1. Spend more

The best way of maximum fat loss is by spending more calories than you consume. You may do this by exercising or by under going a work out schedule. You can also do this by lowering the rate of eating food items with high calories in them.

2. Don’t starve

Starvation is a wrong method for losing fat. Healthy fat loss is done by losing only calories. But, starvation and diet loss leads to the deficiency of all the minerals. Instead, the combination of a good workout and a healthy diet may help you loose weight much more efficiently. Though, these methods have slow results, it is always better to go with one of them as you actually secure your future health.

3. Go slow

Don’t go too fast and remove all the items that have calories in your diet. You need to have some patience to loose weight the healthy way. You may cut down on food items with high calorie values and exercise moderately. Exercising too much or starving may lead to nothing but spoiling your daily chores.

4. Check the food

It is extremely necessary that you consume only healthy food while loosing fat. Processed food items are generally not safe to be consumed while on a fat loss. Once you have obtained the results and are satisfied with your body, you may start eating all these food products but in limited amounts.

5. Eat proteins

Increase the intake of proteins in your diet as much as possible. Because, when we cut down on specific food items, our protein intake also lessens. This may lead to protein deficiency in your body which is not at all good for your health. Thus, when you increase your protein consumption, this problem of deficiency is avoided.

6. Train your muscles

Good and nice working muscles help curb fat much faster. Thus, you should also do some exercises to train your muscles and make them work efficiently enough.

7. Hydration

Drinking lot of water is a must while under going a fat loss. Water helps your body from drying up even if you don’t consume food for days. Thus, while you are suffering a calorie loss, drinking a lot of water is a must to keep your body working efficiently and up to the mark.

8. Track your progress

You should keep a track on even the minor goals that you have achieved in your weight loss program. This may help you work with more enthusiasm as you know that you are getting good results.

9. Goals

It is extremely important to set timely goals to be achieved for making the fat loss process faster. The goals may urge you work faster and more efficiently. Achieving those goals may keep you happy and satisfied with the results of your program.

10. Consistency

It is extremely necessary to be consistent while you are on a quick fat loss program. If you skip any of your schedules even for a single day, the results may be postponed by days. Thus, consistency is extremely important while loosing fat.

So, you’re a nerd (or a geek, if you prefer). You spend your life sitting in front of your computer, your TV, or your latest book. You don’t play sports, you don’t go running, hiking or cycling, and the word gym conjures up painful memories from middle school.

And you’ve put on a bit more padding than you’d like.

The problem is, you can’t stand exercise, you don’t want to spend the next 2 months eating cardboard food, and you don’t want to record your every caloric intake with a spreadsheet (though if that idea appeals to you, go for it). What’s a geek to do?

Well, here are some tweaks you can make to your lifestyle that, with a minimum of effort, will help. They won’t take the weight off quickly, but they’ll lower it over time.

And you might be able to keep it off better than someone who goes on a crash diet, because you’re changing your habits, not just making a short-term change.

1. Take the stairs, not the elevator

You have to get there somehow. Take a few extra seconds and get some incidental exercise on the way to work. (If you work on the 47th floor, you can try taking the elevator most of the way, and getting off early.)

2. Walk a bit more, drive a bit less

Instead of hunting for a parking space close to the store, grab one of the many spaces a bit further off. Take 10 minutes to walk down the street to lunch instead of driving. Park the car and walk into the restaurant instead of taking the drive-through. You’ll get a little exercise, and you’ll save a little gas.

3. Cut out sides

If you go to a sandwich shop, just get the sandwich. Skip the chips or potato salad. If you have a burger, skip the fries. If you absolutely have to get some sort of side, make it a side salad or a piece of fruit (if that’s an option), or at least something with intrinsic nutritional value beyond starch and grease.

4. Cut restaurant meals in half

Over the last decade or two, restaurants in the US have become very *ahem* big on portraying value. Look how much food you’re getting for your money! Unless you’re 6 feet tall or physically active, though, you don’t actually need two entire chicken breasts, a cup and a half of rice, and a side of lasagna. I’ve found that at most places, a good rule of thumb is to eat half the meal and take the rest home. (Plus then you have a meal ready to go the next day.)

