Stay in shape and lose weight with these health tips. 1. The best way to get the perfect body is not by getting skinny is by not eating but by exercising more to get stronger. 2. It’s a good idea to stay away from white foods such as bread, rice, pasta, sugar, and flour because they are made up of refined carbs and empty calories. 3. Why not eat more broccolis because it cleanses the liver and helps to fight cancer. Plus you can get more calcium off it than milk. 4. Thinking about it you should also get vitamin D in your diet to lose weight by controlling appetite and helping fat cells become more metabolically active. 5. Make sure to drink lots of water because hunger is often disguised as thirst and it boosts your metabolism. 6. It has been researched that drinking green tea helps to protect against heart disease and even some cancers. So try to get some of that also. 7. It’s important to focus more on nutrients and not the calories and its said brain is looking for nutrients, not calories, and will prod you to eat until you're satisfied. 8. Finally make sure to always eat breakfast because if you don't eat right when you wake up it can slow your metabolism to compensate. 11
