How to Lose Weight in 10 Days at Home

 Weight Loss in 10 days
 
Do you have a party or your cousin wedding to attain sooner?
Whatever the reason may be to lose your weight quickly, you just need to be regular with your diet plan and exercise. It doesn’t matter how hard you’re working on your diet plan and in the gym. If you aren’t getting there on a regular basis, you aren’t going to see results.

There are many programs available in the market that helps you to lose your weight in lesser days. But I think rather than spending money different programs, why not try something at home.

Here are tips to lose weight in 10 days at home

Go Vegetarian
For most of them it’s the difficult think to be vegetarian but why not try it for just 10 day. By having fresh vegetable and fruits you consume less calories as compared to egg or meat.
 

Drink Water to Lose Weight
Drink at least eight glass of water every day. This will help you reduce weight because water has electrolytes that help in the process of burning fat. If you hate water try added lime or having juice. You can also drink 1 to 2 glasses of water before your meal.
Its being found that drinking water before each meal resulted in greater weight loss.   

Avoid food containing fats
Snacks like chips, wafers basically all oily stuff. Stay away from chocolates. Start having homemade foods like chapattis, brown rice, whole-grain pasta and delicious vegetable soups.

Exercise regularly
You should be regular with your daily exercise. Morning excises are more likely to be helpful. You can also try something like going out with friends for cycling or jog. Joining any class like dance or swimming which will help you to burn large amount of calories from your body.

Motivation
Motivate yourself by keeping track on food you eat. Make an appointment book which will remind you to do your work on time. Plan your day before you start.

Weight Loss Secrets

Weight loss secrets 

Many Countries from all over the world have their own secrets behind weight loss


“When your food is overly spicy, it slows down your eating and you eat less”

Thai food is mostly spicy in taste. If you notice that the food is too spicy, you end up eating less food and drink more water with your meal. Normally by doing this you are almost full and done with your food as you fill up quicker with water.


 
"Fiber helps you fill up more quickly and full feel longer"

In South America mainly Brazilians have rice and beans at almost every meal. The good thing is that their rice and beans are not fired so they consume high level of fiber in it.
By having rice and beans together you get a lot of fibers in your body that means it lowers the risk of becoming overweight as much as 20 %.  


"Eating slowly you consume less calories"

In Asia the Japanese People have fish with vegetables and fruits. These people have their meal slowly and usually have their food in small portions. They prepared most of their foods by steaming. When we eat food slowly in relaxing surroundings, we experience more flavors and aromas.
