We all know that the weight loss industry is full with myths. People are trying all those crazy things they hear in order to lose weight and unfortunately, most of them don’t work.
Here are the 13 evidence-based weight loss tips that actually work:
1. Drink more water, especially before meals
It’s true that drinking water can help you lose weight. It can boost your metabolism by 30% and it can help you burn more calories. Drinking ½ liter of water, 30 minutes before meals helped people eat less and lose 44% more weight.
2. Drink black coffee
Coffee is packed with antioxidants and it has countless health benefits. Caffeine in coffee can boost your metabolism and can increase fat burning. Just remember not to add sugar or high-calorie ingredients to your coffee.
3. Eat eggs for breakfast
Eating whole eggs can help you lose weight. Replacing a grain-based breakfast with eggs can help you eat less calories later in the day, lose more weight and body fat.
4. Drink green tea
Green tea contains caffeine and it’s packed with powerful antioxidants called catechins which can enhance the fat burning process.
5. Cut back on added sugars
Added sugar is the worst ingredient ever and most people are consuming too much of it. Sugar consumption leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. Cut back on added sugar if you really want to lose weight.
6. Use smaller plates
Using smaller plates while you eat will automatically reduce the amount of food you’re consuming and that means eating less calories.
7. Eat less refined carbs
Refined carbs can increase your blood sugar levels and cause obesity. If you’re going to eat carbs, eat them with their natural fibers.
8. Keep healthy foods around you
Keep healthy snacks around you in case you get hungry. This will stop you from eating something unhealthy. Snack on apples, nuts, yogurt etc.
9. Eat spicy foods
Spicy foods contain capsaicin which can boost your metabolism and reduce your appetite.
10. Eat more fibers
Fibers can increase satiety and help you control your weight. Add more fibers to your diet ASAP.
11. Chew more slowly
It takes a while for your brain to register that you’ve had enough. Chewing slowly can help you eat less calories and increase the production of hormones linked to weight loss.
12. Get good sleep
Lack of sleep is the strongest risk factors for obesity.
13. Stop drinking sugary soda and fruit juices
Sugar in liquid form is the worst thing you can consume. Sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to a 60% obesity in kids!
