of these 150-calorie snacks will surely hit the spot.
9. Eat a light, early dinner. Try to keep your dinner to about 25 percent of your daily calories, and have it at least two to three hours before going to bed. Eating too much too late can cause digestion and sleep issues that make it hard to stick to a healthy routine.
10. Get more sleep. Lack of sleep can cause you to eat more throughout the day and not have enough energy for your workouts, so aim for seven to nine hours of sleep every night. It's an easy and effective way to keep your weight-loss goals on the right track.

 ‘Lazy Tips For Weight Loss! Nice!'

Meal Suggestions For The Paleo Diet

Lean meats are a Paleo Diet staple. Photo Credit steak image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com

Dr. Zane Andrews explains that carbohydrates and sugar have become a higher percentage of people's diets since the 1980s, with potentially negative health consequences. One diet that wants to reverse this dietary trend is the Paleo Diet. Creighton University notes, in its strictest form, the Paleo Diet only allows you to eat foods that your ancient ancestors would have had available. In practice, this means eating mostly lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.

Breakfast

Eggs are allowed on the Paleo Diet, which makes it easy to start the day with an tasty Paleo meal. The website Everyday Paleo suggests a breakfast scramble. Saute 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, 1 sliced bell pepper, half a red onion, six asparagus stalks in olive oil. Add in six eggs and scramble it all together.

Wrap It Up

The homemade sandwich in a brown paper bag is a staple meal for many students and those in the workforce. But, since the Paleo Diet doesn't want you to eat breads—even whole-grain ones—that is not an option. Try a wrap using lettuce or cabbage instead. Take full leaf of lettuce and then layer it with normal sandwich fair: meat, more veggies and a healthy fat such as avocado. Carefully roll the wrap and you have your lunch. 

Dinner

Eliminating common dinner foods like rice, pasta, bread and beans might seem to make dinner planning hard. But, once you get used to it, a Paleo Diet dinner is simple to put together. Focus your dinner around a lean meat, prepared with the flavors and spices you like, and a variety of vegetables. For example, marinate a steak and then grill it alongside some sauteed broccoli, onions and bell peppers—or whatever veggies you have on hand.
