Are you super busy? Can’t find enough time in your schedule to get to the gym, drink more water, or even get on a decent sleep schedule? Do you just grab whatever food is convenient because you don’t have time to cook?
Plenty of people have this problem. It’s all too common. But there are some incredibly simple ways you can lose weight even when you feel like you have absolutely no time.
Breakfast
There are two camps about eating breakfast. You can try Intermittent Fasting to lose weight (eating all your meals in a 6-8 hour window), or you can make breakfast the biggest meal of the day. Either can work so try both out.
Intermittent Fasting can help increase your metabolism, but it may take a while before you start to see the scale move.
Eating a big breakfast makes you less likely to eat a terrible lunch. If you’re full, you’re more likely to choose a healthier meal later. Note: You can also manage to do this by not waiting to order until you’re hungry. Try choosing your meal at least an hour before you’re actually going to eat it. Alternately, just pack your lunch the night before.
Breakfast doesn’t have to take a lot of time. Scramble some eggs, add some turkey bacon, and a side of fruit and you’re good to go. All told, it should take less than 15 minutes to make.

Exercise in the Morning
It can be really easy for the day to get away from you. What’s the first thing that gets cut? Exercising. If you schedule your workout time in the morning, you’ll be less likely to skip it.
By the same token, make it convenient for yourself. If you want to work out at a gym, pick one on your way to work or close enough to your work that you can exercise during your lunch break if you want. Or, exercise at home. There are plenty of workouts you can do with just your bodyweight inside the comfort of your own home.
Pro Tip: Leave your gym bag in front of the door. You can’t ignore it or conveniently forget it that way.
Track Your Food
There are so many awesome food trackers out there now. Pick the one you like and track absolutely everything you’re eating. I know you’re busy, but it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes out of your day (split up over a few occasions) to track your food.
Those 10 measly minutes can help you understand where you’re overeating and how to cut down your calorie intake. I’d actually encourage you to eat normally for a few days before you start making changes because that way you can measure the change in calories you’re eating.
There are about 3500 calories in a pound of fat. By cutting out 500 calories a day, you can lose a pound a week. Don’t go too far beyond that because losing more than 1-2 pounds per week isn’t sustainable.
Sleep
As busy as you are, sleep is probably the most important. Set aside 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. A good night’s sleep can help you lose weight, you’ll be more focused at work, and you’ll be less stressed. Getting proper sleep is easily the best way to set you up for a successful day.

Make Healthy Living a Habit
The more you make living a healthy life a habit, the more successful you’ll be at losing weight. Consistency is key. At first, you’ll feel like you’re forcing yourself, but once you manage to get these simple tips into your schedule, it’ll be like they were always part of your routine.
