You can lose over 5 pounds in 12 weeks without changing what you eat, or how much you exercise. How? Drink a glass of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner. According to a study in the journal Obesity, it works simply by filling you up, so you eat less. And drinking TWO glasses of water before each meal helped people lose TWICE as much weight. It’s as simple as that.

You can lose a little over 5 pounds in 12 weeks without changing what you eat, or how much you exercise, simply by drinking water before each meal. Here’s why it works… A study scanned people’s brains after they drank water and found their stomachs registered as “full” – even though all they’d had was water. And that’s why people who drink the most water lose the most weight.

Just wait for a‑twentieth of a second! A study in Psychological Science found that’s about how long it takes after a craving first strikes for your brain to decide whether you’re making a healthy choice or not. And that minuscule amount of time allows you to weigh the pros and cons of taking that first bite of chocolate cake, for example, and helps overcome your natural impulse to eat it immediately. Your first thought is about taste – the second thought is about health. So just give yourself another split second before you reach for your fork, and you may be able to resist temptation.

You can lose weight without dieting or exercising……Just chug water before meals. The University of Oxford found people who drank 16 ounces of water before every meal ate less than those who didn’t – and lost 9 pounds in 3 months, without making any other changes. The water not only fills you up – it makes you feel healthy, which prompts you to make better choices.

Olfactory scientist Dr. Pamela Dalton says deliberately breathing in a food’s aroma helps us appreciate its flavor more. And when we think food is more flavorful, we need less of it to feel full. So take a deep whiff of your food before eating. And when you’re cooking, use things like fennel, garlic and onions – to increase your food’s aroma. You can also try doing a few jumping jacks before eating. The activity will increase blood flow to your nasal passages – improving your sense of smell and enhancing the effect of the food’s aroma even more.

If you want to lose weight – don’t think about what you can’t eat. Instead, focus on the positive. So it’s not “I can’t eat fries…” It’s “I CAN eat more fruit.” That comes from nutritionist Joy Bauer. And it makes your eating plan about positive action rather than deprivation. And professor Art Markman agrees. He teaches psychology and marketing at the University of Texas. He says, when you add something – like more vegetables – instead of taking something away – you’re more likely to repeat the action until it becomes an automatic habit.

Well, if you’re trying to lose weight, take your lunch break at exactly 12:38 pm. According to a new survey of 1,000 dieters, that’s the optimal time when dieters generally lost the most weight. And the survey goes on to say the best time to eat breakfast is at precisely 7:11 am… and the best time to eat dinner is 6:14 pm. That way you’re fasting for 12 hours – which helps your body use the calories you consume, instead of storing them as fat.

This tip may help you eat less and drop pounds over the long-haul.

Set the mood. Nutrition scientist Dr. Brian Wansink says rooms with candlelight and soft music help people eat about 120 fewer calories per meal… Compared to eating somewhere bright and loud. That’s because a relaxed atmosphere encourages us to chew more slowly, so we take about 8 minutes longer to eat… Which may just be long enough for our brain to register our stomach’s “I’m full” signals.

10000-5-wp

If you want to stay slim, commit these two numbers to memory: 10,000 and 5. According to the journal Appetite, the only two weight-loss-maintenance methods that consistently work are taking 10,000 steps a day – and eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Doing those 2 things helped women maintain their weight loss for 2 years. So if you’ve reached your goal weight, remember 10,000 steps a day and 5 servings of fruits and vegetables to keep the pounds off.

Here’s a trick to improve your willpower while dieting.

Use the word “don’t” – instead of “can’t.” As in, “I don’t eat after 8pm.” 64% of dieters who told themselves “I don’t” were able to resist tempting foods – while only 39% of dieters were able to resist after using “I can’t” – as in “I can’t have a cupcake.” That’s because saying “I don’t” makes it a rule – a part of your belief system… But saying “I can’t” makes it feel like deprivation. As in, you want something but you can’t have it. “Don’t” is much more empowering.
