1. Water instead of juice
Many people forget that drinks also have calories. Some even have a lot. At the top of the list are fruit juices, beer, and of course all kinds of sugary drinks. While fruit juices have some vitamins and minerals along with the calories, drinks with artificial sweeteners contain very few healthy ingredients, even if they boast added vitamins. Artificial vitamins are dead vitamins and are of no benefit.

One more thing to know about water: pure water is the only liquid that stays in the tissues, thus cleansing the body, improving metabolism, and enhancing the functioning of internal organs.

2. Say no to bread and pasta
White rice, bread, pasta, and other baked goods have a lot of carbohydrates, which cause fat accumulation in the body. It is much better to eat healthy vegetables instead. The problem lies only with simple carbohydrates, which quickly turn into sugar and accelerate fat accumulation. Complex carbs, on the other hand, act similarly to fats in the body (the body metabolizes them over several hours) and are therefore much less harmful.

There is a simple trick to turn simple carbohydrates into complex ones. If you can't give up, say, potatoes, it is much better to eat potato salad. You can also significantly reduce the amount of simple carbs in rice if you cook it the day before, let it sit overnight, and then just reheat it the next day.

3. Physical activity
Too much exercise is not good for the body either, as it can lead to overload shock. The optimal amount of exercise is enough to burn 200 to 300 calories, then take a one to two-hour break and repeat the exercise. If you do this 3 to 4 times a day, you will lose 1000 calories a day just through exercise. It seems like a lot, but keep in mind that to lose one kilogram, you need to burn 7700 calories. That's why losing weight is so hard...

4. Coffee
Coffee can also be a very useful tool for weight loss, but only if it is without milk and sugar. Just take a sip of coffee before working out, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then start exercising. Coffee improves metabolism, increases endurance, and most importantly, boosts the amount of burned calories by up to 3 times!

5. Half an hour more sleep
You can also lose weight by sleeping more. If you go to bed at least half an hour earlier every day, your digestion will improve, which is crucial for any healthy weight loss. There is no weight loss without healthy digestion, and your body will be more relaxed, full of strength and energy in the morning. Just one morning of stress without breakfast can undo all the effort you put in this week to shed those extra pounds.
