All you need in order to lose weight is just some will and a couple of secrets that you can apply to your strategy.
Below you’ll find many excellent advices that you should follow effortless, and you’ll notice that the scale will be showing you great news. If you’re already on a diet, these advices will minimize your effort and just fasten up the results.
Here are the secrets of losing weight fast, with guaranteed results!
1. Combine! Mix half a glass of your favorite juice with mineral water. This way you’ll “cut off” approximately 85 calories/glass and lose about 3 kilograms a year, effortless.
2. Even though you don’t have a sustained physical activity, don’t just sit around in your bed or on your couch. By washing your laundry you’ll lose 68 calories, wetting the flowers = 102 calories and laying the table = 85 calories (these values are established for a 70 kilogram person and for half an hour of activity).
3. Chew gum! Specialists have discovered that by chewing sugar-free gum every day, your metabolism’s rate will increase 20% and you’ll lose about 4 kg per year.
4. Pay for your sweet tooth cravings! If somebody offers you sweets and you accept, put some money aside for every treat you get. When you’ll see how much you “spend” on treats, next time you’re going to say: “No, thanks”! 
5. Eat only small amounts of bonbons or cakes, just for that sweet tooth. If a small cake has 250 calories, a bag of cakes will just manage to flip your diet over.
6. Drink green tea before you work out or before you take a longer walk. The antioxidants it contains “work” along with the caffeine in order to burn down fats faster.
7. Cut down the diet shakes from your list! Even though you get to save calories at a meal by having just a shake, you’ll end up eating more at the next one!
8. Lunching or dining out 5 times per week means eating about 300 extra calories per day comparing to a simple home cooked meal.
9. Learn from the Italians! Use a little olive oil instead of spreading butter on bread. It’s healthier and it actually helps you eat less. Plus you get to “cut off” 52 calories from every slice of bread!
10. Add linseeds! Rich in fibers, linseeds help you control your appetite and they also eliminate unwanted calories. Add these seeds in yoghurt, bread and in salads. 
11. Add the following sauce to your salads: vinaigrette made from half a teaspoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of (balsamic) vinegar, half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a pinch of grated horseradish. It offers a perfect taste with only 20 calories and 1,5 g of fat.
12. Go and take your tests! A woman from 12 has a “lazy” thyroid that slows down her metabolism. Go visit your physician!
13. Buy larger bottles of water. You’ll drink more! Become best friends with your water and take it everywhere you go!
14. Give up cravings! When you feel you’re getting a sweet tooth craving for ice-cream, cookies, pudding, just get a mint or eucalyptus bonbon. Real miracles are going to take place with your cravings: they’ll disappear!
15. Add chili to your foods and salads. This spice will keep you from eating any time sooner.
16. Drink skim milk! The same as water, skim milk will fill up your stomach, but it also contains carbohydrates that will soothe your hunger with a minimum of calories. 
17. When preparing a salad, give up grating celery root, carrots, apples and other vegetables. Just chop them, thus you’ll chew more and be stuffed quicker.
18. If you feel lonely, depressed or sad, call a friend or somebody from the family, don’t start eating cakes!
19. Writing down in a journal all you eat will help you supervise this activity. You don’t have to have everything perfectly written down or checked, the benefit is writing itself!
20. Don’t lay low: just move around, make a fuss about anything! This way you’ll burn 700 calories per day!!!
21. Throw away your remote control! Giving up the use of your TV, garage, and car remote control will help you burn an extra 200 calories per day!
22. Use an oil spray! Instead of pouring oil in your frying pan, use the spray that will just add half a teaspoon of oil to your meals and you’ll end up saving up to 100 calories/use. 
23. Buy pieces and small packs! The bigger the pack of food, the more you’ll be eating (around 44% extra according to research).
24. If you choose to walk, pick a small distance for running (crossing the street for example). You’ll burn more calories and also increase your metabolic rate.
25. Measure foods! It’s so simple to eat too much pasta or rice for example. For having the right amount, you have to measure before you cook. An ideal ratio is of 90 g/200 calories.
26. Choose to watch a horror movie! You’ll be tempted to eat less than at a drama or comedy!
27. If you look at yourself in the mirror while eating, you’ll consume up to 25% less!
28. Before opening an ice-cream can, do a couple of sit-ups or push-ups. Your craving will miraculously pass away and you’ll become conscious about the battle you’re having! 
29. If you crave for a freshly oven baked cake, strongly inhale its smell for about 30 seconds, then take a bite, place the bit on your tongue and feel its taste for about another 30 seconds. Specialists sustain that its smell and taste will help you stop at a single bite.
30. Have soup before your regular meal! When preparing the soup, be careful to chop the vegetables into big pieces, don’t strain them. You’ll be satisfied and eat 20%less.
31. Two slices of pizza equal drinking 3 spoons of hot oil. More pizza, anyone?!?
32. Eat fish! People that eat tuna, mackerel, cod and salmon lose weight faster and ameliorate their metabolic rate. People that are on a fish diet lose weight 20% faster than the ones that don’t eat fish. 
33. Eat “heavy” foods! And we’re not talking about fats or calories! You’ll eat less and with the same satisfaction low caloric products that just weigh more and have a greater volume, like: grapefruits, watermelons, oranges, cooked spinach, peas, and broccoli.
34. Place post-its with encouraging messages everywhere: on the fridge, on the microwave oven, on your computer etc. “Nothing tastes better than success!” or “I’ve come too far to give up just by eating a cake!”
35. Dehydration will lower your metabolism up to 3% (for a 70 kilogram person, meaning 45 calories per day), leading to a 2 kilogram/year weight gain.
