Simple Tricks to Help you Lose Weight

I thought, giving you some simple tricks to lose weight, will help you along your journey. These are things you can do everyday, while you are doing your daily routine. So you wont have to take any time out of your day for these. If you don't have time to exercises as much as you should (like most of us) then changing some things in your routine, will help you out. Now you still have to find some time to exercises, so don't try and use this as an excuses not to.

While out shopping park further away from the door. This will make you walk further and when you think about it, can save you some gas money. Because your not driving around in circles trying to find the closest parking spot.

When shopping in a store, try taking the stairs to get to the next level instead of the elevator. This will get you in some extra walking time, and walking up stairs is better then just plain walking.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. A lot of time we think we are hungry when we are actually dehydrated. Also before each meal, down a glass full of water. This will help fill you up, so you wont eat as much food.

5-6 small light meals, instead of 3 heavy meals is the way to go. This gives your body better time to process what its taking in. Make sure you don't skip foods, you want your body to get use to eating at certain times. This way it doesn't go into starvation mode, where it stores all your fat.

Stop eating when you are full, not stuffed. When you eat until your stuffed, you are slowly stretching your stomach out. Thus, next time you eat, it will take more food to fill you up. Get into a habit of this, and the results are not going to be pretty.

Turn music on when cleaning your house. This gets you moving faster and your heart rate up higher. Chances are you will be more active with the music on. I always have the music on when I clean. I can get things done faster, when I am singing and dancing along to some good tunes.

These are just a few changes you can make to your daily routine and it will help you stay fit. Its not going to make them pounds pour off, but it will help you out.
