There are simple ways to lose weight naturally over time without feeling the – ‘no gym’ guilt if you happen to fall off your fitness wagon for an extended period of time.
We all know that maintaining a healthy weight produces amazing health benefits but for some, a busy – on the go lifestyle is a huge hinderance to a sustainable weight loss regimen.
Natural weight loss happens over time if you maintain consistency with healthy lifestyle habits. This is not a lose-weight-fast scheme to get you to your ideal body weight quickly.
It is advisable to practice a combination of healthy lifestyle habits with or without a rigorous fitness regimen. This will serve as a buffer on busy days when you cannot get a good workout session in or if you are unable to exercise due to an illness or disability.
I urge you to practice these 7 natural tips that helped me lose weight naturally with my busy 9 to 5 schedule, alongside running my online business as a solopreneur –
I promise this works and If I can do this, then you can too…here we go:
1) Eat a clean diet
Make eating clean high-protein meals enriched with fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats part of your everyday diet.

2) Deep clean your house
Tackle cleaning your house or apartment yourself and track total number of steps and calories burned per cleaning session. The bigger the square footage of your space, the better the outcome! Please be warned, prepare to twist, turn, lift, and climb up and down stairs on repeat! Remember, you can spread your cleaning session over a couple of days, or simply do your thing all week long. The choice is yours!
3) Develop a weekly plan
Plan your work week ahead and meal prep accordingly. Also manage your stress levels to prevent stress eating and drinking excessive amounts of sugary energy beverages.
4) Drink healthy
Drink plenty of water and opt for low-calorie rich leafy antioxidant packed drinks such as celery juice, green smoothies, or green tea as your drink of choice.
5) Get enough sleep
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine and strive to get 7-10 hours of quality sleep every night. Follow this link to read my detailed blog post on the essential tips to improve quality of sleep!
6) Take care of your gut
Balance your gut bacteria by taking probiotics daily to help promote nutrient absorption and regular bowel movements.
7) Go on frequent walks
Embrace going on frequent walks with your kids, partner, parents, friends, or dog. This can be a fun and spontaneous physical activity for all parties involved and does not need to be pre-planned.
Adopting these lifestyle tips has helped me lose and maintain a healthy weight over time without feeling the ‘no gym’ guilt.
