1. A glass of water after getting up
The morning glass of water after getting up in the morning is mandatory for anyone who wants to lose a few kilos. Why? The water boosts your metabolism and digestion. It is best to drink the water lukewarm and mixed with apple vinegar. In addition, enough water displaces the feeling of hunger, as thirst is often simply confused with hunger.

2. Low sugar fruit as a snack
Very few people manage to eat three meals a day in a disciplined manner – without snacks in between. The snacks can stay: but calorie bombs should be replaced by low-sugar fruit. For example, raspberries or berries in general, melons, rhubarb, peaches, grapefruits and kiwis contain less than eight percent sugar.
Whether for breakfast or just a spoonful before each meal: oat bran is ideal for losing weight. Not only does it bind a large part of the fats that you take in through your food, it also transports them directly out of your body. Oat bran also has the advantage that it enlarges like a sponge in the stomach, so that the stomach is filled and satiation is initiated earlier.
4. Slim sleep
Nothing easier than that! The more you sleep, the less cravings you have. The body reacts to lack of sleep by releasing the hunger hormone ghrelin and simultaneously reducing the release of the satiety hormone leptin. And that makes you understandably fat. So: always have a good night’s sleep – your skin will thank you, too.
5. Miracle water
Coconut water is considered an anti-cellulite agent in Brazil, as it compensates for nutrient deficiencies and triggers fat deposits. The slimming effect, on the other hand, is provided by lemon water, which has positive effects on digestion and detoxification of the body. Supposedly, the citrus drink is even supposed to suppress your appetite for sweets if taken regularly.
6. Sweating it out
You don’t have to go to the gym to sweat it out. A sauna or a Turkish hammam are just as suitable. Sweating stimulates your metabolism, which means that you burn energy. By the way, if you are a little trained, you sweat faster. Ergo: you lose a lot more weight.
7. Massage yourself slim!
Many women suffer from cellulite. You can get rid of it either by doing a lot of sport and using a lot of creams – or by massaging. Studies have shown that a massage can significantly reduce the fat on your bottom and legs. Special massage grips and pressure techniques loosen adhesions in the tissue and stimulate the blood and lymph flow. Try it out!
8. Eating right needs to be learned
The key to losing weight is proper nutrition. If you want to reduce fat by eating, you have to rely on natural protein sources in the form of eggs, lean meat, yogurt and fish. Protein saturates longer and promotes fat burning. Avoid carbohydrates in the evening and rely on (anti-flatulent) vegetables and fruit.
9. More fun in bed
Did you know that you burn an average of 240 calories during intimacy? No? Then maybe that’s what drives you to do more bedtime acrobatics. Your partner will surely support this weight loss tip…
10. Magnesium
People who have magnesium deficiency are often tired, have headaches and are constantly hungry. And this in turn leads to eating more and rarely resorting to healthy foods. To prevent a (unnoticed) deficiency, you should rely on the following foods: Spinach, almonds, lentils, banana and wholemeal.