5. Stop eating when you’re not hungry anymore

I know this sounds simple, but a lot of us had “clean your plate” drilled into us as children. And you’ll probably hit “not hungry” before you hit “full.”

6. Cut down on the soda

I know, you absolutely need that Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew. (Believe me, I know!) But if you can, try to get used to having, say, iced tea with meals. Or drink coffee instead (just don’t sweeten it too much). If you’re out somewhere with a soda fountain, and you can handle diet soft drinks, try mixing the diet cola with something else, to cut down on the sugar.

7. Try to go a step up from fast food

Sure, the dollar menu at Jack in the Box or Taco Bell is cheap, but if you can spare a few more bucks, you might get healthier food at someplace like La Salsa.

8. Find vegetables that you like

You might have to experiment a bit for this. Don’t be afraid to try things you disliked as a child; tastes change as you get older. And don’t forget to try different ways of cooking them. I never liked broccoli when I was younger, and I still don’t like it raw…but steamed, it’s become a staple. (Don’t try to force cauliflower or Brussels sprouts on me, though.)

9. Learn to cook

Home-cooked meals can be tailored to the right size, so you won’t have extra food sitting on your plate with an “eat me” sign. Plus you know exactly what’s going into them, and you won’t need to load it up with extra butter, salt, etc. like restaurants love to do.

10. Keep healthier snacks around

If you know you tend to get hungry half-way through the afternoon, plan ahead so that you don’t find yourself grabbing a candy bar from the vending machine. Bring some fruit, or carrot sticks, or cheese, and keep it in the lunch room. If you find yourself chewing down on a Twix every afternoon, whatever else you do isn’t going to help much.

Sitting all day in the office? no time to workout? the  only thing growing apart from your pocket is your paunch? Read these tips and workout even in your desk!     

1. Eye exercise

To exercise the muscles that move your eyes, roll your eyeballs in wide circles-first in a clockwise direction three times and then counterclockwise three times. Repeat this sequence as desired. Similar to all desk exercises, perform this exercise periodically throughout your work day (i.e., once every 30-60 minutes).

2. Wrist exercise

To exercise your wrist, extend your arms in front of you and raise and lower your hands several times (i.e., flap your hands and wrists up and down). Then rotate your hands 10 times-alternating palms up and palms down. Repeat this sequence five times.

3. Hand and finger exercise

To exercise your hands and fingers, make a fist and hold it tight for approximately two seconds. Then, place your palms down and spread and hold your fingers wide apart for five seconds. Repeat the sequence five times.

4. Shoulder exercise #1

To exercise your shoulders, lift and roll your shoulders forward five times and then backward five times. Use a wide circular motion and try to keep your head straight and motionless while moving your shoulders. Repeat this sequence as desired.

5. Shoulder exercise #2

Another way to exercise your shoulders is to shrug your shoulders up toward your ears. Hold the position for approximately two seconds and then recover to the starting position. Repeat the sequence five times.

6. Upper back and shoulder exercise

To exercise your upper back as well as your shoulders, reach your arms up overhead, alternating right and left arm in a climbing motion. Repeat the sequence 10 times on each side.

7. Lower-back exercise

To exercise the muscles in your lower back while in a seated position, bend down between your knees toward the floor, reaching as far as you can ( palms flat). Hold briefly, then return to the upright position. Make sure your chair is steady first before doing this exercise. Repeat the sequence five times.

8. Hamstring exercise

To stretch your hamstrings while in a seated position, lock your hands together around your knees and pull your knees to your chest and hold for approximately five seconds. then release your hands and return to the starting position. Repeat the sequence five times.

9. Neck exercise #1

To exercise the muscles that rotate, flex and extend your neck, slowly turn your head far to the left and hold for three seconds. Then, turn far to the right and hold for three seconds. Next, drop your chin gently to your chest before returning your head slowly to the upright (starting) position. Repeat the sequence five times.

