3 lazy tips to lose those extra pounds in January

You've had delicious chocolates, cakes, foie gras, to name a few, during the last two weeks and now that the celebrations are all over, you'd secretly like to lose a few pounds.

But let's admit it, you're too lazy to hit the gym, run in a freezing park or commit a drastic diet like Jennifer Hudson (picture) who slimmed down to a size 10 with Weight Watchers.

No need to go to that extreme, here are 3 tips for all the lazies out there:

• Eat less in the evening - it would be impossible for most of us to eat tiny portions 365 days a year. But you can have smaller portions during three to four weeks. Or maybe you could replace rice and pastas with salad or vegetables.
• Reduce fats and sweets - just DON'T buy the tempting biscuits, sweets and New York cheesecakes  for a while. Out of sight, out of mind. And prefer lean meats like chicken breast and turkey.
• Do your squats 10 minutes a day -  this is the hardest bit. But think about it...   you can do it in your living room (while watching tv). If you are super lazy and only had to do one exercise a day, that's the one. Squats help burn fat on your tummy and thighs. Instructions on fitness website Bodyrock.
