Here is a short list of little things to adjust:

- Take just a little less calories in than you use (you don't want jojo effect).

- Waive soft drinks (even sugar free).

- Drink a lot of water.

- Start flexing your muscles from time to time (build tension in your body).

- Stand up.

- Do Push ups.

- Increase the steps walked per day.

- Take stairs not the elevator.

- Eat low carbs in the evening.

- Eat enough proteins (at least your bodyweight in grams).

- Read rails source code (it will cause your brain to go 100% cpu which consumes a lot of energy)



Take an app like Habinator https://habinator.com and set goals/habits that suit for you.

Health is not just about weight loss.


An alternative for those who don't want to have to set up an account or prefer privacy and libre variants, the Loop Habit Tracker[0] works just as well.

Doing a few push ups while compiling or CI is running is a great hack - aside from the fitness my back, shoulder and neck issues went away.