10. Neck exercise #2

To exercise the muscles that act laterally, slowly lower your left ear to your left shoulder; then return slowly to the upright position. Continue the exercise by touching your right ear to your right shoulder and then returning to the starting (upright) position. Repeat the sequence five times.

1. The Diet

A bestseller in Australia, the Total Wellbeing Diet (TWD) is the result of studies carried out at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, the country& government research laboratory. This eating plan is less contentious than Atkins, simpler to follow than the GI diet and combines the best elements of the two. More important, it promises to help even the most reluctant dieter to shed a stone and a half in 12 weeks. You don’t risk the side effects of energy slumps, headaches, constipation and bad breath, but neither do you go hungry. Experts from the British Dietetic Association give it the thumbs up. The Total Wellbeing Diet by Manny Noakes (Penguin £9.99)

2. The Spa

Clinique La Prairie in Montreux, Switzerland, is best known for its revitalizing technologies (such as injecting clients with live sheep-embryo cells to boost the immune system), but is equally famous for its two-week weight-loss programme. With a private hospital and resident doctors, Clinique La Prairie is consistently voted the world’s best medical spa, but at £8,200 for 13 nights full-board, it is not cheap. However, with the assistance of a personal trainer, a counselor to get you emotionally primed for a thinner body, lymphatic drainage and anticellulite treatments, inch loss is virtually guaranteed. Best of all, you won’t starve there are no drastic detox diets and the low-fat menu is one you will want to continue when you get home. www.laprairie.ch

3. The Drink

Victoria Beckham, Joss Stone and Jerry Hall are said to be among the fans of Pu-erh tea, an ancient Chinese drink first used 1,700 years ago and renowned for its fat-busting properties. Clinical trials in China have shown that three cups a day for a month can lower blood fats by up to 30%. For weight loss, it is recommended that you drink three cups a day for three months, then a cup a day for weight maintenance. From £37, from Harvey Nichols or www.eternalspring.org.uk

4. The Wonder Drug

Satiatrim, a drink that originated in the United States, is now available in the UK. According to Dr Tanya Little, a researcher at the University of Manchester who has conducted several clinical trials on the supplement, it slows the movement of food through the stomach. The result, she says, is that you feel full more quickly, which, in turn, reduces the amount of food consumed in a subsequent meal. A week’s supply of the ready-made drink version costs £35.95 (plus p&p), from www.victoriahealth.com

5. The Holistic Guru

At his London clinic in Wimpole Street, Nish Joshi has used a fusion of ayurvedic principles and orthodox medicine to help the likes of Sadie Frost, Kate Moss and Patsy Kensit to hone their bodies. Last month, he opened his latest venture, the Joshi Clinic Wellness Centre, in Marylebone, for those seeking the ultimate overhaul. Sign up for a weight-loss programme, and you will undergo a detailed tongue and dietary analysis to check for inadequacies in your current diet, prior to being given a tailored schedule of exercise, nutrition and treatments. Further wellness centers are planned in the UK, as well as New York and Dubai. Membership costs from £95 per month. For details, call 020 7723 2444 or visit www.thejoshiclinic.com

6. The Exercise

Interval training is an exercise technique that gym-goers have used for years to improve cardiovascular fitness. But this summer, researchers at the University of Guelph, in Canada, proved that one hour of interval training (that alternating fast-paced running, swimming or cycling with a slower-paced activity) at least once a week increased fat burning by 36%. If you want something more cutting edge, try lifting Russian kettle bells. Geri Halliwell got rid of her mummy tummy by working out with these cannonballs with handles, which range in size from 8kg to 40kg. Swing and lift them in a variety of ways to use every muscle in the body; the manufacturers claim you can burn up to 1,500 calories an hour. Trainers recommend working with them for one hour, three times a week. Kettle bells cost from £35, from www.optimallifefitness.com

