Simple Everyday Tips For Weight Loss That Actually Work

Just a few tweaks of your existing daily habits and routines can help you achieve the desired result that you have been wanting for years.

Complicated diet plans or expensive training modules are a way of overcompensating of sorts, for wishful thinking. Not that they don't provide the necessary results at all, they well are costly and complex. Those certainly are not the only ones, for sure. There are others and simpler ones, at that. Just a few tweaks of your existing daily habits and routines can help you achieve the desired result that you have been wanting for years.

Cooling Effect

Inhabiting predominantly cooler environment effectively shores up the brown fat storage, so a new study has surprisingly found. Brown fat, a special adipose tissue that gets activated when one experiences cold, generates heat to maintain the body temperature in cold conditions. Simply put, more brown fat means lesser belly flab. So, burn more fat simply by lowering the thermostat or by turning down the heat during the winter.

Red Fruits

High levels of flavonoids and antioxidants help the body maintain its shape by regulating the fat-storing genes. If the fruit has a high level of flavonoids — particularly anthocyanins, its skin appears red. By that logic, any fruit which is red — watermelons, apples, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, etc., should be best for weight loss.

As such, while fruits, in general, are healthy, watermelons are more so when it comes to weight loss. The common type lowers fat accumulations, while the honeydew variety deflects water retention and bloating.

Take To Pu-Erh Tea

Drinking tea for some is more than just a habit — it's a ritual. They only need to adopt this fermented Chinese tea and literally see the fat cells zap on their own. Experiments involving mice have shown that this tea can significantly lower the triglyceride — harmful fat — concentrations.

No-Bread Sandwich

Sounds like a misnomer, but if it's working, one shouldn't be complaining. Load your goodness content on top of a Swiss cheese slice. Lather it with healthy spreads. Wrap it like a jelly roll to eat. There's nothing weird about discounting 200 calories, compared to its original counterpart.

Dream Candy, Eat Less

Funny as it may seem, simply imagining that you've polished an entire packet of candy can help you actually eat less of it. Good if it works or blame the study.

Scent Change

Fruits, it appears, are beneficial, even when you're not having them. Whiffing any fruit — not just red ones — has a positive effect. Researchers suggest that the mere act of inhaling fruity scents can subconsciously prod one to make healthier food choices. Smelling a Shea butter-based scented lotion will also have a similar effect.
