Here are the top get selected from some of the latest research:
1. Water. A new study suggests that drinking water actually speeds up weight loss. Researchers in Germany found that subjects in the study of their metabolism (the rate at which calories are burned increased) by 30 percent after drinking approximately 17 liters of water. Water is also a natural appetite suppressant that banishes bloat as it flushes toxins and sodium. Drinking enough water will also help keep you confuse thirst for hunger. So drink up! Make sure you start your day with a great big glass of water and drink all day not just all in one time.
2. Green Tea. Studies show that green tea extracts increases metabolism and may aid in weight loss. This mood-enhancing tea has also reported that the anti-cancer properties and cardiovascular disease prevention help. It is also a trendy drink among weight-conscious celebrities. You might have noticed that my green tea products, but this could be a really great herb and it tastes good too!
3. Soup. Eat less and burn fat faster by having a bowl of soup as an appetizer or a snack. According to a Penn State University study, soup is a super appetite suppressant because it is made from a hunger-satisfying combination of liquids and solids. In the study, women chose one of three 270-calorie snacks before lunch. Women who had chicken and rice soup as a snack consumed an average of 100 fewer calories than those in the study who opted for a chicken and rice casserole or frying pan and a glass of water. I used to joke that soup is a meal, but it really fills you die for very few calories and remember that if you eat a food with great taste will really satisfy.
