Neway...had some lil bits of tips I read from some posh mags...
- Eat breakfast (never seem to work for me)...breakfast boost metabolism for the day.
- Eat 5 small portion meals a day instead of 3 huge ones.
- Drink unsweetened black coffee rather than indulging on a cuppa hot chocolate.
- Make Sundays diet-free if you are dieting the whole week. It has psychological benefits which helps convince your body its not starving.
- Apples, apples, apples. A research shows that one who eats an apple before every meal actually speed up weight loss (:S not quite interested in trying).
- Make orange juice your enemy. Make oranges your friend. Orange juice contain higher levels of sugar compared to a decent orange fruit.
- Don't eat only when your tummy calls for food. You tend to eat more.
- High fibre whole-grain bread is healthier and has an appetite-suppressing effect while plain white bread is an appetite simulator(ooo..).
- Eat yourself slim - chew food slowly and you'll eat less in the long run.
- A lil work out always help ;)...so sneak more exercise into your busy day by adding a quick five-min press up and sit-up session in the morning or at nite or any time you find yourself doing nothing productive. Studies show that raising your heartbeat twice a day as opposed to once results in bigger boost to your metabolism and burn more calories.
