Exercise at home
Spending time in the gym is all well and good if you're keen to get in good shape, but when you've got to rush back to your daily routine or at work, it's much easier to sneak in some exercise here and there. 1.Naps Your body will thank you for taking a nap after you've had your workout. This won't only help you feel more refreshed after a workout, but it will also boost your levels of serotonin and dopamine, making you more focused on what you're eating and even help you sleep better! 2. Eat on the run Avoid having snacks in the afternoon to stay away from snacking when you're supposed to be focusing on your work. It's much easier to eat a healthy meal on the go. 3.
Eat your food slower
While you're busy eating the food, chances are that you're eating your food faster than you need to. Do what you can to slow down your eating. To do this, slowly cut the food into smaller pieces before you start eating. Even if you eat as fast as you can, try to eat the food slowly. Try to chew your food as you do so. This will help you burn more calories as you digest the food quicker. Next, after the main part of your meal, eat a smaller portion than what you ate before. In other words, do not overeat. Start doing this in the morning and you'll have a healthier body all throughout the day. Drink more water Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. When you feel thirsty, drink a glass of water. Adding even a small amount of water will help you avoid feeling thirsty.
Exercise at the office
Shannon Garcia, a fitness instructor and business owner from Westlake Village, Calif., tells SELF that there are a few exercises you can do at your desk that are super effective at burning calories. "Simply go up and down stairs as many times as you can," suggests Clark.

Clean up your diet
First of all, the easiest and best thing to do to help you lose weight and keep it off for good is to switch your diet to healthier eating. Instead of reaching for bread and potato chips to go with your pizza, have a salad and pizza instead. Make it a point to cut all the junk out of your diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits If you're a meat lover like me, then I'm sorry to say that you have to sacrifice some of the meat in your diet and replace it with vegetables. It does not have to be all vegetables but have two to three vegetables with each meal. These include vegetables like tomatoes, onions, carrots and broccoli. These veggies will keep you full and will curb your cravings for junk food.
