Many people would love to get rid of some extra kilos, but it is only
the extremely dedicated and committed ones who end up reaching their
goals. Well, here are some habits that anyone can inculcate – and then
the weight loss will seem easier than we have ever thought before!

Video Games
One way is to play more colorful video games, like Candy Crush or
Tetris. This may seem strange, but this habit will distract you from
getting up and eating more when you are bored – often when we have
nothing to do we turn to snacks as something to occupy us with. By
getting used to the bright colors in the game, you will be prevented
from being tempted when you see bright packaging in the supermarket, as
it isn’t as enticing when you are used to it. |

Water
Another tip is to always drink a glass of water before starting a meal.
This is because water has no calories –and by filling space in your
stomach with something that is good for you, there is less space for the
things that will lead to weight gain. |

juices or Soda
Staying away from liquid calories is another habit that will help you
lose weight in the long run – forgo soda and juices and have water
instead, you will reduce your calorie intake by at least 100 calories,
and this will add up later and help with weight loss. If juice is
something extremely dear to you, then have it once a week, but try not
to have it regularly. |

Sleep
Sleeping more also could help with losing weight, as lack of sleep
increases your appetite. By making sure you are well rested, you will
feel less hungry, and there is also the bonus that in the extra hours
you sleep you will not be tempted to eat anything – both ways your
calorie intake will reduce! |

|
Salad
You can also skip hundreds of calories by avoiding dips and dressings
when eating a salad – if you are trying to keep healthy and you turn to
salads, don’t make them calorie laden and try to minimize the dressings
you use.

Spicy Food
Making it a habit to add more spice to your food is also a way to slowly
lose weight over time, as the spice makes you feel satiated quickly, so
you end up eating less. It also speeds up your metabolism, which means
your body is burning calories at an increased rate when you ingest spicy
food.
