Losing excess body fat is easier than it appears to be. Whilst ingesting less and working out more looks pretty easy to do, as individuals you are always faced with the situation of either ingesting too little food and being plagued by hunger pangs and a weak metabolic rate or working out non-stop only to find hours later that your hunger is forcing you consume everything you have lose.

If any of the above overview sounds like you, then the upcoming techniques constructed by leading dieticians can help you to lose those excess lbs without having to make major modifications to your diet.

1. Consume soup before a meal – whether you’d prefer to do this before lunch or tea, studies point to the conclusion that ingesting a half a can of soup 30 minutes before your chosen meal can help you to consume less. The key is to consume it quite warm so you eat it slower as this will help your body to absorb its nutrients it more efficiently – thus boosting your metabolism – and more importantly trick your brain into believing you are full. NOTE: do not consume a cream based soup as this will be higher in calories and fat.

2. Don’t eat a lot before bed - there is more to losing weight than monitoring your calorie intake and burn. The types of meals you consume can also impact on your weight. Trials by dietician Fugh-Berman suggests that ingesting sugary snacks such as a take-away up to 30 minutes before fall asleep can lower your calorie burn and boost fat storage during the night.

3. Pretend you live in the city - it is a well-known fact that people from the city are less prone to weight gain than those who don’t live in the city due to their regular levels of ‘accidental walking’. From walking a few blocks to grab their dinner to running a physical task, accidental walking can easily be included into your schedule and fortunately for you barely feels like exercising.

You don’t have to be a city dweller either. Simply make the decision to use stairs instead of lifts, to parking a couple of streets from the store so you have to walk or spring clean your house more and all this unmonitored walking will help you to experience to increased calorie burn.
