Keep a Glass of Water Next to You

Keep a Glass of Water Next to You Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, eliminate toxins and get rid of the bloat. If you keep a glass of water next to you at all times you will be reminded to drink. And you will not be drinking water later in the day and interrupting sleep with unexpected bathroom breaks. So drink to your health, weight and aiding your digestive system.

2

Do Not Skip Meals

Do Not Skip Meals Skipping meals will cause you to have mood swings, slow down your metabolism and feel all out of sorts. So stop skipping meals and then eating like a line-backer later. If you eat mini meals you will have more energy and never feel hungry again. And the bonus is that you will boost your metabolism!

Jog Wherever You Go

Jog Wherever You Go The two block walk to your car can be a total waste of possible energy expended, so push yourself and jog to your car.

So go ahead and make every moment matter by developing healthy fitness rituals each day!

Graze but Don’t Gorge

Graze but Don’t Gorge Graze at meal times rather than gorge. Eat on a salad plate because dinner plates are way too big. If you stick to portion control regularly your body will have less to digest as a time, causing your metabolic rate to fly high. And you will begin to see amazing results in your body so make this part of your daily ritual!

Get to Bed Earlier

Get to Bed Earlier Getting to bed earlier is not always easy, especially if you have a busy life that seems to go nonstop all day. But getting to bed earlier will allow you time to catch plenty of zzzs and your body to recover from the day. If you want your body to perform at its best, sleep is ultra-important. So aim for 7-9 hours of sleep every night!

Don't Snack at Night

performance, stage, singing, music, nightclub, We all get tempted to plop down in bed or on the couch with a bag of chips or popcorn after a long day-don't. Late night snacking causes your body to poorly digest and use the food which in turn causes weight gain.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

, When it comes to our lives, it seems stress rules it all. Find something you enjoy or a friend to have a daily laugh chat with. Not only does it decrease levels of cortisol in the body which actually promotes weight gain, but studies on laughter have shown that one hour of intense laughter burns 120 calories.

10

Treat Snacks as Meals

hair, person, beauty, hairstyle, brown hair, Every diet plan shows eating 5 small meals a day. This is key to weight loss because it makes sure your body has a constant source of food coming in for energy, preventing the body from storing it like when it goes in starvation mode. Snacks may not seem like a big deal, but they add up to high calories when you aren't eating the right stuff. Treat your snacks as mini meals and make sure you're fueling your body in between main meals to help lose weight.

With these everyday rituals you will slim down, shape up and feel incredible. Life is all about choices so choose to better your health each and every day! I promise you will be glad that you did!

@Cilan you really don't need to be scared about that! To build muscle mass you need to eat more calories than you burn, and I mean a lot more, while still doing weight training...

exactly what I needed!

What I really wonder is I want to have slimmer body but not muscular or a big butt. I have fat to burn but I'm scared that it will go to muscles
