9. Cut your weekly takeout meals in half.
It’s no secret that takeout meals are not very healthy. They are often loaded with extra fat, sugar, and salt to get you hooked and coming back for more.
But when your morning is too rushed to pack a lunch, let alone eat a healthy breakfast, and the kids have 20 different activities in the evening, it’s common for folks to rely on takeout too much.
However, if you can carve out a just two hours a week for pre-planning and prepping meals you would otherwise get from takeout, you will begin to shed pounds effortlessly.
Portion out fruit, nuts, and veggies for snacks, pre-cook oatmeal or scrambled eggs for breakfast, and chop and freeze the ingredients for an easy dinner. Your waist and your wallet will thank you for this!
