Easy Ways to Lose A Weight

Here are some of the easiest tips that you can use to lose weight at a safe rate:
Don’t Skip Breakfast: In the morning, our energy stores run out and thus our body begins to save energy and burn fewer calories. Breakfast skippers were 4 1/2 times more likely to be obese than breakfast eaters. For more long-lasting energy, include whole grain complex carbohydrates like oatmeal.
Throw in a cup of halved strawberries: Research suggests that getting enough vitamin C — 75 mg a day — may be essential for optimal fat burning. The strawberries provide 90 mg.
Get a dose of sunlight: Exposure to bright light decreases melatonin and increases serotonin, shifting our body from sleep to awake mode and, thus help use up calories saved in our body.
Take your multivitamin: Antioxidant nutrients help protect mitochondria, tiny structures found in every cell, from damage; they’re the microscopic fat-burning furnaces that convert food into fuel.
Move at the office: Moving throughout the day — even if it’s just walking to a colleague’s office rather than sending an e-mail — keeps your metabolism higher than doing a workout and then remaining sedentary.
Sip a cup of coffee or tea: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that moderately boosts metabolism, helping you burn about 20 extra calories.
Have a midmorning snack: Good choices are a reduced-fat cheese stick or a cup of low-fat yogurt and a piece of fruit. Every time you eat, your body burns additional calories to digest the food. Take advantage of this automatic boost by eating something — even if it’s very small — every 3 to 4 hours.
Stretch at your desk: Counter the metabolism-depressing effects of midday stress by boosting circulation and easing upper-body tension. And take deep breaths while you stretch to provide cells with the energy-producing oxygen they need to burn fat.
Chair reach and drop: Sit on edge of chair, feet flat, back straight. Extend arms overhead, palms facing each other, and gently arch back as far as comfortable. Hold 1 to 2 seconds, then sit back up and lower arms out to sides.
