3 Secret Tips to Effortlessly Shed Pounds

GOOD POSTURE - It may sound like a no brainer that standing tall will instantly make you look thinner, but it has a long term benefit for your waistline aside from minimizing back aches, and making you visually ten pounds leaner. When you have good posture your body burns up to 10 percent more calories than it would if you slouched all day long. It may be a bit uncomfortable to straighten out your spine at first, but after you get used to it you will automatically fall into the proper position. Have you ever seen your favorite actress on the Red Carpet slumping her shoulders down while she struts her stuff ? I bet not.

DRINK HERBAL TEAS - To be more specific Green tea. Green tea is known to rev up your metabolism because of its high levels of Caffeine. Now we all know that caffeine can make us a bit jumpy and act like we had an entire container of pixie sticks but Green tea is the exception to this. Unlike coffee , green tea does not raise our heart rate ,the main reason why we often have caffeine overload whilst downing four consecutive cups of coffee. Green tea does not have a mild flavor ... at all. Green tea has a very pungent flavor , so you may want to add some sugar to this. My personal recommendation is Splenda , which brings me to my next point.

SPLENDA - Splenda is an artificial sweetener that packs quite a punch per tiny packet. Splenda has ZERO calories! this means that you can have your iced tea sweetened, you can save crucial calories on your morning capuccino (that you absolutely can not live without , no matter how serious you are about losing weight). Personally Splenda has been a godsend to me. I am an avid coffee drinker and i refuse to kick my habit. To have my thrice daily coffee fix I drink an iced black coffee with 4 packets of splenda. This helps save over 45 calories per cup , which can add up fairly quickly. Lets say you have a cup of coffee each morning for a year , and replace sugar with Splenda , over the course of one year you will have saved 16,740 calories that is roughly 6 lbs you can lose in one year for just doing this one simple thing.
