Loosing the Inches!

Titbit from 'Prevention- The Breakthrough Science of Weight Loss' By Dr. R. K. Cooper.
This is great news! Just imagine - small, almost invisible changes in your life will help retain or get you back to that ideal shape. It's not difficult or time-consuming. The very essence of simplicity! Keep reading-
- Ice-water is the secret for boosting metabolism- A German study recently concluded that slowly sipping ice water boosted metabolism - the rate at which you burn calories, by more than 30% for 90 straight minutes. No exercise. No sweating. No dieting. No self-denial.
- Avoid overeating and still get your sweets - If you exceed 500-600 calories at dinner, you venture into the "fat-forming zone." Try postponing dessert by 2 hours. You'll digest most of your dinner, get in physical activity, and not pack on the additional calories of an added "bedtime" snack.
- The amazing anti-hunger hormone - One of your body's most powerful anti-hunger hormones is called cholecystokinin, or CCK. It's found inside your intestinal tract, and it helps signal your brain that you're full. So when CCK is high, you'll probably eat less at a single sitting.
- The fibre factor for weight loss and preventing disease - Adding more fibre to your diet has a stunning, positive impact on your health - and your waistline. It helps lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It helps reduce your risk for heart disease and cancer. For weight loss, high-fibre foods help stabilize your body's blood sugar levels and slow down the fat-making process in every corner of your body.
