Are there faster ways to lose weight? Yes, there are!

 

*Drink water

       Ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. With adequate (充足的) water intake, your body will be able to metabolize(新陈代谢) fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes before your meal, you will feel full once you start eating.

 

*Eat 5 times a day

       Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please don‘t skip (跳过) this meal, as you’ll end up swallowing (吞咽) everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don‘t need to gobble up (狼吞虎咽) five large meals. Eat slowly so your body doesn't crave more food．

 

*Use weights

       Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can‘t expect to sit on the sofa all day, sip (小口喝) water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle (肌肉) and your metabolism rate (率) will increase. You'll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop．

 

*Smaller bowls

       It‘s better to replace (替换) the huge bowls you usually use for small ones－when food starts to fall off, you‘ll know it’s enough. Use bowls that have dark colors. Dark blue will be your best choice, since it can fight off your appetite (食欲). Avoid red/orange/yellow colors in your dining area－these colors make you feel hungry．

 

*Read between lines

　　Food and drink products (产品) are all out to get you. They scream “Buy me! Buy me!” They could be “fat free” but still have a lot of calories. You need to analyze (分析) the nutrition label (营养成分表) on the cover. Find out what‘s good for you and what isn’t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched (含有丰富卡路里的)．

 

*Don't punish yourself

       Go easy on yourself at least one day a week. If you begin to dislike your diet, then there‘s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle．
