Many of us think that we don’t have time for weight loss. We associate losing weight with spending hours at the gym and in the kitchen. However, even though healthy meal preparation and fitness are vital, they do not take hours out of your day. In this article I will reveal how you can make weight loss fit into your daily schedule.

1. Spend 30 minutes on cardio each day. You don’t have to spend 2 hours on a treadmill each day and 20 minutes going back and forth to the gym. What you can do instead is go for a jog right outside your house. Even 30 minutes of cardio each day is effective!
2. Spend another 15 minutes daily on strength training. This will help you build muscles. 15 minutes each day is enough.
3. Healthy foods can be easily prepared. It only takes a half hour to grill chicken breast and cut up lettuce. Contrary to popular belief, healthy cooking does not take a long time. As a matter of fact, it usually takes less time than preparing fatty foods.
4. Eat smaller meals. Single portion meals every 3 – 4 hours are the best for weight loss.
5. Make enough food for a few days. If you want something special to eat, try making a few extra portions and placing them in the freezer.
6. Make a menu for the week. Decide what you are going to eat the entire week. This will help you eliminate a lot of time from meal preparation. We spend a lot of time deciding what to make.
