11 Ways To Lose Weight For Lazy People
Even though they are lazy ways, they do require minimal effort from your side and if you can’t even do the bare minimum then it will be very hard for you to lose weight.
1. Cut The Sugar
Do you know for most people looking to lose weight what got them to where they are at the first place?
And sugar is nothing but carbs, empty calories.
Now some of you might not consume raw sugar but that doesn’t matter. Because every food you love to eat be it colas, sodas, packed juices or any junk food is full of sugar. According to the American Heart Association, a can of soda contains 132.5 calories just from added sugar. So, your soda is not just a fizzy liquid it’s a huge source of carbs.
Carbs are so evil good that we train our body into thinking that it needs carbs for energy. It’s why you grab that can of soda or eat that cookie.
On top of that, sugary items are made so easy for us to grab with vending machines and packaging. You never have to worry about making them. That’s not all, eating sugar makes your body crave more sugar and you don’t even realize that you’re just flying through that candy. Piece after piece goes down.
Next thing, youend up consuming more carbs than our body can burn off so it ends up getting converted into fat.
Now, Sugar can stay in your diet as it’s not realistic to cut down sugar completely from your diet.But if you want to see a change in your body, you must put a limit on your sugar intake.
If you want that piece of cake, go eat it. But stop at one piece, don’t end up taking in two more pieces. Moderation is the key.
Slowly take away the amount of sugar you take in and eventually you’ll reach a point where you may not even realize you don’t need to have that piece of candy in your everyday lif.
If you are serious about cutting sugar and want to see some substantial results then I recommend you check out this.
2. Don’t Drink Calories
What’s better than a can of soda in summer heat or even when you are thirsty, right?
But these sodas are bad for your body and are one of the worst ways to gain weight. Even packed fruit juices are not good for your body as they are loaded with sugars.
Yeah, they taste good like every other thing loaded with sugars which fills your body with a ton of calories making you fat.
The best thirst-quenching drink for the body is still plain old Water which contains zero calories.In fact, drinking water can be really helpful to you in losing weight. How?
Well, it’s 100% calorie-free so you are no longer drinking calories. Plus, water aids in digestion so it helps burn more calories and even suppress appetite if consumed before meals.
You can even fall back on flavor-infused water if you don’t like to drink plain water. A fruit-infusing water bottle definitely comes handy if you like to drink fruit infused water.
3. Eat On Smaller Plates
It’s all about psychology.
Ever happened with you that you eat a plate full of food and your stomach feels like it’s trying to punch its way out of your body. All because of eating on a large plate. How?
When you take a small portion on a large plate, your mind sends a signal that you are depriving yourself and you automatically put more food than needed to be full because of the empty space on the plate. Add to that our bad habit of needing to finish everything on the plate because it’s the fact we hate to waste money so it only makes sense to eat all of the food. All this results in overeating.
4. Brush Your Teeth
Brush your teeth right after dinner instead at bedtime. Immediately go brushing after a meal, don’t wait for dessert.
How does this help?
The reasoning behind this is that nobody likes the taste of food after they brush their teeth. Even if you do, you wouldn’t want to mess up your freshly brushed teeth and ruin that perfect mouth with food.
You might be an irresistible snacker in the evening but this tiny lifestyle change will help you avoid that dessert or snack after a meal.
5. Start Chewing Gum
This tip is one of the best but controversial too. As there are a lot of gums out there that are loaded with sugars and are terrible for you.Chewing gum is an amazing way to control your appetite. Most of the times we eat because we are bored not because we are hungry. Chewing gum helps in reducing such cravings that lead to excessive snacking.

6. Stop Drinking Alcohol
Alcohol and weight loss generally don’t go hand in hand.
No matter how your body processes alcohol but it’s effects are the same for everyone. Alcohol makes your body store fat and does not help with any fat loss.
So, the calories you consume from alcohol can sabotage your attempts at weight loss. On top of that, alcohol drops our inhibition and willpower. And you end up saying “screw it, I can burn this burger later!”. End result = more calories in your system = weight gain.
