Lose Weight by Thanksgiving Without Going to the Gym

Want to lose weight by Thanksgiving without going to the gym? You can accomplish this goal by changing a few habits. Start now and see results within 30 days. Do:

1. Eat yogurt.
The bacterium in yogurt helps regulate your digestive system. Consume this delicious treat for your lunch or breakfast and release some of the build up in your bowels. Try Dannon's blueberry Light & Fit. This yogurt will tantalize your taste buds for just around 80 calories.

2. Drink water.
Yes, you've heard this over and over again, but drinking water can help you lose weight. Make 8, 8-ounce glasses of this liquid a part of your diet and by Thanksgiving, without going to the gym, you'll shed a few pounds. Water will flush out all of the toxins in your body that keep you bloated and sick.

3. Consume snacks.
Don't focus on eating only 3 meals a day. Snack. People who eat small five meals a day, which include small snacks of healthy food like cheese and fruit, stay slim. Why? Their metabolism never slows down and as a result they don't gain weight.

4- Take the stairs.
Hate to exercise. Lose weight by Thanksgiving without going to the gym by taking the stairs. Walking up and down the stairs at work builds your leg muscles and elevates your heartbeat. As a consequence, you look smaller because you're more tone and your body gets slimmer.

5- Go for low fat.
Rid yourself of a few extra calories and pounds by trading out high-fat foods for low-fat ones. You can still put cheese on your homemade burger, but go for the low-fat product. Also, keep this in mind when you pick out a few of your desserts too.

6- Carry your own bags.
After you go grocery shopping, carry your own bags. You can lose weight by Thanksgiving without going to the gym by making this a habit. Big cans build arm muscles and make you burn energy. Do this regularly and after a while you'll begin sporting a Michelle Obama look.

7- Park further away.
Give your legs a workout every day by parking far away from whatever building you're going into. A five-minute stroll two times a day or more adds up. After 3 weeks, you'll be less out of breath, healthier and smaller in size.

Ready to strut your stuff on Turkey day? Start doing the above 7 things now and you'll be a sleeker you by the time your relatives reach your home.
