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.

When many of us are peacefully slumbering, Paula McClure, the owner of a spa
in Dallas, is often jolted awake by what she refers to as her sleep
committee.
"The committee meets in my head at 3 a.m., and we run down a list of
problems: all the things I didn't get done that day, people I didn't call back,
decisions I'm worried about," she says.
The dark-of-the-night fretting may follow McClure into the daytime hours,
often making her feel emotionally paralyzed. "My...
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
beachcombing, riding bikes, grass skiing, making snow angels, hiking,
washing the car, playing Frisbee, chasing the dog around the yard, or
even enjoying great sex. 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."
No sidewalks in your neighborhood? Try these tips for slipping in more steps:
- Trade your power mower for a push version.
- Park your car at the back of the lot.
- Get out of the office building and enjoy walking meetings.
- Sweep the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a leaf-blower.
- Get off the bus a few stops earlier.
- Hike the mall, being sure to hit all the levels.
- Take the stairs every chance you get.
- Sign up for charity walks.
- Crank the music and get your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.
It all adds up. If you walk twice a day for 10
minutes and try a few of these tips, you may find yourself with a
low-impact, 30-minute workout easily tucked under your belt.
4. Lighten the Foods You Already Love
One of the easiest ways to cut back without feeling
denied is to switch to lower-calorie versions of the foods you crave. A
pizza tastes just as good with reduced-fat cheese, and when you garnish
low-fat ice cream with your favorite toppers, who notices those missing
calories?
And while
you're trimming fat calories, keep an eye on boosting fiber, suggests
registered dietitian Elaine Magee, RD, MPH, author of Tell Me What to Eat If I Suffer From Heart Disease and Food Synergy.
Fiber helps you feel satisfied longer, so while you
lighten family favorites, you can easily amp up the fiber by adding a
cup of whole wheat flour to your pizza dough, or toss a handful of red
bell peppers on the pie.
Don't forget to lighten the drinks going with that
meal. Try switching from high-calorie favorites to diet soda or light
beer, or maybe add a spritz of seltzer to your wine.
Hate low-cal drinks? Mix your preferred drinks with a
splash of the low-cal option, then increase the ratio as your taste
buds adjust. And don't forget to keep pouring that ultimate beverage,
says Magee: water!
5. Because Hydration Helps -- Really!
Down some water before a meal and you won't feel so
famished, says David Anthony, an information technology consultant from
Atlanta. "Drinking a glass of water before a meal helps me watch what I
eat. … I don't just hog everything, since I'm not so hungry."
Magee, who also writes the "Healthy Recipe Doctor"
blog for WebMD, adds that for the compulsive snacker it's a great idea
to keep no-calorie beverages at hand "as a way to keep your mouth busy
and less likely to snack on junk food."
Going to a party? Grab a low-cal drink in one hand
and keep it there. Not only does it make it harder to graze the buffet,
but you'll also be less tempted to sip endless cocktails, too.
Finally, keeping your body refreshed with plenty of
water may also help your workout, says Anthony. Staying hydrated means
"I can exercise more, and longer, than if I don't drink water."
6. Share and Share Alike
With the massive meals served at so many American restaurants, it's easy to go Dutch -- with the dinner plate.
"When we go out, I often share a meal with my wife,"
Anthony tells WebMD. "We've been known to split a dessert, even a pint
of beer. That way, we don't feel stuffed, and we save some money."
You can share more than just a meal out. Why not
double up on a bicycle built for two? Go halves on the cost of a
personal trainer? Maybe split a gym membership?
"When you're trying to eat better or get more
exercise, you can be more successful if you do it with a partner or
group," says Grotto. "The community, the partnership, whether online or
in person, it really helps."
