In the world of junk foods, fizzy drinks, stressful environment and super fast life there is bound to be lapses in maintaining health. The result of ignorance is obesity.

Fitness programs like a boot camp would give you desirable results in losing weight but still you have to be careful about your habits you follow in day today life.
Food habits
The main culprit of obesity in today's fast-paced life is junk food. Foods like pizzas, burgers, chips and fries contain more fat producing substance than any other food. Stuff your plate with more vegetables and fruits; once you make a habit of eating them, you will easily forget your cravings for junk food. Vegetables and fruits contain fibers that absorb the unwanted fat from your body. Maintain a time table for having food, and avoid skipping your meals. Having small quantity of food at intervals is good rather than having large quantity of food at once.
Drinking habits
Myth: drinking more water keeps your body healthy. Fact: your body is designed to ask the amount of water it needs. So drinking water beyond the capacity of your body is not useful. But having other drinks when you are thirsty is harmful. Fizzy drinks, hot beverages and alcoholic drinks are not alternatives for water. They not only contain unhealthy ingredients, they produce harmful effects on the body when consumed with junk foods. Avoid having other drinks when you are thirsty. Instead, rejuvenate yourself with coconut water or just plain water.
TV and PC habits
Sitting in front of TV or PC with the movie playing and munching on popcorn, chips, fries bowl after bowl sounds exciting. But it is fatal to the body which bears the brunt of your excitement. Researchers have found that people gobble up more junk food when sitting in front of TV or PC. Avoid eating while watching TV or working on PC. Fill your bowl with fruits if you can't avoid it.
Exercising habits
Workouts play an important role in reducing weight. More often than not people fail to manage a regular workout session because of lack of interest or work pressure. You may feel performing simple exercises like attending a boot camp in the initial stages but once you pass the phase, you will find difficulty in stopping the habit. So adhere to a set of exercises until you make it a habit. You will be surprised by the result it produces.
Working habits
Today's world is of commitments and deadlines. Once the deadline nears, the stress level rises. Studies have shown that whenever people are in stress they tend to eat more to relieve the pressure. Some go one step further and binge heavily on alcoholic drinks. There by increasing fat content in the body. Practicing meditation, listening to music, playing, spending more time with family are some of the remedies to cool off your nerves.
Mind your habits
