If your long working hours is your excuse for weight gain, read this.

Long working hours, stress, unhealthy eating habits are all putting your weightloss plans on the backburner. You spend more than 10 hours each day at work, add to it the commute time and you are hardly left with any time for yourself. But if you want to lose weight, you have to make time to exercise, to eat home cooked food and get proper sleep. Here are some tips to help you achieve that:

Keep it all about you: Treat yourself as the most important person. Only when you put your health and wellbeing on the top of your priority list will you be able to make time for exercise and proper sleep. Put away things that dont need immediate attention and hit the gym or go for a run.

Cook both meals at the same time: The worst part is to get back home after a tiring day and plan what to cook. This is why most people end up eating instant noodles or ordering food from outside. Avoid this by cooking both lunch and dinner at the same time. Once you have meals ready at home, you have to just heat it up and eat. Read: How to lose weight while living in a hostel?
