But that’s extremely dangerous for your health and that’s not actually losing fat, says British sport scientist Ross Edgley. According to TVNZ, Edgley lost more than 11 kg in 24 hours to prove that a loss of body weight doesn’t necessarily indicate a loss of fat. It may just mean you are extremely dehydrated or simply starved.

Don’t grab your dinner and gobble it while watching your favourite TV show. You are likely to eat more and won’t even notice how full you are until it is too late. Make meal time a special affair, if not as exclusive as a Japanese tea ceremony. Food is the greatest nourishment of body and mind, and you need to enjoy it to experience the wholesome effect. A large, vibrant and well-lit dining room is nice, but even a cosy corner with a few comfortable chairs and soft lighting can set the ambience. Eat healthy and stay relaxed when it’s munch time. And keep all the clutter (yes, we mean work, TV, mobiles and even books) out.

Redo your home zone.
And do it the healthy way. Leave some room for fresh air; take care of the house plants and the pets (if any); and make sure there’s adequate light all over. Some winter cleaning now and then is not a bad idea as it keeps your place dust and germs-free. Deck up your rooms, paint them anew or re-arrange furniture as many times as you want, but try and do most of the work yourself.

How about buying a full-length, fancy mirror that captures a slim-trim you every time you walk past it? The most important thing about working out is to feel good about yourself all the time. And what can do it better than a mirror reflection that says you are on the right path? Feel free to buy paintings, crystals, small décor pieces – anything that enhances your inner peace and tunes in with your feeling of well being, advises Devangini. After all, a great mind in a great body is the essence of well-balanced, harmonious living.