7. The Fashionist Diet Doctor

8. The Diet Book

Jessica Simpson, Eva Mendes and Alicia Keys are among the celebrities who currently have their noses buried in The 5- Factor Diet, a book by the personal trainer Harley Pasternak. The five comes not only from the number of food types each meal should include protein, complex carbs, fiber, fat and fluids but also from the five meals a day she recommends you eat, using recipes containing no more than five ingredients, which take no more than five minutes to prepare and five minutes to cook. There is also a five-day exercise plan consisting of  guess what? five exercises you perform for five minutes each. It sounds faddy, but independent nutritionists from the American Dietetic Association have given it their approval. The 5-Factor Diet (Meredith Books £12.19). For more information and to buy the book, visit www.5factordiet.com

9. The Treatment

There are few spa treatments that will dramatically whittle away pounds from your waistline and hips, but the Elemis Body Sculpting Cellulite and Colon Therapy comes close. If you are hoping to look a little slimmer by next month, then this detoxifying fennel-and-birch peel-off body mask, combined with specialist massage techniques that encourage blood flow and help break down fat cells, could shave off a couple of inches. In independent tests, 96% of women experienced significant improvements on the tape-measure front, having undergone the recommended twice-weekly sessions over four weeks. The treatment costs £90 an hour; www.timetospa.co.uk

10. The Pre-Diet Detox

When Madonna and Beyoncé want to lose a few extra pounds or kick-start a diet, they reportedly embark on the lemon detox, which involves knocking back glassfuls of Madal Bal natural tree syrup. It is formulated from four different Asian palm syrups that are rich in essential minerals; you mix it with the juice of freshly squeezed lemons and a pinch of cayenne pepper. During the five- to 10-day fast, it is recommended that no food is consumed, although those who find it too tough can have one meal a day. Expect to lose up to 2lb a day (Beyoncé reportedly lost 22lb in 10 days), some of which may be regained when you embark on a healthy diet. Nutritionist Amanda Griggs, of the fashionable Balance clinic on the King’s Road in London, and Dr Elizabeth Adalian, lecturer at the Centre for Homeopathic Education in London, are among the experts who support the plan. More than half a million liters of the syrup is sold across 33 countries every year. One litre costs £39.99. For information and stockists, visit www.lemondetox.com, or call 0845 370 1012 for mail order.

Always consult your GP before embarking on a new diet

Let me state from the “get go”…I am not a fitness expert, just a guy who likes to workout and do so with an eye towards “functionality”. Refer to your coach/doctor/priest/life counselor/whatever… before trying anything I may suggest here.

I’m not the biggest, strongest, fastest, fittest, etc. guy in the world, but I have been able to maintain a level of fitness that has allowed me to “hang” with a respectable crowd in Army Basic, PLDC, Police Academy, SWAT School, FBINA, 5k’s and other competitions and physical tests.

The bulk of my training centers around running, weight training and CrossFit style GPP workouts. Sometimes I have to chase suspects and that’s usually wearing a ton of crap, the end of which sometimes results in having to struggle with people (GPP/CrossFit). I add in jogging and a 5X5 weight lifting program for a simple base of strength and fitness to support my other goals.

Sometimes I like to throw in oddball stuff as a challenge or just as a way to test myself in a manner different from what my body is getting used to…because in the end “training” can only approximate “reality” just so much. Its good to have an “eye opener” every once and a while to keep yourself honest and realize that you are not as fit or well trained as you may think you are. Some of these were just “try it” workouts, some I did for a “Cycle” (I cycle my workouts on a seasonal basis) and some I do all the time.

These are 10 such workouts –

1. Get out and push

Pushing and pulling a vehicle in neutral across a parking lot is a great overall body workout and an intense cardio effort. Be ready to waive off do gooders who think you are broken down.

2. Escape from New York (or wherever)

Here’s another one that is sure to get some strange looks. Find a fence and jump, climb, hurdle it. Then jump back over again. To really add a challenge, take a pack/duffel or sandbag and throw it over. Jump the fence…then throw it back over again. Repeat.

