Drink water before meals. A 2015 study showed people who drank 500ml (pint) of water before lunch ate 13% less. That’s free hunger reduction.
Cold water is better. Your body burns a tiny bit of energy warming it up. It’s negligible, but it sounds cool. Say it with authority: “I’m thermoregulating my adipose tissue.”
Don’t Drink Your Dinner
Alcohol is a triple threat. It’s empty calories, makes you hungry, and lowers your inhibitions. One glass of wine = 125 calories. Four glasses = half your daily allowance. Poof. Wasted.
If you must drink, stick to spirits with soda water. Vodka-soda is the official drink of people who are very committed to Halloween costumes in June.
