4. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water, as water alone can help you lose weight. A 2012 study found that people who consumed 2 cups of water before a meal for 12 weeks lost an average of 4.5lbs more than those who did not drink water before meals.

If you don’t like to drink plain water, add a slice of lemon or cucumber to add a nice taste. Coconut water is also a great choice, especially after a workout as it helps replace electrolytes and water lost while exercising.
