Take a hike outside.

Take a hike outside. You will commune with nature while burning lots of
calories. The more challenging you make the hike, the higher the calorie burn.
 Try to reduce your stress. When you're too stressed you will be too tempted to
consume foods that aren't good for you. It can be easier to concentrate on weight
loss goals and stay vigilant if your life is free from stress.
 Pick one day a week or month to cook a large batch of meals, then freeze
individual portions. When your freezer is loaded with nutritious, healthy meal
options, you will be less likely to waste your money--and your diet efforts--on fast
food or carry-out. Bulk cooking also saves you lots of money because you end up
buying everything in bulk then using it all up. This prevents the food from rotting.
 Be aware of things that are advertised as low in calories or fat when you're
looking to lose weight. These products are often smaller sized, more expensive
versions of the same product in a larger container, and are often full of "empty"
calories.
 Once you have had your breakfast, try to stick to water as your beverage of choice
for the rest of the day. Nothing is healthier for you than water as it provides no
calories, fats or sugars and is not counterproductive to your weight loss efforts
like other things you could be reaching for. If you only drink water after your
breakfast, you will be on your way to losing unwanted pounds.
 Eliminate alcohol from your life. A drink here and there is okay, but too much can
make it especially difficult to drop the pounds. Alcoholic beverages are usually

loaded with empty calories. If you're going to drink, try a low calorie version of
the original.
