Diet Tips for Weight Loss

  • Drink Water, Especially Before Meals It is often claimed that drinking water can help with weight loss — and that’s true. Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24–30% over a period of 1–1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more calories.
  • Eat Eggs For Breakfast Studies show that replacing a grain-based breakfast with eggs can help you eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours as well as lose more weight and body fat.
  • Drink Coffee (Preferably Black) Studies show that the caffeine in coffee can boost metabolism by 3–11% and increase fat burning by up to 10–29%. Just make sure not to add a bunch of sugar or other high-calorie ingredients to your coffee. That will completely negate any benefits.
  • Drink Green Tea Like coffee, green tea also has many benefits, one of them being weight loss. Though green tea contains small amounts of caffeine, it is loaded with powerful antioxidants called catechins, which are believed to work synergistically with caffeine to enhance fat burning.
  • Eat More Vegetables and Fruits Vegetables and fruits have several properties that make them effective for weight loss. They contain few calories but a lot of fiber. Their high water content gives them low energy density, making them very filling. Studies show that people who eat vegetables and fruits tend to weigh less.
  • Go for Low-Carb Diet If you want to get all the benefits of carb restriction, then consider going all the way and committing to a low-carb diet. Numerous studies show that such a regimen can help you lose 2–3 times as much weight as a standard low-fat diet while also improving your health
