Eat high-fibre meals. Foods high in fiber can help you feel fuller for longer, which is ideal for reducing weight. Fruits and vegetables, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice, pasta, and beans, peas, and lentils are all high in fibre. Add some seeds to your daily meal plan and enjoy them as a topping on yogurt or cereal. 7. Drink plenty of water. Water is essential for moving nutrients through your body and removing waste products. It helps maintain healthy skin, bones, and teeth, and provides necessary fluids to digest food properly. Drinking enough water each day is important for getting rid of excess fat. Without sufficient water in your body, it's harder for your muscles, organs, and brain to function normally. This can lead to feeling tired, having trouble concentrating, and developing bad habits like smoking or using drugs to keep yourself awake. 8. Limit your caffeine intake. Caffeine comes from coffee, tea, cola, cocoa, jitterbugs, and energy drinks. It stimulates the nervous system and increases blood pressure and heart rate-all things you don't want when trying to lose weight. If you must take caffeine, try to limit yourself to no more than 100 milligrams per day. That's about two cups of coffee 9. Reduce your stress level. Stress can cause your body to produce more cortisol - a hormone that makes you hold on to weight.
