5 Simple Habits That Helped Me Lose 10 Pounds

1. Drinking a ton of water

Every day, I strive to consume half of my body weight in ounces. So, because I weigh 150 pounds, I aim to consume 75 ounces of water per day. 

Drinking a ton of water

Simply divide your weight in half to determine how much water you should consume.

2. 20 minutes of yoga every day

Yoga can aid in weight loss because it strengthens muscles, and lean muscle consumes more fat than fat-bearing muscle.

In addition to being beneficial for stress, lowering cortisol levels helps reduce fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.

3. Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed

Stop eating two to three hours before bedtime. This was difficult for me because my spouse works afternoons.
