Against our best wishes, the new year is almost halfway through and a vast majority of our New Year resolutions are yet to see the light of day. A whopping 40% of Americans are predicted to have weight-loss as a part of their 2018 resolution.

Given the prevalence of hacks and our passion for DIY fixes, I have collated some of the expert opinions on easy weight loss in this new year. The list presented below highlights the easiest tips to reduce your scale numbers while ensuring you are energetically balanced to maintain your healthy lifestyle.

1. Diffuse the fluids: historically, Epsom salt has been used in various traditions as a weight loss tactic and various celebrities have reportedly soaked themselves in the substance before events to diffuse excess bodily fluids from her amazing body to her bathtub.

2. Stick with smoothies: As diverse studies have suggested, nutrient dense smoothies not only serve as antioxidants in our bodies, they readily induce weight loss. Also, including tofu in your morning smoothie not only increases your protein intake and creamy consistency, but it induces more weight loss. Opting for fluids such as smoothies on specific diets helps our bodies readily burn through its fat reserves.

3. Never leave out your veggies: Regardless of the dish you crave or are already ordering, ensure a serving of salad is also ordered. This not only limits our eating capacity but offers immense metabolism benefits that induce weight loss. Moreover, to spice up your veggies intake, consider using a spiralizer to transform your veggies such as potatoes into veggie noodles.

4. Alter your eating habits: Research has shown that eating on-the-go not only hampers meal experience but further increases meal dissatisfaction, leading to the consumption of greater proportions. Additionally, diverse studies have shown that gradually reducing your chinaware’s size over time controls your consumption capacity, ultimately allowing you to limit your caloric intake. Therefore, health-conscious people are encouraged to sit down for every meal while eating from a small chinaware.

5. Minimize eating out: frequenting exotic restaurants and indulging in fanciful meals not only reduces our mental control over our meals and alters our dietary plan but in the long run increases or weight. It is advised that people seeking to lose weight purchase durable Tupperware set and plan their weekly meals, including lunch on weekends. Should your date be hesitant on you guys sharing a romantic meal, opt for a health-conscious restaurant or do date night in; where you can prepare and/or control every meal.

The basic tenet of weight gain or loss is; Garbage in, Garbage out! So, take the high road by limiting your consumption patterns and gain the body you deserve this season.

Half Full Of Regrets

In the windy yet techy regions of the San Francisco Bay Area, everyone craves to make it into the big tech companies. This fantasy serenades the minds of countless computer engineers who are best poised for successful careers within such behemoth organizations.Although Chloe was a high flying second-year computer engineering student, she never for once fancied the bay area as her attention was set on a single price; gain entry to the globally acclaimed biotech firm BioQuinox. Most of the groundbreaking innovations in cardiac rhythm auto-calibration and nano-oxide film deposition in blood vessels were achieved by highly efficient micro-teams within BioQuinox.Chloe constantly researched and discussed the existing and prevailing biotechnological trends with her best friend and colleague Ruby. Ruby had the conventional mindset; finish your Stanford degree with amazing recommendations and internship experience, then proceed to get a job with a globally reputable technology firm like Linxx. Their somewhat symbiotic and complementary relationship continued throughout their bachelor's degree and just before their final year, tragedy struck. Ruby's dad was diagnosed with a rare form of cerebral palsy, that although undetected all his life, gradually induced early signs of Alzheimer and reduced motor functions while still in his early 40's. The news was so devastating that Ruby chose to defer her admission a year to go support the family through this period.As her father's condition kept growing worse, Ruby never failed to keep Chloe informed of the latest happenings via texts or phone calls, albeit in-between tears. She was gradually losing her father and there was nothing current medicine could do to stop it. One chilling evening, they received an August visitor; it was Chloe.She had come straight from college to see and grief with her best friend and her family. The atmosphere was worse than she expected, everything had been adjusted to make their home wheelchair conducive, the stairs had wheel paths, the dining was missing a chair etc. With a grim smile on her face, she hugged her friend in total silence and as she expected, Ruby broke down in tears on her shoulder in the presence of both her parents and without saying a word, the duo proceeded upstairs to the room.Upon getting to the room, Ruby mentioned to Chloe how the doctors mentioned how certain age-induced genetic markers were triggered by some environmental or bodily biological reactions, leading to his nervous system shutting down most functions. Affirmatively, Chloe responded, "Things would certainly have been different if such genetic markers had been identified and eliminated or replaced while he was a kid." "How many months did the doctor's give him?" She asked. "6 months and we have 2 months to go". Then the sobbing resumed heavily.Little do they know that this idea would be the precipice of a billion-dollar war that would transform both ladies to arch enemies.

Tari was his name

One chilling Saturday evening, Emma was home alone in her family's Lagos residence pondering how best to spend her post-graduation break in the absence of her brother who ditched her for a late-night party. Her parents were in Ogun state to spend the weekend with granny who had recently been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. Also, due to Emma's recent episode with pneumonia, she was in no shape to travel. Therefore her parents left in the care of her only elder brother.Although it was just 7:15 pm but the sun had disappeared from the sky and pitch darkness was swiftly falling over her luxurious Sailor's Estate residence, but for the illuminating streetlights. Emma warily looked at the wall clock in a bit of a dilemma and fiddling with her phone, the fifteen years old high school graduate considered what neighbor she could invite over for a sleepover."Should I invite Alexa over?" she thought to herself "No! Her mother would definitely not allow her to step out this late". "what about Nina?", "Nah! She lives far away" she said. Right then it dawned on her that she could invite her latest crush over, the new guy on her street... Tari was his name.They had met about two weeks ago, during a Saturday jogging session. While she was doing her laps across the lonely estate park, she noticed a cute, ruddy but short guy staring at her while he geared up for his laps. Feigning ignorance, she continued her workout with little reference to him. Then the weirdest thing happened. He waited till she was close to him before he synchronized his lap with hers and tried to have a conversation with her. His British accent gave him away to have just relocated to Nigeria and he sounded so matured she could tell he was in his late 20's. With a childish grin on his face, he made her workout her best ever as he made her blush uncontrollably with his boyish charms and snide comebacks.They spent no less than 20 minutes chatting and jogging and during that moment they had grown fond of each other. He even mentioned that he had relocated to Nigeria and and that he was temporarily staying with his female cousin. After the workout, they exchanged numbers and had been in close contact ever since. Sadly, they had not been together since then due to their conflicting schedules and nosy family members.With a devious smile on her lips, Emma picked up the phone to invite him over. The phone had barely rung a few times before someone answered it saying "Hello!". It was a lady. Emma replied, "Good evening, please is Tari closeby?". The lady replied "and you are?". After a brief silence, Emma answered: "My name is Emma, I am friends and neighbours with Tari". In a rude and harsh tone, the lady replied " I am Dupe, Tari's wife. I can see you have met my husband. Please stay away from my husband or you would have yourself to blame!". With that, she hung up the phone.
