EASY weight-loss tricks
Below are a few weight loss tips and hints to keep you going. They are easy to follow and easy to carry out, you don't need to give up anything in your diet but can still be on your way to weight loss success.
Grapefruit
Studies by scientists in San Diego, have shown that half a grapefruit before main meals can boost fat loss. No need to change your diet, just a simple addition of grapefruit to your daily intake can help shed those pounds.
Ice water
Drinking large glasses of ice water can really kickstart your weight loss regime. Because the body has to heat the ice to get it to body temperature. In doing so the body uses up calories.
Green Veg
Eating your green veg before the rest of your meal can actually help you loose fat. It does this by creating a barrier and slowing down the digestion of other foods. Giving you a slower release of energy and allowing more time to burn off calories.
Thick Chips
Let's face it, not everyone can pull themselves away from the chips, so if you are going to cook chips then do it right. Chunky cut chips and veg don't absorb as much fat as the skinny "French fries" so opt for the chunky fries instead.
Calcium
Has been proven help weight loss and a lack of it in your diet can be a hindrance. A University in Indiana found that young, normal weight women who had 1,000mg of calcium every day lost about 6lb over two years. Before you go out and buy ten crates of milk, I recommend taking it in supplement form.
CLA
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) has shown to reduce fat mass and increase lean body tissue naturally. It is made by using sunflower or safflower oil and goes through a process to convert it into CLA. Around 30 years ago we would have received CLA naturally by eating beef or dairy products although the amount now produced by cows has greatly reduced due to he way they are farmed. There has never been any reported adverse side affects when using CLA because its an all natural food supplement.
