HYDRATE.
Keep those fluids coming! It sounds paradoxical but there is sound science behind this tip. Being dehydrated causes the body to hoard water, leading you to carry up to four excess pounds around your midsection. Aim for at least eight cups of water or other fluids daily.
Besides H20, high-water foods like fruits and veggies are also a good option to replenish your body’s water stores.
These water-rich foods will also fill you up faster, curbing cravings and mid-day snacking. Start your meal with soup or salad. Be smart about timing your meals.
Start with a pre-dinner sliced crudity and spicy hummus. The combo of capsaicin (a spice in hot peppers) and the chickpeas’ soluble fiber can help curb hunger, allowing you to graze gracefully when the mains arrive.

REGULATE.
Satiating our late-night cravings may just take up the bulk (pun intended) of all of our weight gain. Anything you ingest after midnight takes a longer time to break down in our system, as it is programmed to be in ‘sleep mode’.
Where does all the junk food go then, if not broken down and digested? To your thighs, arms, love handles….never the boobs or the butt sadly. There used to be no means whatsoever of regulating your appetite other than waterboarding yourself full of plain water…until now, that is.
The Skinny Jab is a portable injectable pen that you can bring anywhere with you, for your anytime dosage of appetite regulation. This pen contains an FDA-approved version of a natural hormone in our bodies that regulates hunger, making it possible for you to feel full – and away from the fridge.

REFRIGERATE.
Not a new technology, the fat-freezing procedure formally called cryolipolysis was first discovered after, rumor has it, doctors noticed that children who ate a lot of ice pop experienced fat degradation in their cheeks. Fat is more temperature-sensitive than your skin and goes through the cell death process before your skin does.
Approved by the FDA in 2010, cryolipolysis procedures like the Onda Coolshape has been used to diminish love handles and other unsightly body bulges without surgery.
Every session results in about a 20% reduction of fat. And while results are not comparable to that of surgical liposuction, fans of this procedure say that they see good results after 4-5 sessions.