3. Go ahead and flip out

Find a big truck or tractor tire (w/o the rim knucklehead) and lay it flat. With good lifting form, squat down and pick up one side and flip that sucker over in an explosive, powerful move. To add to this one, flip it…jump into the middle…jump out the other side…turn around and flip it again…repeat.

4. Kettle bells are not musical instruments

They are an old Russian torture device that can give you one hell of a workout. That’s a picture of mine above. There’s way too many things you can do with them than I can cover here. Go Google it.

5. I am with the sub-urban commando squad

I load up a rucksack and hump it a few miles through town every once and a while. Do it often enough and you will discover that many of your friends and co-workers drive through your town and start to wonder how well they really know you. Do at your own risk. If you do something stupid this can lead to joint injuries and other such inconveniences.

6. "Ouch! Babe"

The 100 Burpee workout will show you that your own body is all the equipment you will need to kick your own ass.

7. Feeling felon

This one may just get you tackled by a cop if you are stupid about it, but if you have a place to play “grown up tag” where the neighbors wont call 911 when they see you, give this a shot. Give your partner a head start then try and tag him. Jump fences, hurdle ditches, break a leg…I probably would if I did it too often. I used to do this with my friends “back in the day”. It’s as “functional” as you can get.

8. Working on the chain gang

Take that same tire from above and add a sledgehammer. Stand on the tire or next to it and slam away. Be sure to alternate grips to get an even workout…and watch your feet.

9. Sled dog

Fashion a harness and attach it to a cheap plastic sled. Put some weight plates in it and do some sprints. You may have to fashion a way to keep the plates in the sled.

10. Grass drills

Like my Drill Sergeant used to tell me… “GO SMOKE YOURSELF PRIVATE!!!” Get someone to give you orders for a set period of time: GO=High step run in place, STOP=Drop into a 3 point stance, BACK=Flip or drop to your back, FRONT=Flip or drop to your belly. Add to these basic commands things like PUSH UPS, SIT-UPs, BURPEES, BEAR CRAWL, SPRINT (out and back), ROLL LEFT, ROLL RIGHT…the imagination is the limit, my Drill Sgt. Once had us pick up the person behind us and run around the company training area with him over our shoulder.

Most of us believe that age related diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, adult onset diabetes, stroke, cancer, etc are the inevitable consequences of aging, but we are now finding out that this is not necessarily true. We actually have a lot more control over how we age than you might think. Healthy aging is mainly the result of how we “communicate” with our genes — through our diet, our lifestyle and the environment we bathe them in. Healthy habits nurture healthy genes.

When most of us think of genes, we think of the ones that determine particular characteristics such as whether we have brown hair, blue eyes or long legs, or those that predict specific childhood diseases. These genes are “fixed”, but are only few in number. By far the vast majority are the thousands of genes that direct all of our biochemical processes and that render us susceptible to the many chronic diseases so many people are experiencing today.

While we are each born with a set of genes — a baseline set of conditions which we can’t change — we can change how they are expressed. This means that most genes in and of themselves do not create disease. Rather, the likelihood of developing disease and disability is determined by the way we live our lives and by the choices we make. You may have the genes for and be susceptible to heart disease or diabetes or arthritis, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you will get those diseases. In other words, these genes do not cause disease per se unless they are thrust into a detrimental environment, one conducive to expressing these genes as chronic disease.

There are multiple factors in your diet, environment and lifestyle that affect your genes and how you age. Many of these are within your control. Of all the factors, diet is the easiest to control and probably the most important determinant of how our genes are expressed.

A revolutionary new science, Nutrigenomics, is showing how different foods may interact with specific genes, how food “talks” to our genes and how our genes express themselves after the conversation. It is confirming that food provides potent dietary signals that directly influence the metabolic programming of our cells and modify the risk of common chronic diseases. It is telling us that food is information, that it contains “instructions” which are communicated directly to our genes.

