5 Weight Loss Tips That Are Actually Evidence Based
The weight loss industry is full of myths. People are often advised to do all sorts of crazy things, most of which have no evidence behind them. There are so many fad diets out there and that is the reason yo-yo dieting is a real issue in the weight loss world.
However, over the years, scientists have found a number of strategies that seem to be effective.
Below are 5 Evidence Based Weight Loss Tips
1) 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
2) Drink Coffee (Preferably Black) - Coffee has been unfairly demonized. Quality coffee is loaded with antioxidants and can have numerous health benefits. Studies show that the caffeine in coffee can boost metabolism by 3–11% and increase fat burning by up to 10–29%
3) Portion Control - Portion control — simply eating less — or counting calories can be very useful, for obvious reasons. Studies show that keeping a food diary or taking pictures of your meals can help you lose weight. You already know we are big believers in portion control and food diaries!!!
4) Keep Healthy Food Around You In Case You Get Hungry - If you speak with me regularly you always hear me say "Set yourself up for success", and this is exactly what I mean. Keeping healthy food nearby can help prevent you from eating something unhealthy if you become excessively hungry.
5) Take Probiotics- we recommend you take probiotics to help clean out your gut. Probiotics have been shown to reduce fat mass. It allows the gut and the brain to communicate positively and limits the "snaccident" cravings.
