How to Lose Weight for People With Desk Jobs



  • 1

    Eat breakfast. If you work all day, you might be tempted to skip breakfast in exchange for a few extra minutes of sleep. Unfortunately, skipping breakfast is a fast way to pack on the pounds. (See Reference 1) By skipping breakfast, you are more likely to feel sluggish during the day and overindulge at lunch and dinner. Have a balanced and healthy breakfast to set the tone for the workday.

  • 2

    Eat small, frequent, healthy meals and snacks. Eating several small meals throughout the day helps keep your metabolism working throughout the day, which will help you lose weight even if you sit at a desk all day. Make healthy choices and always include lean protein and fiber in each meal and snack.

  • 3

    Remove food distractions such as candy jars from your desk. If you have a jar of candy staring at you all day, you are likely to give in to temptation. Remove any unhealthy snacks from your office or desk and replace them with healthy snacks such as nuts, fruit or carrots.

  • 4

    Do desk exercises. Just because you're at a desk all day doesn't mean you can't get a little exercise in while you work. There are several exercises you can do at your desk while you work, such as butt clenches and abdominal squeezes. (See Reference 2)

  • 5

    Walk during lunch. After you have eaten, use your remaining lunch break to take a brisk walk. Speed walking not only burns calories, but it also helps keep your energy up for the rest of the workday.

  • 6

    Increase your water intake. Consuming water during the day will help you to lose weight, stay hydrated and improve the appearance of your skin.




  • Busy women can still lose weight

    Women now a days lead a very busy life. They have to look after their career, family, and kids and this does not leave them any free time to take care about their self not mention that there is no spare time for exercise and fitness. In this hectic lifestyle they look for ways to stay fit and lose weight and turn to readymade delivered healthy meals to find the solution but this is not enough. Losing weight is much more than eating healthy meals, it is about planning, devotion and willpower to reach a goal that is not easy to get if you are not willing to do the sacrifices that it takes.

    busy-women-can-lose-weight-1

    Before losing your hopes, beware – there are still a lot of ways for busy women to lose weight. Whether you are working long hours or have to spend all your day looking after the house and the kids there are a number of weight loss tips that can help you get through this difficult and daunting process, the process that will make you look good but most importantly feel good.

    Step 1: Do not start your day making weight loss pitfalls

    weight loss

    The majority of people skip breakfast because they do not have enough time in the morning to sit down and eat and because they think that by doing so they save calories and help their weight loss efforts. Well, the majority of people are wrong. Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight; on the contrary it will create 2 negative effects to your efforts. First it can slow down your metabolism and second it is proven that people who do not eat breakfast consume more calories during their other meals.

    So, what can you do if you either do not have time to eat in the morning or you are not feeling hungry? You can start by eating something that you like (a fruit or energy bar) on your way to work, you can wake up 10 minutes earlier to create that extra time you need to have a bowl of cereals or you can combine the two i.e. eat an apple while you are preparing for work and have your cereals after you arrive at work. The solutions are simple all you need is determination from your part to set a plan and follow it.

    Step 2: Enjoy your meals without interruptions

    apple grapes

    A few years back scientists discovered that it takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive the signal of fullness from the stomach. This means that if you eat in a hurry and probably in less than 20 minutes, you will consume more calories than needed because your brain will not be in position to signal the ‘stop’ sign to the stomach. What you need to do is devote at least 30 minutes per day for your launch time and ensure that during this time the only thing that you will do is enjoying your meal and nothing else. Eat slowly and feel every crunch and give enough time to your body to process the food. This is a healthy habit that once you get used to it you will realize its benefits.

    Step 3: Protect yourself from foods temptations

    busy-women-can-lose-weight-2

    If you are working in an office with a lot of people then it is very common to get invitations for treats. One day is someone’s birthday, the other day someone got promoted and so on…These are invitations you cannot refuse but you can resist the temptations. A nice tip that can help you stay away is drinking a class of water before going for the treat. Water can fill up your stomach and reduce your appetite.

    Step 4: Launch meetings are bad

    In a recent survey many career women were asked “what is the main reason that women are getting bigger while at work” and the vast majority of them blamed launch meetings. It is a fact that during launch meetings you may end up eating much more than you need. What you need to do is be alert and protect your diet by being selective on what you eat and in what quantities you eat. Prefer to eat more salads and vegetables and less meat or curvy food. Do not let yourself get carried away from the conversation or from the quantities consumed by other people. Be conservative on your eating and rich full on your talking.

    Step 5: No snacking is allowed after dinner

    When you are home after a difficult day at work it is time to consider dinner. It would be nice if you could get prepared for dinner in advance and not wait the last minute to think what you are going to eat. This can have negative side effects to your diet because by nature you will end up selecting the easiest solution (ready made food or takeaway) which is the worst choice you can make for your diet. Instead try to plan your meals in advance and if this is not possible try to consume food items that are low in calories, fat and sugars. Take your last meal at least 3 hours before going for sleep and make sure that there is no snacking after that.

    To sum up, women have a lot of reasons to take care of their body and looks. From what you have read above there is nothing difficult. All the weight loss tips for women are based on two simple principles: planning and implementation. To lose weight successfully you need to have a detail plan (what to eat, when to eat and in what quantities) and you need to have the willingness and patience to implement it.

