Simple Things To Do To Lose Weight

1. Drink More Water

You must have a glass of water before a meal and then another one during the meal. This will help cut down on calories without feeling hungary. Drinking water first in the morning is also a great way to get you day started. Water also helps to flush out toxins.

How much water should you drink to lose weight ?             
The most common recommendation is to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. This should be a good starting point.



2. Sleep well (minimum 7 hours a day)

So if you have sleeping problems, you should address this. Regular exercise can help with this. Avoid caffeine or stimulants beyond the mid-afternoon. Certain herbal teas, such as chamomile and skullcap can also help with sleep.
