TIPS TO LOOSE WEIGHT

1. Drink water (especially before meals)

We keep repeating it, we must drink a lot of water. Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24-30% over a period of about 1 hour, and helps the body burn calories, making it an excellent aid in weight loss.

A study shows that drinking half a liter of water almost an hour before a meal causes us to eat fewer calories and therefore helps us lose up to 44% more weight.

2. Eat eggs for breakfast

Eating whole eggs can have all kinds of benefits, including weight loss.

Scientists looked into the subject and found that replacing a cereal breakfast with eggs also helps to eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours, and therefore lose more body fat.

If you can't eat eggs for one reason or another, don't panic. Any other source of quality protein eaten for breakfast will do.

3. Drink coffee (preferably black)

Too often demonized, coffee is actually loaded with antioxidants, and therefore can have a number of health benefits.

Studies prove it. Caffeine increases metabolism by 3 to 11% and increases fat burning by 10 to 29%. Make sure you don't add industrial amounts of sugar and other high calorie ingredients, however. Which would totally nullify the profit gained from the coffee.

4. Drink green tea

Like coffee, green tea has many benefits. It contains a lower dose of caffeine, but is also packed with antioxidants called catechins, which "work" with caffeine to burn even more fat.

Although scientists are mixed in this case, there are many studies to prove that green tea (consumed as a drink or as a dietary supplement) can also promote weight loss.

5. Get into coconut oil

Coconut oil is very good for your health. With its high level of special fats, called Medium Chain Triglycerides, it is metabolized by the body differently from other fats.

These fats have been shown by researchers to boost metabolism and burn 120 extra calories per day while reducing appetite. In total, you will consume nearly 256 calories less per day.

It is not of course to add coconut oil on what you have already cooked, but to replace the oil you use for your culinary preparations.

6. Take glucomannan supplements

Several studies claim that the fiber called glucomannan leads to weight loss. This type of fiber absorbs water and is temporarily "deposited" in the intestines, which makes people believe in a feeling of fullness and stops the urge to eat.

Studies have shown that people taking these kinds of supplements lose more weight than those who don't.

7. Cut down on sugar

Added sugar is the worst ingredient in our modern diet, and unfortunately most people overeat it.

Science proves that consuming sugar is strongly associated with the risks of obesity, diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many more.

If you want to lose weight, cutting back on those added sugars is imperative. Make sure you read the labels carefully, because even so-called "healthy" foods are loaded with sugar.

8. Eat less refined carbohydrates

Refined carbohydrates, often sugar or grains from which the fibrous and nutritious part has been extracted (such as white bread or pasta).

It has been shown that refined carbohydrates can represent a significant spike in blood sugar, leading to a feeling of hunger which in turn increases food intake a few hours later. Eating refined carbohydrates is therefore strongly associated with obesity.

9. Start a low-carb diet

If you want to have all of the benefits associated with restricting carbs, consider going on a low carb diet and stick to it all the way.

As evidenced by several studies, such a diet can help lose 2 to 3 times more weight than a standard low fat diet, while improving our health.

10. Eat on small plates

Eating on smaller plates has been shown to automatically reduce the number of calories consumed. Researchers looked into the issue and found that people tend to underestimate the amounts when consuming their food in large dishes.
