suit for the ​summer​, or simply to lead a healthier lifestyle, you know it is a task that

needs time and patience. We are all guilty of trying all sorts of diets and ​fitness​ tips to
lose those extra pounds. While some have been successful in meeting their goals

adopting extreme measures, others have struggled and struggled to a point that have

made them give up hope. The truth is that losing weight is easy, but only if done in the

right manner. So here are my top 10 secrets to help you achieve your target weight this

year, and not just that, these daily practices would also help you lead a healthier life.

Top 10 tips to reboot your body and kick start weight loss

1. Start Your Day With A Workout

Set up your alarm 20 minutes early and schedule your workout first thing in the morning.

Studies suggest that people who exercise in the morning are relatively slimmer and

healthier than the ones who exercise later in the day. Carry the feel good hormones and

energy throughout the day by doing your ​exercise​ in the morning.

2. Skip the Scale

Don't weigh yourself daily, sometimes it just unnecessarily panics you and can be demotivating.

Also, the scale can be deceiving as it ignores the fact that you might be adding muscle weight.

Weigh yourself once a week and ideally in the morning.

3. Carry Your Own Snacks

When I consult clients I have realised that their main meals are well managed, however,

snack​ is an area where most of them end up going for unnecessary foods and

jeopardise their weight loss. It's a great idea to pack your own snack at work or on the

go. Make small packs of nuts and seeds, fruits, plain yogurt, chaach, sprouts, dark

chocolate, chilla, cubes of paneer or cheese.

4. Eat An Apple

This one is my favorite, and I tell most of my clients "eat an apple or visualise it. If you

are not hungry enough to eat one full ​apple​, you are not hungry, just bored!". Engage in

fun activities or hobbies like singing, reading or whatever you fancy. Thinking about food

all the time can be extremely taxing for your weight loss efforts.
5. Try To Eat Meals At Home

For the next 10 days try to eat maximum meals at home. This gives you complete

control over ingredients like sugar, fat, oil and salt that goes into your food. You will be

surprised how fast you will lose all that extra flab by just doing this.
6. Become a Water Baby

Go for a swim and up your fluid intake, drink loads of ​water​ and green vegetable juices.

Every season offers us an abundance of water-rich fruits; in summers you have fruits

like melons, in the winter months go for ​amla​-water or warm ​nimbu-paani​. Go for the

incredible summer fruits and vegetables that are 96% water. In fact a study showed how

14 men and women increased their metabolic rate by 30% by just increasing their water

intake on a daily basis.

7. Eat Slowly

We all know this, but now put it in practice. You will be surprised how your portions will

reduce and your food will be absorbed better. Eat in a state of complete relaxation for

optimum absorption and ​digestion.

8. Eat Protein

Increase your​protein ​intake as it helps burn fat, and build muscle. Eat cheese, eggs,

sprouts, lentils chicken, fish or meat. Also, protein keeps you full as your body takes

time to digest protein, hence you are satiated.

9. Don't Stock Unhealthy Food at Home

It is impossible to resist temptation if it is sitting on your kitchen shelf. Don't get ​evil

foods​, don't eat evil food. No one in your family needs processed, unhealthy, packaged

food. The only way to work around it is to not buy them.

10. Think About Your Ideal Weight

Imagine yourself at your dream weight. Visualise wearing an outfit you have dreamt of,

and see yourself slim. Everything in existence has begun with the right thought.

Positively reinforce and tell yourself "I will achieve xyz weight in 10 days, don't doubt

your thought. Give it the right energy, and see yourself happy and leaner not just in

thought but in reality.