Armed with this information, your genes commandeer various metabolic actions and affect millions of critical biological processes, including cholesterol levels, aging, hormone regulation, weight gain and loss, and much more. Eat the right foods and they will send instructions to your genes for good health. Eating the wrong foods however, sends messages for disease.

What we are finding out is that there is so much more to food than just the nutrients we have discovered thus far. Real food is packed with thousands of compounds which have a complex and dynamic relationship with one another and your genes. With processed foods however, these micronutrients have either been altered or are missing, and therefore they can never deliver the same beneficial messages to your genes. Just as a computer program won’t function well when it gets fed bad data, neither will your body. Once you understand that food is “data” or complex information that the body uses to direct the multifaceted actions that keep us vibrantly alive, it’s easy to understand that loading up on junk food is like taking the fast lane to a giant system failure.

Foods loaded with sugar, trans fats and chemicals, and foods processed beyond recognition, are simply “bad data” for human consumption. I call these “food-like substances” because they are not real food. If you eat these regularly, your body stops working properly.

It makes perfect sense, when you think about it. When you bathe your genes in an unhealthy environment, like the one created when you eat junk food, your genes “miscue” metabolic actions that can trigger disease. For example your body responds to “food-like substances” as if they are “foreign bodies”. This prompts an inflammatory response as your body tries to protect itself. Over time, continued consumption can lead to the development of a low grade chronic inflammatory condition which is now becoming recognized as an important precursor to a variety of more serious forms of illness.

Bottom line: the food you eat affects the functioning of your genes.

Here are 10 ways to improve the “conversation”.

1. Eat real food i.e. fresh, whole, unrefined and unprocessed food

Food is more than a delivery system for nutrients containing protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Real food is more than the sum of its parts, it’s about how it all works together, about the integrity of the information or the total message. Although you should know how to read food labels, most real food does not come with a label …vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, wild fish, organic chicken and eggs etc.

2. Be close to nature

Although there is no one right diet for everyone (as we are all different), try eat as close to nature as possible because the further removed food is from its source the less good data it will contain, and the more likely it is of being a “food-like substance” and not real food.

3. Select fruits and vegetables in a wide variety of colors

4. Buy fresh

Buy fresh foods whenever you can, preferably organic and locally grown if possible. Fresh foods are better than frozen foods, which are better than canned foods.

5. Stop eating when you are 80% full

6. Be skeptical of foods that come individually labeled with a health claim

Most healthy foods don’t need a health claim. Have you ever seen a health claim on a bunch of broccoli or on a box of blueberries?

7. Be wary of foods you’ve seen advertised as the vast majority of these are processed foods

8. Be careful of obsessive calorie counting

Figuring your diet simply in terms of calories or even percentages of protein, fat and carbohydrate, can inadvertently deprive your body of the “complete” messages that real, whole foods provide .

9. Enjoy your food, preferably in the company of people you love

10. Don’t waste your time feeling guilty if you ate the “wrong” thing

As part of a healthy food diet, we should drink about eight cups of water a day. But when you’re used to drinking pop by the gallons and coffee loaded with sugar and cream, plain water can be very boring – and it’s hard getting it down.

Here are a few ideas on how to make water more interesting so you can drink lots and stay healthy.

1. Buy bottles of water and keep them chilled in your refrigerator

Believe it or not, your mind will treat water in a glass as boring and make it difficult to drink. But from a water bottle it is not only easier to swallow, but your mind treats it as a drink and not just water.

2. Delicious fruit slushy

Crush a couple trays of ice cubes in a blender along with four or five strawberries or half a cup of raspberries and enjoy a delicious fruit slushy. You can use any flesh fruit or combination and get really creative.

3. Herbal teas

Enjoy the many flavors of herbal teas and benefit from their nutritional values while taking in your daily water quota. There are flavors to suit every preference and most of them taste so great that you don’t need to add a sweetener. They also quench your hunger and can aid in losing weight.

4. Lemon juice

Add a capful of pure lemon juice to a one-liter bottle of water and get a refreshing and thirst quenching drink. You can drink it down easily and its slightly tart flavor tastes great. Lemon juice is a great way to help keep your cholesterol levels in line.

