Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages.
Before you tear into that bag
of potato chips, drink a glass of water first. People sometimes confuse thirst
with hunger, so you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of
water is really all you needed. If plain water doesn't cut it, try drinking
flavored sparkling water or brewing a cup of fruit-infused herbal tea.
Can You Make Your Metabolism Better?
Boosting
metabolism is the holy grail of weight watchers everywhere, but how fast your body burns calories depends on several things. Some people inherit a metabolism.
Men
tend to burn more calories than women, even while resting.And
for most people, metabolism slows steadily after age 40. Althoughyou can't control
your age, gender, or genetics, there are other ways to improve your metabolism.
Eat More Fiber
to reduce Stress
Fiber can help you feel fuller faster so you eat
less and lose weight. Getting enough fiber also keeps you regular and is good
for the heart. So in addition to the health benefits, getting enough fiber can
result in fewer things to be stressed about! The good news is that fiber comes
in many tasty forms, from oatmeal and whole-grain breads and cereals to fruits
such as apples, citrus, and strawberries, and vegetables.
