Here are 21 tips that can supplement broader advice on losing weight. You don’t have to complete the full checklist every day – you don’t have to hit any.
1 — Preload with water
Coldwater boosts your metabolism. Have two cups before each meal to also help you feel more full.
2 — Preload with ‘negative calorie’ foods
Just changing the order in which you eat your foods can have a meaningful metabolic impact. Starting each meal with an apple, light soup or salad may also later reduce your appetite for other, high-calorie-density foods.
3 — Enjoy undistracted meals
Don’t eat while watching TV or playing on your phone.

7 — Black cumin
