A
This is not a diet.It’s a simple way to lose weight.And you don’t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym.It’s about balancing (平衡) calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits.You just form some habits that lean people have.Stick with them,and you’ll become thin.
·Wake-up
When your eyes open,sit up slowly without using your hands.With legs straight out,bend forward until you feel a stretch(舒展) in your back.Hold and then use your abs(腹部肌肉) to lower yourself flat.Rest and repeat two more times.It will burn about 10 calories.
·Startwithsoup
When you have your meal,order a clear soup,and have it before having the main food.It can save twice the calories.Besides,you’ll feel fuller,so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.
·Anapple (ormore) aday
Apples are packed with fibre and water,so your stomach will want less.The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
·Standupandwalkaround
Every time you take the phone,stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more per day than thin people.This trick is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.
Use these tricks.With these small changes,you will have a big weight loss.