    Burn Fat Quickly with Green Tea

    Burning calories is not easy—it takes a lot of energy and effort to remove huge amounts of fat, but with the help of green tea extracts you can easily speed up the burning process. Researchers have discovered that drinking a cup of green tea daily will boost your metabolism from 8 to 14 percent, that’s why they highly recommend it to those who are looking for a quick method to lose fat.

    Tea is made from Camellia Sinesis and has three main varieties: green, black and oolong. The difference between these types is their concentration levels of polyphenol antioxidants. The more polyphenols there are in the ingredients, the better the fat-burning effects and benefits will be. Green tea is a rich source of this particular antioxidant, that’s why it is considered as one of the best weight loss alternatives available in the market today.

    Green tea originates from Asia, mainly from China and other neighboring countries like Japan and South Korea. Asians in general have slim bodies, good skin complexions and higher life expectancy rates, and this is because drinking tea has become part of their culture for several centuries. In the past, this herbal beverage was normally consumed for its healing qualities, but ever since more benefits have been discovered, it has become an all-around remedy. So if you include it in your diet, you’ll not only be reducing fat but you’ll also be cleansing and protecting your body from various diseases.

    Exercising will help you burn calories, but if you exercise and take green tea every day, you’ll have more chances of getting your body in shape. Your friends will be surprised the next time they see you because you’ll look much younger and sexier. They’ll want to know what supplements you took to achieve those results, and when you say you only drank tea, they’ll be desperate to try it out themselves!

    So you if you want to have a healthier, slimmer and more youthful body, go ahead and get some of this amazing tea today! For just a small amount of money, you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits that this beverage brings. Compare that to all the expensive weight loss supplements that do not really deliver the results they strongly claim. With green tea, you’ll not only save a lot of money but also attain a great-looking body within a short period of time!


    Advantages of Drinking Green Tea for Weight Loss:

    1) Green tea revs up your metabolism

    A study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a metabolism 'boost').

    The researchers also concluded that that over a 24-hour period, green tea extract increases the metabolic rate by 4%. These effects are probably due to the high concentrations of catechin polyphenols found in green tea. These work to help intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis (the rate at which your body burns calories).

    2) Green tea inhibits fat absorption and helps glucose regulation

    Experts tell us that the catechins in green tea help to inhibit the movement of glucose into fat cells. Green tea may also act as al glucose regulator. It helps to slow the rise in blood sugar after a meal. This prevents high insulin spikes (lots of insulin promotes fat storage) and the subsequent fat storage.

    3) Green tea may help reduce appetite

    Scientists at the University of Chicago found that green tea caused rats to lose up to 21 percent of their body weight. Rats injected with a green tea extract lost their appetites and consumed up to 60 percent less food after seven days of daily injections. This may have something to do with the blood sugar regulating effects of green tea.

    4) Green tea can help you save calories on your morning brew.

    We are a nation hooked on our java. Be it the regular double-cream, double-sugar standard or that mocha, dappa, frappucinno, the calories we ingest just to get our morning caffeine is wreaking havoc on our waistlines.

    1) Sore Muscles? Don't Stop Exercising

    Delayed onset muscle soreness is common after exercise and usually means your muscles are getting stronger.
    "The muscle discomfort is simply a symptom of using your muscles and placing stresses on them that are leading to adaptations to make them stronger and better able to perform the task the next time."


    2) This muscles soreness is most frequently felt when u begain a new exercise program.. Delayed onset muscle soreness is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. The amount of tearing ( and soreness) depends on how hard and how long u exercise and what type of exercise u do..

    Taken from: sportsmedicine.about.com

    3) You would need at least 8 hours to feel this kind of muscle soreness. You might end a workout feeling satisfied; but eventually soreness would seep into your muscles the following morning. Many people have this opinion that this ‘next-day’ muscle soreness is due to lactic acid built up in the muscles. That is not true because lactic acid will usually disappear an hour after the exercise. Next-day muscle soreness is merely caused by the damage of muscle fibre.

    Taken from: body-building-review

    4) 24 hours to 48 hours after a hard workout, most people begin to experience soreness in the body parts trained. This is called Delayed Onset MuscleSoreness, or DOMS.DOMS is caused by tiny microscopic tears that occur in the muscle as a result of high intensity exercise (such as weight training, intense cycling, etc). After the workout, the muscle begins to rebuild itself (provided it is allowed enough time and nutrients to recover). This is the rebuilding process which creates new muscle that is bigger and stronger than before. In other words, your muscles are growing.DOMS pain is different from the burning sensation and pump you feel during a workout and also different from the pain you get from an injury. DOMS is often used as an indication of a productive workout as it means you’ve trained intensely enough to break down muscle tissue.. and now, as a result, you will be rewarded with new muscle growth.



    YUPS! betollah ape yang boyfriend i cakap tuh~ bukan sbb nk sedapkan ati i jew~ dats mean soreness muscles ni minor jew~ i xleyhlah ngade2 sangat nak saket lebih2~ hehehhe~...oklah, blek kang buat workout lagi! Chaiyok!! make it as a life routine~
