9 Winning Tips To Lose Weight In 30 Days

Whatever the age group you are in, a healthy lifestyle makes you stronger physically and mentally. Balanced diet weight loss keeps you the sanity, polishes your sense of style and will improve your looks. I talked about fitness exercises the other day, and although exercising is important, it is hard to get the kit on, go out and work out if you haven’t for a long time. So the following are 9 tips to lose weight in 30 days without exercising.

1: Become A Good Cook

Take some time in the evening or over the weekend and try cooking everything from scratch. Stop buying ready-made meals, fast food or getting takeaways completely for the next 30 days. You need to know the ingredients in order to be able to cook your own meals, meaning you will learn how much oil and sugar you’re consuming. Naturally, you will start to use less fat and sugar, since you’re consciously trying to lose weight.

If you don’t think you’re ever a good cook – you know there are millions of online cookbook sites such as BBC Good Food. Google the name of the dish you wish to make and compare recipes in several sites. Recipes for one dish may vary – for example, one recipe may tell you to use 70g of flour with 2 eggs, whilst another one tells you 100g of flour with one egg. But don’t let it confuse you, they’re all created by proud chefs around the world, they’re probably all nice. Just choose a recipe you think is simple enough to try.

And most importantly, enjoy cooking. If you are willing to enjoy it and the food hasn’t turned out well, you’ll wonder what’s gone wrong and try to improve it next time, instead of giving it up.

2: Stop Drinking Fruit Juices and Eat Fruits Instead

It wouldn’t take you a few seconds to drink a glass of say, orange juice, which is made up of 3-4 oranges (depending on the size), but it would be a job to eat up 3-4 oranges at a time. It’s much healthier to eat oranges and take the fibre from the flesh. Don’t underestimate the amount of sugar that fruit juices contain – 250ml of white grape juice has as much sugar as 4 x Krispy Kreme doughnuts! So eat fruits, but stop drinking juices.

3: Eat A Lot Of Vegetables

Eat a lot of vegetables to take vitamins and minerals, eat raw as well as cooked. Leafy vegetables are full of fibre. Green vegetables generally contain a lot of vitamin C such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage.

4: Stop Drinking Alcohol Completely

If you are more than an occasional drinker, it’s difficult. But alcohol is an adverse effect on every count as far as weight loss is concerned. To list up a few;

• Alcohol stimulates appetite.
• Alcohol slows down your brain functions and your sense of balance, so to get your body back on the normal state, your brain craves more nutrition and tells you to eat even more.
• Alcohol is a depressant – demotivates your weight loss plan.
• Alcohol prevents your body from functioning properly, meaning it helps to burn your body fat less effectively.

So try stopping it completely for the next 30 days – and see how you feel.

5: Avoid Sugar

Try cutting down the amount of sugar – fizzy drinks, breakfast cereals, biscuits and sweets, put less sugar (or none) in your tea & coffee. If you can have artificial sweeteners and have no sugar fizzy drinks instead, that will be great.

6: Sleep Well

It’s important to have 7-8 hours of sleep every night because;

• Lack of sleep slows down your body’s metabolism / fat-burning mechanism.
• Staying up late likely to lead you to a late-night snacking.
• When staying up late out of necessity (e.g. study or work at home), you are tired and your brain tells you to “get some stamina to stay awake” – hence late-night snacking.
• Lack of sleep will weaken your determination to lose weight; you will lose concentration and not bothered to cook. Meaning you’ll likely to go for a fast-food again.

7: Eat Only Good Chocolate

Especially when you’ve stopped drinking completely, your body will crave for sweet, sugary food which is extremely hard to fight. It’s a good idea to give one permission to yourself; eat a small amount of good quality chocolate now and again. Chocolate that contains at least 70% of cocoa solids. Never otherwise. No salted caramel or strawberry cream, no other sweets or cakes. Good chocolates are more expensive for reasons; less sugar and far better in taste than cheap ones.

8: Become Calorie-Conscious

It is said that by strictly counting your calorie intake you will lose weight dramatically. While it may be true, it’s difficult to measure every spoonful of oil, every slice of vegetables and write it all down. But it’s definitely useful to be calorie-conscious at all times.

This may be controversial – but I have actually lost >7kg in the past by eating crisps (potato chips) instead of a dinner every night for a few weeks myself. It is an unhealthy diet and I wouldn’t recommend it, but an entire bag of low-calorie crisps was 300kcal, comparing to a plate of dinner which could amount to over 1,000kcal. The easy maths do make sense. Some may argue by mentioning the potato crisps’ high-fat contents, inferior quality of oil etc… But I actually lost weight simply by consuming fewer calories. Also because I wasn’t eating a big solid of food, my stomach shrunk at the time, started to eat less breakfast and lunch as well.

So, look at the meal in front of you and guess how many calories it has. Start checking what the food packages say. It will help.

9: Take Herbal Slimming Tablets

Slimming tablets certainly help you losing weight, but they can be harmful with side effects and potentially create a dependency. You can try vitamins for weight loss or herbal slimming tablets for a relatively short period.

Lastly…

If you strictly perform the above steps, you’ll definitely lose weight within the next 30 days. I hope these 9 tips will also help towards your long-term weight loss plan, to change your appearance and of course, to improve your overall health.
