Here are 7 Easy Tips for a Slimmer Body
1. Make Water Your Go-to Drink:
Water was the only drink that man used to go-to till he got his hands on juices, soda, cola and alcohol. They got so much leverage over the plain-old (healthy) alternative that water was just not a drink anymore. It’s time to put back the star in focus-yes, its water.
Drink water after you wake up, before your meals, after your meals and also in between. It will stop cravings and overeating and that means a slimmer body, isn’t it?
