May 14, 2018

Losing weight can be a slow process - and when you're anxious to get your body in shape fast, it can be frustrating. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to speed up your weight loss and see the results faster. Put these simple tips to work for you, and you'll be feeling slimmer in no time.
 

This tip might sound counterintuitive - can eating more really help you lose weight? Actually, yes, as long as you're eating clear soup. Recent research has discovered that sipping a low-calorie soup, such as miso soup or vegetable soup before meals can help you eat less during the meal itself.

If you want to speed up your metabolism, add some cayenne while you're cooking or slather some hot sauce on your meal before you dig in. Spicy food raises your metabolism by up to 8% after you eat it.

Getting too hungry is bad news when you're trying to lose weight. If you go too long without eating, you might be tempted to overeat later. Stave off binges by eating frequent healthy snacks, such as fruit, raw veggies, and nuts.

When you're tired and cranky, you're more likely to overeat and to indulge in less-than-healthy treats. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep a night, and you'll find it easier to stick to your diet.

Tea is calorie-free, satisfying, and good for you. Stave off snacking by enjoying a cup of hot tea every afternoon. Bonus: green tea may even be able to help burn fat.

It might sound strange, but research has found that the color blue can actually reduce appetite. Try using blue dishes or spreading a blue tablecloth over your table to feel satisfied with your food more quickly.

Have you ever scarfed down lunch at your desk while working - only to find later that you still felt just as hungry as before? It's hard to feel satisfied with your food if you don't pay any attention to it while eating it. Slow down and savor your food, and you'll find that you feel fuller for longer.

Laughter is the best medicine, and it could even help you shed pounds. It strengthens your core muscles and revs up your circulation. What better reason to enjoy your favorite funny movie soon?

For a completely painless way to burn more calories, keep your bedroom cool at night. Your body will expend extra energy keeping you warm.

This one is tough to explain, but it's true: staying in a dark environment, especially at night, can make you slimmer.
