Want to quickly lose a few pounds? You do not have to starve yourself or make it to the gym more than twice a day to do so!

1. Stop exercising

Research has shown that people who exercise to lose weight unconsciously compensate. Sometimes they even eat more and exercise less.

2. Drinking water before your meal

By drinking half a liter of water before eating, you feel full faster and so you eat less.

3. Drink less alcohol

Alcohol slows your metabolism causing your body to turn energy into fat.

4. Rest well

If you exercise a lot, get enough rest so your muscles can recover. By doing so, you avoid getting injured.

5. Drink tea

The caffeine that is in black and green tea make your metabolism work faster. Also, you get more energy to work out and have less appetite for tasty things.

6. Walk more often

Go by bicycle or walk to the grocery store instead of taking the car there.

7. Don't hold in your stomach

Research has shown that holding stomach in during exercise is not smart. It'll make you seem fatter.

8. Eating with children's cutlery

Because you take smaller bites and spend more time on having a meal, your body needs more time to digest your food. Therefore, you'll feel full faster which then again will cause you to eat less.

9. Fiber all the way!

If you want to lose weight, fiber is your best friend. They burn slower and therefore make you feel fuller and they'll also give you an energy boost!

10. Sleeping in a cold room

Research has shown that you burn about 100 calories per night in a cold room! You'll burn less if it's not cold in there.
