Lose Weight With Fat Burning Foods and Lifestyle Changes

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have a few pounds too many? Too lazy or too busy to work out or diet? Here's how to lose some weight and hardly try!

Steps

1. Most likely you are fat because of excess water weight! When you don't get enough water your body goes into "desert mode" and stores the water in your body for later use when you really need it. If you drink a gallon a day, you may very well lose a pound in two days!
   
2. Eat fat-burning foods. They help convert body fat into energy. Among these are:
   
   • Cayenne pepper
     
   • Cinnamon
     
   • Ginger
     
   • Citrus fruit
     
   • Apples and berries
     
   • Soy
     
   • Bananas
     
   • Dairy
     
   • Oatmeal
     
   • Yams or Sweet Potatoes
     
   • Fish
     
   
   
3. Make little changes in your lifestyle. These all add up:
   
   • Always take the skin off your poultry before you eat it!
     
   • Drain french fries thouroughly before consumption
     
   • Blot your pizza with a napkin, you can cut up to a tablespoon of grease.
     
   • Avoid soda and Capri Suns. These are chock full of sugars. Very bad. Drink herbal teas and fruit juices instead.
     
   • Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
     
   • Park as far away from the building as possible.
     
   • Eat at least five to six times a day. It helps speed up your metabolism.
