Lack of activity and just eating too much of the junk foods are the major reasons for your weight gain. So if you want to lose it, start taking care of yourself. Below are 5 ways on how to lose weight now -

1. Shop smart and cruise the perimeter. To avoid any temptations, the best thing to do is to shop within the fresh produce area. Fill your trolley in the fruit and vegetable section before visiting the packaged foods aisles (and if you can just avoid it to resist any temptation). And try to include organic or wholemeal products in your trolley.

2. Divide your plate - Fill half of it with non starchy vegetables (like broccoli, carrots or lettuce), a quarter with protein (tofu, lean beef, chicken or fish).

3. To lower your body fat naturally you must change the way you eat to one that is low in saturated fats and follows general healthy eating guidelines. This is what you need to do: - Use a variety of oils like canola, sunflower, soybean, olive and peanut; Choose low or reduced fat milk and yogurt or ‘added calcium’ soy products; Try to cut down or limit cheese and ice cream; Eat fish twice a week; Choose lean meat (trimmed of fat, chicken without skin); Cut down on fatty meats like sausages; Snack on plain, unsalted nuts and fruit; Make vegetables and grain based foods such as cereals, bread, pasta and rice the major part of each meal; Limit take away foods to once a week; Limit cakes, pastries and chocolate or creamy biscuits to once a week; Incorporate dried peas (split peas), dried beans (haricot beans, kidney beans), canned beans (baked beans) or lentils into two meals a week.

4. Don’t shop hungry - Never plan healthy dinner with a newly purchased ingredient afterwards. Why? Because a rumbling stomach makes everything look good. It’s no accident that supermarkets keep barbecued chickens going round on spits in delicatessen sections all day - research confirms that the smell tempts shoppers to spend more. Similarly, don’t shop when you’re feeling stressed, because you’re more vulnerable to buying treats and comfort foods. Eat an apple or a protein bar before you hit the aisles to help you make more rational choices.

5. Before setting a goal, consider the extent to which you can increase your physical activity in a sustainable way, and the kinds of dietary changes you can take with over the long haul. Your habits are critical to what you can achieve with weight control, and whether you can sustain it. This is the key to making it manageable.

The key point here is - healthy eating combined with a regular workout routine will help you slash your body fat. Now this is how to lose weight in 3 weeks.
