Painless Ways to Lose Weight

Here are what I thought were the best and simple ideas to lose weight I got from a website.

1)      Add food don’t subtract food. This is to say add healthy foods.   Some ideas are deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, snow peas, strawberries, carrot sticks, apple, and celery.  Slip the foods into your lunch, soups, and sauces.

2)      Forget About the word exercise.  Don’t call your routine exercise and do such things as riding bikes, hiking, washing the car, chasing the dog around the yard.

3)      Go Walking.   Even a short walk is something.  Park your car at the back of the lot under that tree for Arizonians.  Hike the mall meaning window shopping a couple of rounds.  Take the stairs everywhere you can.  Crank the music and get your heart rate up the next time you clean house.

4)      Hydrate yourself!  Before you eat drink a glass of water.  This helps to prevent you from gorging.  Try to drink water whenever possible. For men you should drink 13 cups (104 oz) and for women 9 cups (72 oz).
