Who wouldn't want to loose weight? If you see your kpop idols everyday, so beautiful on a tiny bod, first thing that will run to your mind is 'I wish, I'm as slim as her', 'Whew, will it take forever to achieve that?'.

To help you out a little from your worries, here's some tips how you could loose that extra pounds (if you have) to achieve that kpop bod.

1. WALK!

Park your vehicle.
A few blocks apart from the place you are going to and take to brisk walk to your office, grocery store, or a shopping mall. Intend to walk at least 30 minutes every day. At work, use some time during your lunch break to take a refreshing walk in a nearby park. If the weather is cold, you still can walk in your favourite mall.

2. Walk around the office …

In the office, get out of your comfortable chair and go visit your colleagues from a different department instead of messaging or phoning them. If you need to go to a washroom, choose the one located on the top floor and WALK there.


3. Choose the stairs …

Try to always take the stairs instead of an elevator. It will add a few hundreds of burn calories per day!



4. Forget about the remote …

While watching TV, do not use remote control. Instead, every time you need to switch channels, get up and do that manually.




5. Chew …

At dinner, choose steak instead of pasta. The more you chew, the more calories you burn!



6. Have hot organic drinks …

Several times during the day, drink organic coffee or green tea without sugar to boost metabolism.


7. Eat more often …

Eating frequent small meals, especially if they are not loaded with sugar or white flour, is more stimulating for your metabolism than stuffing yourself with big meals two or three times a day.


8. Choose spicy …

If your health allows it, of course. Choosing spicy dishes is another way to burn more calories during the day (like Korean does). And they will also make you drink more water, which is great for your weight loss and general health!


9. Keep moving at all times …

Adopt a habit of moving your feet, stretching your legs, or squeezing a rubber ball while sitting, specially infront of your PC. Can you believe that such simple movements can burn up to 500 calories a day?



10. Keep the temperature low …

In the winter, turn down the heat in your room, especially at night, and sleep under a lighter blanket. In the summer, turn on an air conditioning. A colder environment makes your body produce more heat and, therefore, facilitates the utilization of calories.

Your effort will help a lot, specially if you do this religiously. Thanks to Amanda Brown