5. Make Popsicles

by adding some pure fruit juice to a jug of water Pour the mixture into either Popsicle trays or ice cube trays and then freeze them. It will be really easy getting your water quota when you’re chomping on these instead of a calorie snack while enjoying your movie.

6. Diet jello

It makes a great calorie-free desert while at the same time adding to your water intake. This is another way that you can really enjoy your water.

7. Coffee

is always a great way to enjoy drinking water. You can deck it out with sugar and cream or drink it black or add your favorite incentive.

8. Plain ice cubes

are everyone’s favorite crunch snack and a great way to build up your water supply for the day. There are no calories and it’s really inexpensive.

9. Pure fruit juice

is a tasty and nutritional drink that not only meets your daily dietary needs but also adds to your water intake.

10. Hot chocolate

is everyone’s favorite hot drink in winter and it’s a perfect way to add to your daily water intake. Dress it up with marshmallows or drink it plain but either way it’s another way of drinking water.

So you see, there are lots of ways to enjoy water besides drinking it plain – and really no reason to fall short of your daily requirement. Enjoy!

Your boyfriend has gained some weight and you don’t know how to tell him that it would be better for him to give up pizza and beer. Well, we prepared you 10 ways to say it without breaking his heart. Are you ready? Attack!

You can’t just cross your arms and announce him loudly that he gained weight and that you’re leaving him in 3 months if he doesn’t do something about. Well, theoretically you can, but we know that you’re too elegant to do it (I think). So, here are 10…sensitive ways to express your opinion about his new belly.

1. Buy clothes with a few sizes smaller

After he tries them and obvious, he discovers that the clothes are too small, tell him surprised "Oh, I’m sorry, but 5 months ago you were wearing a size M! What happened? Maybe we can took it to a tailor and make some adjustments. It will look somehow weird, but it’s all right, isn’t it?"

He will surely feel strange and do something about. If not, you should insist and go on the next tip.

2. Offer him a subscription to the classes of a famous coach

He won’t accept fitness classes, but if he knows that you spent a considerable amount of money on that class, he will be forced to participate, whether he wants it or not.

3. Establish a weight loss program for two

Tell him initially that you want to create a weight loss program only for you, but ask him to weigh himself, as a game. When the needle will indicate a weight above the normal one, you should say: "Very well, you’ll be included in my program!"

4. Give him small portions of food

Does he want to eat 3 meals for dinner? That’s fine, but no more than 200 grams of food! If he wants more, remind him that a few months ago he wasn’t eating so much. There is no need to not serve him; just be polite, give him food, but always mention about how much he eats!

5. Improve the weight loss diet for couples

Are you both eating unhealthy? Then you should gradually change the family’s eating habits. If he won’t have temptations near him, maybe he will succeed to loose weight faster.

6. Pinch and gather

Play with his belly and pinch the adipose tissue, even if he says he likes it; the truth may be different. He will become conscious about his extra pounds and maybe he will start doing something about.

7. Ask him to wear a T-shirt/ shirt that he was wearing some time ago

Remind him about "that" T-shirt, which he worn at your first date; if he doesn’t find it, help him to search better, and if he no longer fits in it…tell him that he gained weight.

8. Break the chair

Well, here you need dexterity. Remove a few screws, as your partner has to break the chair (accidentally, of course) when he sits on sit. He will surely get worried!

9. Add some testimonials

Place some pictures with him around the house, living memories of that "x" pounds that he was having just a few months/ years ago. When he will face the proofs, he will understand the message.

10. On the sunny beach

Your holiday destination should be a tropical one. Before leaving, take him to a pool and ask him to undress in public, as he will be too timid to do it; as a result, he will try to loose weight in order to look hot on holiday.

Good luck!!

So, you finally decided that it’s high time to get rid of your "till now" best friend…FAT!!! Dieting? can you handle it? Most people call it starving!!! So how can you loose weight without getting starved?  

1. Physical activity is a must
