The obesity epidemic around the world is getting worse day by day, though people are getting conscious about their health as well.  Thus, a major portion of the fitness industry has grown around weight loss. It is easier said than done as many people lose their motivation for weight loss somewhere along the journey. There are however some really easy steps that you can follow to ensure that you achieve your goals without them being too taxing on you. Let's look at 5 easy ways to lose weight quickly.

  1. Take walks, as frequently as possible - Without setting duration, it would be a good idea to incorporate walking into your schedule as often as possible. This will feel like less of a work out but will still burn off many of the calories.  Here are some things you can practically do:
    • Take stairs whenever possible
    • Do house cleaning chores such as mopping or cleaning as regularly as possible as these are great calorie burners
    • Park your car a little further away and walk to your destination or meetings
    • If availing public transport get off a few stops earlier and walk to your destination.
  2. Drink water right before meals - This is a great way to reduce portions automatically as drinking water right before a meal will fill up your stomach and result in you feeling not so hungry. Once your meal portions are reduced and continued over a long time this will help you lose weight.
  3. Instead of focusing on foods you don't like, increase foods you like in your diet - This is very true of most diets as people tend to start having cravings when they deny themselves of food. Thus it is advisable to slowly change your diet overtime and incorporate healthy options such as certain fruits or low calorie snacks that you like and slowly replace the unhealthy options.
  4. Use TV time as a quick exercise opportunity - If you are sitting in front of the TV, you can start a small regimen of doing a few free hand exercises when the commercials come up. Use every day objects near you as weight or as support platforms to do exercises while you don't have to pay attention to what's going on screen. 
  5. Remember it is the journey rather than the destination which matters - Many people tend to get engrossed about the end result and give up midway. You should remember that small things done correctly overtime can help you lose weight quickly and help you keep it off which is equally important.
