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 yourprotein 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.
