Loosing weight is not easy for some people. And we know dropping off a
few pounds doesn’t have to involve deprivation or intense workouts.
These tricks will help you slim down the easy way
1. Drink Enough Water
There are so many reasons
why water is, among other things, good for your waistline. Drinking cold
water can help up your metabolism, since your body will work harder to
warm up the liquid, meaning more calories burned
for you. Drinking water regularly also helps keep you feeling full so
you don’t snack on empty calories, and hydrating before you exercise
will help release muscle-building hormones in your body — which spells
good news for not only your strength goals but also your metabolism.
2. Get Enough Sleep
Celebs and doctors alike
can’t stop talking about their go-to weight-loss secret: one of the keys
to losing or preventing weight gain is getting enough sleep. Why? Turns
out we end up eating more when we’re sleep-deprived. A recent study,
for example, showed that participants who got only four hours of sleep
ended up consuming 300 more calories than when they were well rested.
3. Practice Portion Control
Even if you’re not
on a diet, being mindful of how much you’re eating is good practice. It
can take a few minutes for your brain to recognize that you’re full, so
get in the habit of knowing how much an actual serving size is (and how
much it takes until you’re full), and you’ll be less apt to pack on the
pounds due to overeating.
4. Drink Green Tea
Water’s not the only metabolism booster in town. Studies have shown that drinking green tea
can give your metabolism a tiny increase — which can add up to over 400
extra calories burned a week! Not only that, the beverage has got some
major antioxidant power, so drink up.
5. Use Your Friends
Maintaining a healthy
lifestyle can be much easier with the support and motivation of
like-minded friends. Having a healthy support group can lead to better
choices for yourself; you may find yourself moving more, skipping more
calorie-laden happy hours, and making other lifestyle choices that can
contribute to weight loss.
