Not sure if these are the highest ROI, but I’d say discipline. Of course, you may have some underlying condition or genetics which make losing weight harder. Some basic ideas:
- being mindful of your consumption. Eat slowly, chew properly, and limit your portion.
- hydrating yourself. If you feel like snacking or eating, does drinking a full glass of water reduce or eliminate that feeling? Because it might just be you’re not hydrated.
- increase fruit and vegetable consumption. For example, a tangible investment could be taking the time to slice up a banana and an apple or two in the morning and taking them to work with you. Use that for your snack or lunch, instead of going to the vending machine or going out and ordering a burger over lunch.
- being active. Don’t sit or lay on the bed all day. Move around. Go for a walk. Do chores around the house. Take out the trash. Clean the bathroom. Get on your knees and scrub the bath tub once a week or two. You might not lose 20 pounds from this, but something like getting on your knees forces you to practice mobility. If you’re not mobile and struggle getting around, long term you’re only going to gain weight.
You could always join a gym, but I’d encourage starting with small changes in your behavior and turning them into habits. Above all else, make these habits.
