How can my busy schedule help me to lose weight?
I want to lose 30 pounds in 6 months but with my busy schedule I find it impossible to lose weight. I hardly find the time to exercise. The only exercise I get is swimming for 1/2 an hour twice a week during weekends. I tried cutting down calories but failed because I been working the whole day, it is impossible to eat 1200 calories a day. I work from 9am-7pm on weekdays and sometimes have to stay back late. Can anyone give me a good advice on how to lose weight fast?

Well stay away from my diet, I’m in school all day and don’t find much time for eat or sleep. I have been looking at some old pictures of me and it kind of makes me sad how much my health has deteriorated.. bags under my eyes and I have lost a significant amount of weight… so basically if you want to lose weight.. you can go without eating but I can’t gurantee you will look/feel much better about yourself. The best thing you can do for yourself is to run and eat as healthy as possible. Swimming is also great, it is known as one of the best exercises! Don’t worry weight loss isn’t done in a week but you will be very glad to have lost the weight!

cut out ALL grains, flour, wheat, white rice, pasta, alcohol, starch, sugar, dairy, oils, etc, or as much as possible. Eat lots of lean protein, raw and cooked veg, fruit, eggs, nuts, and drink lots of water. Walk briskly for at least two hours per day, EVEN in the rain, and other exercise if possible. The idea is not so much to cut calories as to shift your cellular metabolism. the goal is to increase the efficiency of your mitochondria, upegulating to fat burning as opposed to fat storing mode.
Your body needs calories to operate efficiently and fuel your muscles for fat metabolism. That’s one reason why diets don’t work.

It’s easy when you’re busy not to eat properly, as you grab snacks and fast food to fill you up. Try adding components of a healthy diet. As for exercise, get off the bus/tram/metro or park your car a bit away from the office, so that you’ll walk for ten-fifteen minutes each way. Take the stairs, not the lift. Go for a walk in the park during your lunch break. Small changes will make a huge impact.
