Water: Since water is calorie free, it is obviously linked to weight loss. A study showed that middle-aged overweight people who drank water before each meal lost 44% of weight comparing to those who skipped this step. Actually adding 1 cup of water reduces your weight gain by 0.13 kg.

Also drinking water before meals contributes to a significant appetite  reduction. Thus to achieve a fast weight loss you may

  • Drink between 250mL and 500 mL as soon as you get up and 20 to 30 minutes before each meal.
  • Drink between 100mL and 250mL after every cup of coffee or tea.
  • Drink from 300mL to 600mL 2 hours before going to bed.


Sleep more: If you think about losing your weight you must maintain a specific nutrition plan but did you think about you bedtime too?  Adequate sleep is also a part of your life style, it effects your health, weight, mind and psychology. There is a strong connection  between sleep and diet. Actually the more you sleep the less you eat and the much pounds you lose. Try to have proper amounts of good and deep sleep (between 7 to 9 hours per night). When your body get its proper rest more calories and fats will be lost in contrast lack of sleep will push you to the direction of food and non stop eating. As a result, for a better health you should prioritize sleep.


Workouts: You can fail so many times not because it  was difficult or hard but because you didn’t do it the right way. Here is three common mistakes that beginners make in order to get a shaped body: 

Working out for too long:  when you start working out your body is not used to support that much of stress. You can begin with 30 to 60 min per day. starting with compound exercises  and ending with isolation movements.

Adopt your own workout routine: Do not copy someone else routine, although you think it is a good start but remember you want to move on your week points and shed your weight and not to be your partner.

Not feeding your muscle after workouts due to fear of gaining fat is a common mistake. Remember it is really important to eat fast assimilating protein food after exercising and don’t let yourself starving.
