Top 60 ways to lose weight or burn fat

51. Walk the dog

52. Walk someone else's dog

Ask first.

53. Mow the lawn

54. Mow the neighbors lawn

Ask first.

55. Buy a pedometer

Every step you take burns a little weight. So count them with a pedometer. I could tell you should do thousands more but the reality is every one helps. If you can measure how many you are taking it is more of an incentive to take more.

56. Eat only when you hear your stomach growling

We often we eat out of boredom, nervousness, habit, or frustration. If you're really must eat a specific food, it's probably a craving, not hunger. If you could eat a horse you're truly hungry - but a carrot would be a better choice.

57. Look for volunteer work

An example might be weeding local parks and reserves.

58 (41). Ride a bike

If you can, ride your bike to work.

59. SOS - be prepared for a "special occasion setback"

"Go on - its your birthday". Special occasions are all potential disasters. We all fall sooner or later. A few steps to redemption:

1. One bad day does not undo all your good work unless you let it.

2. Be kind to yourself - we are all human.

3. Pick yourself up and start again. Ok, so you eat all the chocolate in the house and then went next door and ate all of theirs. It's done. It's over. Lets start again with what you were doing before. That was one step back. Now its time for two steps forward.

4. What triggered the relapse? Is there a way to reduce the chances of it happening again? This is a good time to talk to someone - maybe the chocolate less neighbor?

60. Eat Seaweed

British scientists say seaweed could be the answer. A fibrous material in sea kelp called alginate was better at preventing fat absorption than most over-the-counter slimming treatments. Laboratory tests for a University of Newcastle study showed alginate. had the potential to reduce the body's fat retention by more than 75 per cent.
