Trick Your Body Thin

It may be as easy as replacing your glass of apple juice with an apple. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity reported that people reduced their daily calorie intake by as much as 20% if they substituted a piece of fruit for fruit juice with their lunch. The reason: Chewing stimulates satiety hormones better, said the study authors, while the whole food takes longer for your intestines to process, helping you stay full. The benefit was also observed when participants ate cheese instead of drinking milk.
