DIET TIPS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD 

» Skip a meal...sometimes: To lose weight, you have to follow a simple formula: Expend more calories than you consume. Skipping a meal once or twice a week can help you do that. Skip lunch, not breakfast.

 
» Work out pre-breakfast: After a night of sleeping, your body's fuel comes from stored fat. Workout on an empty stomach, and eat a carb and protein breakfast afterward, like eggs and a pita.

» Get a java jolt: Coffee and other caffeinated beverages increase your heart rate, so your body burns extra calories. And caffeine reduces your appetite. The downside: It will inhibit your ability to tell when you're full.

» Sweat in sub-temps. Your body has to work harder to keep you warm in chilly weather, so you burn more calories. Make it an outdoor workout.

» Sip a shake: Shakes are often pumped full of air, tricking your stomach into thinking it's full so you eat less. Just make sure it's a low-cal shake, or you're defeating the purpose.
