Drinking a glass of water mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a number of benefits for the body as well as the mind. Essentially, you can lose weight at about the same rate with diet or exercise, if you're able to create the necessary calorie deficit. However, most people have an easier time reducing calorie intake to lose weight than exercising to burn the calories. For perspective, you can cut 250 calories from your diet by swapping your fancy coffee drink for black coffee, but to burn 250 calories, you need to jog for about 30 to 40 minutes depending on your weight.
Sharing your favourite dinner recipe on Facebook, chatting with a friend about what you had for dinner, or even snapping pics of your meals and posting them to Instagram can help you shed weight. Why? It isn't the act of sharing what you ate that makes this so effective—so no worries if you're one of those who hates food pictures on social media—but rather it is the act of remembering what you ate, according to a study from Oxford. The researchers found that recalling the details of recent meals caused people to eat less at their next meal. So feel free to rhapsodize about that amazing brunch you made; your waistline will thank you.
