Stay in motion
Do not stay in rest

20

Make a list of groceries before heading to the store
Do not go buy groceries on empty stomach

For many people grocery shopping is a painful process, but unavoidable because we all need food to survive.

24

Reduce amount
Do not cut the time

That’s why the more work you do there the less stress will go to your stomach. In addition, by chewing food properly you prepare your stomach better for further processing it.

25

Extract the energy from balanced healthy food
Do not maintain the being by munching junk

Some of those reasons may be using certain drugs or medication (side effect of hormone disorders or its treatments). Consult with your physician about the cause of the problem and possible remedies for that.

34

Create nutrition plan
Do not implement thoughtless starvation and vital nutrients extraction

It is evidently simple that you have to be physically active to progress with losing weight, but selection of nutrients you consume is more complex question. Do not go on a promising diet for losing 5 pounds a week if vital macro- or micronutrients will be banned. Well balanced nutrition is not about extracting sugar-rich or fatty food from organism but about reasonable ingestion.

35

Follow fat burning diets
Do not harm your health

Individuals who can overcome the desire to eat few times will definitely reach their weight loss target.

38

Kill your time actively

The worst thing to do to your body is just lie on a bed in front of a TV set and chew something in addition.

40

Intake small portions at about the same time
Do not let long breaks between meals

It is not recommended to have long intervals between your fare consumption due to probabilities of side effects, such as fatigue, headaches, indigestion, and gassiness. In addition, you might get other health related problems which can affect your mouth, teeth, hair, nails, bones, skin, and more. Furthermore, no one should skip meals entirely because there won’t be any benefit from that either. Usually calories from skipped meals will be caught up with the very next large meal anyway.

Some people are concern that when a person thinks about fare his gastric glands which are within the stomach secret the gastric juice and if he will not eat anything it might be harmful for the body organ. Train yourself to intake food at the same time in order to develop such important eating habit. That way you won’t dream about starch anywhere in between meals.

41

Enjoy your meals in the kitchen
Do not eat while doing something else

Try to focus on what you eat and not on anything else. That’s why do not attempt to get done few things at once. Remember that is usually not worthwhile even if you have lack of time. For example, you try to combine your diner with doing some school or job assignment at home. The chances are that you will eat longer and less enjoyable. Plus it will take more time to complete the project anyway and the risk of eating more than necessary may increase.

42

Drink plenty of different healthy liquids

Spend your day offs actively
Do not sleep a whole day

Our human laziness might make us wait weekends to finally sleep for the whole week. However, even if you feel like you constantly do not have good night sleeps it is not a reason just do not do anything. Take your good 8 or 9 hours of the night's rest and then be in motion. You can make yourself busy by shoveling snow in winter as an example.

44

Plan your activities for every season
Do not hibernate in winter

Try to go with your family or friends at least somewhere, such as walk in the park or near the lake. Educate yourself by visiting museums to see exhibitions. If you have kids, go play with them in the snow, ski, ice skate, sled from a hill, etc...

45

Consume more liquids than solids
Do not eat more than you drink

Different body organs have different percentage of water consistence. However, overall about 2/3 or even more of our body is water depending on whether it is a young or older person. Therefore, the importance of water intake cannot be overemphasized. Just think that people can live without solids for relatively long period of time, but without water about a week or less than that.

46

Manage your stress
Do not worry more than necessary

People worry all the time even though everyone knows that stress may kill us slowly. That’s why try not to forget about it even in your worst life’s moments. Your health is the most important treasure you should be concern about. Find harmony in your heart and think about all the positive you have in your life.

47

Intake fare that your body needs
Do not be seduced by everything that tastes good

Be picky with everything that you plan to eat. Make yourself think twice before opting for any choice especially alcohol and chocolates. It is not ok to think that “oh, I have that today and will start dieting tomorrow”. Your plan of getting rid of pounds might never come true because there is so many extremely delicious treats that you may not have enough of your life time to try them all.

48

Be patient
Do not expect it happens right away

49

Shake your fat
Do not hesitate to enroll in adults dance classes

50

Have sex
Do not be passive

Exercises won’t stop even at night if you will make love with your spouse or partner. There are lots of health benefits related to this as well.
