  4. Avoid sedentary livestyles: you must have heard this before, have you put it into practice? sitting around is the order of the day, from the house to school, office and different places gone to everyday, sitting down is done, sometimes opt to stand or walk that short distance to market etc,try to brisk walk(walking as if u’re late for a meeting).
  5. Find a diet suitable for you,try different diet and you will surely find the one suitable for you, any diet can help you lose weight but then is the diet healthy? The quality of the calories matters too,that’s why you need to choose wisely.you can decide to eat food that covers your satietion i.e foods that will take longer for you to feel hungry, like proteinous foods.
  6. Eat a lot of fibers which are mostly fruits and vegetables, they provide you with many benefits and instead of that fried egg rolls every afternoon substitute it with fruit or vegetables.
  7. Keep your mind away from food,yes you need to, keep ur self busy with work or any other thing but not food, check it out, when not working you’re eating right! so help yourself, you can also replace most junk in your fridge with healthier choices of food.
  8. Beware of liquid calories:this one tend to be forgotten most times as people focus more on food calories but then taken two or three bottles of some kinds of drink supplies you with almost all the calories needed per day.
