7 easy tricks to stay slim


Drink tea
Tea contains catechins, antioxidants that accelerate fat burn. White and green brews contain the highest amount of catechins, so get brewing!

Workout in the morning
Breaking a sweat in the A.M. will help you trim down faster. Exercising before breakfast improves glucose tolerance, which spurs your body to shed fat.

Join the breakfast club
Lifelong early eaters have a waistline about 2 inches smaller than breakfast skippers. A morning meal will rev up your metabolism and may help you lower your cholesterol.

Savor your food
Eating slowly can help you stay slim. People who eat slower create more fullness hormones than those that eat faster. Whenever you can, ditch distractions like the television, so you can concentrate on enjoying your food.

Become a creature of habit
Eating at the same time every day could help you drop pounds. Make it a habit to sit down for breakfast, lunch, and dinner around the same time.

Start with water
Drinking two cups of water before meals helps you lose more weight. Water is filling and may not easy as much with some water in your belly. So enjoy a few cups of water while you prep a meal or before your entrée arrives to keep your calories in check.

Step on the dreaded scale
The habit helps you stay at a stable weight or helps you stay on track of your dieting goals. Spotting scale swings early allows you to tweak your eating and exercise routine before pounds pile up.
