This is one of the easy weight loss tips I know of. You can start losing weight by doing the following ‘body check’ activity. It is so simple to do, and is an important fast weight loss technique for learning to listen to your body and to increase your personal awareness of what your body needs. Repeat it often, and as many times as you like. It is the ideal way to ‘fill up with breath’ instead of food. It is also a useful way of getting ready to start an exercise routine.

Sit in a chair and get comfortable. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Then consider and focus on your body. Start at your head, then work down through each limb and each area of your body towards your toes. Consciously check that your muscles are releasing the tension they have been holding; notice the temperature and the comfort level of each part of your body. Monitor your body for signs of pain, pleasure, hunger, thirst, tiredness, etc. Continue to breathe deeply into your belly and enjoy how relaxed you can become.

Use this technique for five minutes at a time; every day if you can.
