Choose Diet Soda and Eat Fruits When Craving for Sweets

For most people, it can be really hard to cut down on calories as well as measure portion size and to end up realizing just how many calories they are really eating. Nonetheless, drinks high on sugar and sweets like candies and chocolates are one of the aspects that contributes at least one fourth to one third or many people’s daily calorie intake. You can easily cut down 80 to 1,600 calories or may be even more if you give up on these temptations; depending on how many of these you consume every day.

A 100g bar of chocolate contains around 500 calories, while a bottle of a 2 litre of soda has about 800 calories. In comparison, diet sodas have close to zero or zero calories and a medium sized banana has only 100 calories. Eat fruits instead of a bar of chocolates if you’re craving for something sweet to eat or have some handful of nuts.

Give Some Time to Meditate and Stretch When Stressed of Feeling Fatigued

It is important to do some static stretches after every workout, whether it be running or weightlifting. However, stretching can also be used whenever you’re feeling a little agitated. Doing 10 to 15 minutes of stretching not only aid in alleviating muscle soreness and joint pains, but it will also help in relaxing your mind. Basically, your mind will be occupied with doing the stretches and forget about your stress and worries for the meantime.

Make sure to end these stretches with another 10 minutes of breathing slowly in a position where you are comfortable. Try to clear your mind and start focusing on counting with each breath. Once you reach ten, start over from one. Stress management is essential to keep your mind and body in great health and will keep you from emotional eating.

Walk a Total of 1 to 2 Hours a Day

This is the simplest and easiest hobby to acquire and is really great for both your weight loss and heart. It may not burn that much calories compared to running, or circuit training, but it is much easier and you will be less likely to skip a bout and will not mind doing it for an hour or two at a time.

You can do this by parking a bit further away from your home, using the stairs more often, and going shopping with your friends or taking your dog out for a walk. You can also do some chores around the house for such as doing at least 30 to 60 minutes of vacuuming or dusting and washing dishes. These simple tasks can help you burn calories that can make a difference to your body.

Watch TV and Do Some Cardio

If you can, invest in an exercise machine and place it in your living room. You can get a quick round of cardio while you are watching your favourite TV show or listening to an audio book.
