Do you feel you are overweight and the gym is not your thing? Don’t worry, here are some of the things to do to reduce your weight without hitting the gym.

Remember skipping breakfast or any meal will not help you lose weight, just miss on essential nutrients that you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry.

Eat plenty of fruit and veges- they are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.

Drink plenty of water- People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need.

Eat regular meals- Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar.

Do not ban foods- Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. A little but banned foods taste delicious and will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within

Do not stock junk food- opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice, Instead, chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks at home.

Plan your meals-Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.

Remember this procedure needs you to be disciplined. You don’t have to sweat and stay for long hour in the gym. A little bit of exercise is good, like morning run to start you day well.
