10 Tips for Losing 7lbs

1.Cut out the carbs at night, you very likely won't be burning them off unless you take a trip to the gym after dinner. Makes sure you have some carbs at lunch.

2. Give up the alcohol. After a drink or two your will power is weakened and that chocolate doesn't seem like a bad idea. Not to mention all the extra calories in the alcohol. It's tough I know but unless you do you won't be getting into that sexy number that you bought to wear for the night out.

3. Try and keep on the move, even if you are sitting at a desk a lot of the day, stand up and walk over to the water cooler more frequently, or just walk around the office on a regular basis. You can also do some buttock flexing exercises whilst sitting down.

4. Cut down on fat. Be sparing with the olive oil it has as many calories as butter (even though its better for you). Try using an oil spray instead.

5. Take a trip to bed early. If you succumb to snacking in front of the television every evening then buy yourself a good book and go to bed.

6. Hide the cookies......even better don't purchase them in the first place. If they are on view you will possibly not be able to resist. Be careful with the nuts and dried fruit too as these calories can mount up.

7. A quick 1 day detox, boil up some vegetables in a light stock, simmer for at least an hour. Strain of the liquid and drink throughout the day. You can also consume the cooked vegetables when hungry, this is a good detox.

8. 7 day detox, this really has a beneficial effect on your ability to drop some pounds, just sip lemon water first thing in the morning then fruit and vegetables (salads) throughout the day for the first2 days. After that you can introduce beans and lentils and grilled fish, try and eliminate the dairy and you should see a big difference. Not only will you shed some pounds but your skin will be looking much healthier and you will feel a lot fitter.

9. NO Butts! Exercise, its a must to help move the excess. If you don't like the gym then just walk round the neighbourhood, if you dislike the neighbourhood then walk up and down your stairs several times, if you don't have stairs then try and invest in a piece of home gym equipment. You can uncover bargains on EBay, in particular if you look for misspelled words.

10. Stand up tall and Suck it in! Good posture goes a long way to giving the illusion of having lost weight, stand up straight with your shoulders back and your chin parallel with the floor. Push your hips forward and bottom under, this holds the tummy in.
