WAYS OF LOSING WEIGHT
1).Sleep 30 Minutes More a Night
That extra half an hour, whether you sleep 5 hours or 8, can refresh you enough that you will make better food choices (in other words, no quick sugar fix for breakfast in search of energy) and won't feel lethargic and skip the gym, says registered dietician Esther Blum, author of Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous. More restful sleep (7 to 8 hours is best) also boosts your metabolism.
2). Drink Mainly Water
A sports or energy drink , fruit smoothie or light beer-each serving contains about 100 calories . Yet these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100 calories of food does , so they're a waste.
3).Snack on a small handful of nuts
Studies have found that overweight people who ate a moderate fat diet containing almonds lost more weight than a control group that didn't eat nuts.
4).Walk five minutes for at least every two hours
A brisk five-minute walk every two hours will parlay into an extra 20 minute walk by the end of the day . And getting a break will make you less likely to reach for snacks out of antsiness .
5). Eat cereal for breakfast five days a week.
Studies find that people who eat cereal for breakfast every day are significantly less likely to be obese and have diabetes than those who don’t. They also consume more fiber and calcium and less fat than those who eat other breakfast foods.

PROBABLE RISK OF LOSING WEIGHT
Water Imbalance

Common Reasons
How and why did it happen?
Well ain't that a million dollar question? So how did anyone come to this point? First of
all understanding the types of problems associating with "weight
gaining" is a good start. Here are some examples.
There are many reasons why one would gain weight. Some are weird, some are justifiable, and some are just from plain ignorance. Let me just list down some of the general issues pertaining the reasons above.
- Depressed - According to one study in 2010 published in the American Journal of Public Health found that people who feel sad and lonely gain weight more quickly than those who report fewer depression-related symptoms. "They may be eating more high-fat, high-calorie comfort foods," says Belinda Needham, assistant professor in the department of sociology at UAB and the lead author of the study. "Or they may have [cut back their] physical activity." Many anti-depressant medication prescribed by even your local psychiatrist could add in to this cause.
- Metabolism / Getting older - This is probably the most common phenomenon that is happening of will happen to anyone. And sadly it is unavoidable, though some people have naturally good and sustaining metabolism that last way much longer then the majority.
- Overeating - The most easiest way to gain weight from and the easiest to avoid. Well, either way some people are born never to gain any weight no matter what they eat! Haha! But that's entirely genetics. But the question still remains, why do people still do it and if it's that easy to stop or avoid, why don't one just do it? It may sometimes be a little bit complicated.
Why Should I?
So a general question almost everyone asks themselves at some point in their lives, why? Well, there could be a thousand and one reason why one should loose weight, but let's just keep it simple!
- You will be healthier.
- You'll in some way or another have better self esteem and confidence.
- Daily activities will just be better and less stressful, even breathing!
- You generally want to look better.
