We have all seen the usual weight loss tricks and techniques; some of them yield little results while most of them will not even get you an inch closer to your weight loss dream. Day in, day out people troop into gyms with the aim of losing some pounds; some walk out of the gym happy, some walk out still searching for solutions. We all know that regular exercises and foods will help us lose weight, but here are 7 unusual tips that will promote rapid weight loss.

Walk out of the gym – yes, I mean quit the gym. If you are the type who hardly has time to go to the gym, then don’t bother about squeezing schedules so tight just to go to the gym. Instead of going to the gym, think of activities that you love and engage in them frequently. The added advantage that you will enjoy is that, you will be working out longer and you will be having fun too, since it’s something you love doing.

Keep eating your best foods – of course I know one of the most important rules of weight loss is to avoid certain foods, but it happens that most of these foods that falls on the ignore list also happens to be the foods we enjoy eating. This alone spells boredom and forms part of the reasons why people back out of their weight loss plans. With the aid of a calorie counter, you can eat whatever you want, so long as it does not exceed your daily calorie requirement. This way, you will lose weight fast and healthily.

Workout without ceasing – if it were impossible, I would not be asking you to do it. Many of you express your need to lose weight and yet, you take a bus to every where you want to go to, the only time you exercise is when you go to the gym. A great person does not wait for opportunities, he sees opportunities in everything. Instead of parking close to the gate, park far away from the gate and take a walk instead to where you are going to. You can go the market on foot or take a long walk whenever you need to see a friend. There are so many weight loss opportunities in our daily activities; you just need to look for them.

Change your plates – even after changing your meals, change your plates too. Eating in small plates will give you the illusion that you are actually eating much, and you will learn to savor you meal; you won’t even notice the missing calories.

Sleep and sleep and rest – enough of the gym already. It’s time to rest and sleep. Researches show that stress triggers the release of hormones that interfere with the metabolic rate of a person. When your metabolic rate is affected, your body will burns few calories, and just store up the rest as fats. You and I know you don’t want that. Take some time to rest and give your body enough time to adapt to changes in diets and the rigors of workouts.

Visit the sun sometimes – you don’t necessarily have to fly a jet; just go out in the sun once in a while. Researches show that people with vitamin D have a lesser chance of being obese and getting type 2 diabetes. In addition to that, do you know that sweat is actually fats crying? So, do everything you can to sweat. Walking in the sun is a fine way to sweat, with a bonus.
Finally,

The toothpaste diet – what’s that surprise look on you face? I don’t mean you have to ingest toothpastes, if that’s what you are thinking. You simply have to inculcate the habit of brushing your teeth after your meals. The mint from the toothpaste will reduce your appetite and keep you from eating. Plus, you will always have a germ free tooth – that promises good health, and you will need it in every weight loss program.
