Worse still, one of the health consequences of this is - you gain weight and inches around your belly before you know it! This is totally contrary to what people have been telling you - "you can work anytime you want", "you have more time to do the things you like", "you will have time to exercise everyday", etc. Well, after working from home for over a year, I realized that is not the case. At least NOT YET. ;)

Now, Christmas is approaching, very soon in fact. What can us a bunch of work-from-homes do to lose weight fast before Christmas, so that we would look better than we are today by Christmas?

Simple rules to lose weight before Christmas 

Here are some general rules to follow when you want to lose weight fast.

1. Set a realistic weight loss goal. It is impossible to lose 10 kilograms in 4 weeks, but losing 2-3 kilograms is achievable. Setting a goal too high may set you for failure and discouragement.

2. Fast weight loss comprises a multi-faceted approach combining a healthy diet plan, regular exercise, and perhaps the help of diet supplements in some cases.

3. Eat more fibres as it helps you to feel satiated sooner and it stays in the stomach longer, slowing down the rate of digestion.

It's about knowing what your body needs; what to eat and what not to eat.



4. Stay away from fried foods, especially deep-fried ones, to significantly cut down the amount of fat in your diet. Opt for grilled food instead. When eating chicken, remove the skin which usually has lots of fats hidden underneath.

5. Drink lots of fluid - at least 8 glasses of water (not Coke, not coffee, not beer!) daily to keep your body refreshed. Because weight loss depends on how the body eliminates waste inside it, it is important your body stay hydrated all the time.

6. Listen to your body. If you are losing weight the right way, your body will feel comfortable about it. For example, if rigorous exercise is not suitable for your body and level of fitness, do other things like brisk-walking, dancing, swimming, etc. Do activities you enjoy doing and that your body can accept, as long as you do it consistently.

Increase your metabolism to lose weight quickly 

If you want to lose weight fast, one thing you need to do is to increase your metabolism. The higher your metabolism rate, the more calories are burnt.

Below are some general tips to help increase your metabolism.
  1. Move, move, move! That means to get yourself physically active. As you move more, you burn more calories. Cut down your TV hours, stay away from the couch as much as you could. Do gardening, or even simple house chores will make your body feel more active and less sluggish. Instead of taking a ride to a nearby shop, walk there. When you are at work, take the stairs instead of the elevator to reach your office.
  2. Simply sleep well at night and feel revived every morning you wake up. Why? Because according to studies, people who have 4 hours of sleep at night have slower metabolism than those who have 8 hours. Mind you, when you don't get a good night sleep, you are most likely to end up overeating the next day to cover up the lack of sleep. (You'll feel like you need the 'extra' energy from food to keep you alive!)
  3. Exercise and sweat out a bit, particularly in the evening. There is recent research showing that the our metabolism tends to slow down during late in the afternoon or at the end of the day. So, in order for you to continue to burn calories throughout the day, it is wise to do some exercise (e.g. evening walks) to allow you to sweat it out and burn calories. Moreover, it will help you to sleep better at night, which in turn helps to increase your metabolism.
  4. Do not skip meals. Because whenever you do, your body would react to it such that it will slow down its metabolic rate.
