Easy weight loss tips you can slip
into your everyday life.

Painless weight loss? If you're desperately trying to
squeeze in workouts and avoid your favorite high-calorie treats, it can seem
like there's nothing pain-free about it.
Yet while eating healthier and slipping in exercise does
take some work, it really doesn't have to require heroic effort. Making just a
few simple lifestyle changes can pack a big weight loss punch over time.
WebMD spoke to weight loss experts and everyday people
who've figured out a few painless ways to lose weight -- and keep it off. Here
are their top tips on how to lose weight without sweating it too much.
1. Add, Don't Subtract
Forget diet denial: Try adding foods to your diet instead of
subtracting them. Add in healthy goodies you really love, like deep-red
cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those favorite fruits into
your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and
sauces.
"Adding in really works, taking away never does,"
says registered dietitian David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Optimal Life
Foods, but do remember to keep an eye on overall calories. And don't forget to
add in something physical, too, whether it's doing a few dance moves before
dinner, shooting hoops, or taking a quick stroll.
2. Forget About Working Out
If the word "exercise" inspires you to creative
avoidance, then avoid it. Maybe the trick to enjoying a workout may be to never
call it working out.
"There's some truth to that," Grotto tells WebMD,
and once you start your not-calling-it-exercise plan, Grotto says you'll
discover "the way good health feels knocks down the roadblocks that were
preventing you from exercising in the first place."
So burn calories and invigorate muscles by riding bikes,
grass skiing, making snow angels, hiking, washing the car, playing Frisbee, or
chasing the dog around the yard.
After all, a rose by
any other name ...
3. Go Walking
Walking when the weather's nice is a super-easy way to keep
fit, says Diane Virginias, a certified nursing assistant from New York. "I
enjoy the seasons," she says, adding that even when she's short on time
she'll go out for a few minutes. "Even a five minute walk is a five minute
walk."
