There are many ways on how to lose weight. Here are eight techniques to try according to Cosmopolitan.
Cosmo has come up with a fat-torching plan that really will subtract up to 5 pounds from your bod in seven days - without starvation, bizarre supplements, or cutting out entire food groups.
More water!
Water has zero calories and carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect slim-down drink. And strangely, it actually helps flush out excess water weight as well as jump-starts your metabolism. If it's just too boring, add lemon wedges or mint leaves.
Eliminate simple carbs
Try to stay away from simple carbs such as white rice, sandwich rolls, and pasta. These bad guys actually cause bloating.
"Simple carbohydrates wreak havoc on your weight because they're digested very quickly, leaving you hungry and more likely to overeat later," said Jana Klauer, MD, author of "The Park Avenue Nutritionist's Plan."
Move it
Pick a work-out routine that gets your heart rate up to burn calories. Stick to that routine for just 30 minutes a day and you will instantly see results. Not only will it help you slim down, it will also make you stronger and more energetic.
Drink Coffee an Hour Before Working Out
How to lose weight with coffee? For coffee lovers this will be a treat. Just make sure to stick to a cup of black or to just adding skim milk to your cup of joe before you work out. Coffee is known to actually energize.
"You'll burn more calories without realizing you're pushing yourself harder," said Dr. Klauer.
Hit the snooze button for 30 minutes more sleep
"That extra half an hour, whether you sleep 5 hours or 8, can refresh you enough that you will make better food choices and won't feel lethargic and skip the gym," said registered dietician Esther Blum
Also, nothing beats a 7-8 hour sleep. It will boost your metabolism.
Skip the chips (or any food you can sacrifice)
"Cutting out one indulgence - such as the chips you have with lunch or the chocolate dessert you eat after dinner - can subtract a few hundred calories from your diet, which translates into less flab," said Blum.
"Your body won't even notice their absence."
Learn your angles when taking photos
How to lose weight in photos? Sometimes it's just a matter of projecting and turning to a different angle when you want to look slimmer in photos.
"Push your chin forward, hold your arms away from your body, and turn slightly sideways from the camera with one foot in front of the other," Cosmo shared.
Don't Slouch!
"Keeping your spine rigid and your shoulders back while sucking in your belly toward your spine gives you a slimmer, more streamlined middle," said Cosmo
