If crazy diets, protein shakes and intense gym workouts aren’t your thing, then you should definitely try out these 5 easy and effective weight loss tips.

The idea of diet

If you feel diet is something that is beyond your goal, then avoid going on one. Rather than going on a diet, plan on eating healthy, coupled with a proper workout or any other physical activities.

It’s 9 o’clock

Avoid eating anything beyond 9 p.m. specially when it comes to carbohydrates or heavy meals. On days when you are late from work, try and stick to light meal options like soups and salads. If you still feel hungry, grab a glass of low-fat milk.

Spice it up

Are you one of those who always look for ways to enhance the flavour of their food? Do it with the right amount of spices rather than loading your food with calorie-laden sauces and dips. Spices and chillies are known to speed up your metabolism and burn your fat.

Good-bye alcohol

The most essential thing that you need to do to lose weight is to give up alcohol. In case your love for alcohol is greater than your urge to follow a diet, then you can occasionally have a glass of wine.

Be Healthy-Wise

If it’s somebody’s birthday, anniversary or farewell, or even if it’s your cheat day, don’t forget to be smart while ordering your food. Rather than calling for a yummy biryani or cheesy burgers, call for a chicken skewer or order a thin crust Hawaiian pizza instead.