That being said, moderation is key everywhere but the problem with Alcohol is we often drink more than a single serving of alcohol without even knowing it. So, staying away from it while losing weight is indeed a good idea.
7. Slow It Down
Ever heard the saying’ “Slow and steady wins the race”.
It’s true for eating if you want to lose weight. The faster you eat the faster you gain weight. Food is meant to be savored.
Make a habit to savor your food, slow yourself down and enjoy what you are eating. The benefit, you are more likely to eat less food. How?
Eating slower tricks your body into thinking that it is getting fuller faster. It takes your brain about 20 minutes to register if you are full or not so eating slower is good for you. If you want to know more about this check out
Eating a meal this way involves focusing on the meal and nothing else. So, this means your PC, tablet, laptop, phone etc. will have to wait until you are done.
8. Start Smart
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. Eating a healthy breakfast not only quickstarts your day but also stop you from snacking before lunch as your tummy stays full. I try not to avoid breakfast whenever possible.
It’s a good habit to begin lunch and dinner with a broth-based soup or veggie-rich salad. This will fill you up with a high volume of low-calorie food thereby displacing some of the foods you’ll eat next- which are usually higher in calories.
You can also eat some healthy fat (around 60-70cals) like a few slices of avocado or even a handful of nuts 10 minutes before each meal. This helps activate ghrelin, a hormone that helps your body know that you’re full and prevents you from overeating.
9. Eat Fat-Burning Snacks
For those who find it hard to quit snacking, replace your high-calorie fat-gainer snacks with fat-burning snacks.
So, prepare some healthy snacks and munch on them whenever you feel the urge to snack. Stay away from all the pre-packaged snacks no matter how healthy they claim to be.
10. Get Plenty of Sleep
Sleep is your body’s best friend and is important for pretty much every one of your physical systems.
According to research from the University of Colorado, cravings for junk and fries food skyrockets if you are sleep deprived.
Sleep deprivation affects almost every process of the body. It also increases the level of the hunger hormone called ghrelin and decreases levels of the fullness hormone called leptin.
This leads to overeating and weight gain. Preventing your body from getting its sleep means preventing it from doing what’s best.
So get your sleep!
11. Keep it Short and Simple
Now, most lazy people would hate me for this one but it’s gonna be really helpful not only for weight loss but also in general.
A little physical activity never hurts and is always good for your body even if it is 10 minutes of simple workout. There are hundreds of workout that can be done from home easily.
Apart from aiding in weight loss, it also ensures proper functioning of the body. I don’t think any of you want your body to be at a point where you are even struggling to stand up.
Think about it, all you need is 10 minutes of simple workout. You don’t even need to go to Gym (though it wouldn’t hurt).

Keto BLT with Cloud Bread Instructions Cloud bread Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Separate the eggs. Put the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another. Whip egg whites together with salt (and cream of tartar, if you are using any) until very stiff, preferably using a hand held electric mixer. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving. Add cream cheese to the egg yolks and mix well. To make the oopsie more bread-like, add in the optional psyllium seed husk and baking powder. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture — try to keep the air in the egg whites. Place 8, flattened dough rounds on a parchment paper lined baking tray. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes, until they turn golden. Building the BLT Fry the bacon in a skillet on medium high heat until crispy. Place the cloud bread pieces top-side down. Spread 1–2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each. Pl...
Create Gravity Defying Glutes With 6 Great Butt Growing Exercises If you’re looking to pump up a small behind, there are only four letters that you need to know: BOSU. Put simply, a BOSU — which stands for “both sides up” or “both sides utilised” is a half exercise ball with a platform on the bottom, designed keep the user off balance. Standard exercises, like squats and lunges, become more difficult since the body has to not only perform the exercise, but also fight to remain stable throughout the movement. You’re changing your centre of gravity with each part of the reps. As you step onto the dome, there’s more tension in your front leg, so you’re emphasising your front quad more. And because your front foot is elevated, the glutes in your rear leg are better activated, too. Following a program that targets the tough-to-tone areas of the glutes while increasing core stabilisation — like this plan— will better your chances of achieving the...
