3. 2.Order Your Coffee Black Skip the cream and sugar in your cup of joe, and opt for it black to help you lose weight fast. Black coffee has zero calories, and it can help you burn calories faster. According to a study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior, the average metabolic rate of people who drank caffeinated coffee was 16 percent higher than that of those who drank decaf. 3.Swap Your Soda for Unsweetened Tea Sugary sodas are terrible for you and are likely to pack on the pounds. One can of Coke contains 140 calories, and 39 grams of sugar—more than your total daily amount! Swap instead for unsweetened tea, hot or iced. Tea has no calories and has its own fat-melting properties.

4. 4.Grab a Reusable Water Bottle Instead of constantly refilling the same throw-away bottle over and over, grab a BPA-free bottle, preferably one made of glass or aluminum. Not only is this better for your waistline, but carrying a bottle around with you will prompt you to drink more H2O throughout the day.

5. Squeezing in some refreshing lemon will not only help you drink more water; it also has detox benefits which are sure to help you lose weight fast. Lemons are rich in polyphenols, which are compounds that contain antioxidants. A study in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry found that mice who were fed lemon polyphenols were less likely to gain weight and accumulate body fat. 6.Grab a Smaller Plate Trade your large dinner plate for a smaller salad plate, and eat your meals off of it. By eating off a smaller plate, you're more likely to eyeball more accurate portions. You're also likely to trick your brain into thinking you're eating more, thereby feeling fuller, quicker.

6. 7.Go to Bed Earlier Sleeping for more than five hours a night might seem like a luxury for some, but it can have a serious impact on your overall health. Not getting the recommended 7-8 hours of shut-eye a night puts you at risk for fatigue the next day, which means you're more likely to crave and snack on high- calorie comfort food. Try to go to bed sooner so you can get a little more sleep, which will help you eat less. And to blast fat even faster, don't miss these essential ways to boost your metabolism. 8.Swap Your White Bread for Whole Grain Refined white breads are simple carbohydrates that your body processes as sugar, and can really hinder your weight-loss efforts. Whole grain bread, on the other hand, is chock-full of slimming fiber and can help you feel fuller,

7. longer. Just be sure to read your labels. "If the ingredients at the top of the ingredient list read sugar, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, white or wheat flour, these foods contain mostly simple carbs and should be limited," Rebecca Lewis, RD, told us. "A food is only considered a whole grain if the first ingredient on the packaging says, 'whole grain' or 'whole wheat.'" 9.Make Your Sandwich Open-faced Another way to trim carbs and calories and lose weight fast is by making your sandwich open-faced. Opting for one slice of bread instead of two will save you 70-90 calories, and leaves you more room to pile it high with healthy toppings like lettuce, tomato, sprouts, and avocado. Still hungry? Pair your sandwich with a side of baby carrots or bell pepper strips. The water and fiber in the veggies will fill you up and help with your weight-loss efforts.

8. 10.Eyeball Portion Sizes You don't need to bust out the measuring cups to properly portion out your food: A serving size of meat is roughly the size of a deck of cards or the size of the palm of your hand. Your entire fist should be the size of a serving of veggies (although the more, the better!). A serving of fat, such as butter or coconut oil, should be the size of your thumb. Your carb serving should be no bigger than what can fit in your cupped hand. For other ways to eyeball your proper serving sizes, check out what portion sizes actually look like. 11.Take Your Vitamins If you're eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, odds are you are getting the necessary vitamins and minerals you need to help boost weight- loss and lose weight fast. But it's also a good idea to take vitamins that can supplement your diet; B vitamins (especially B2 and B12) can boost energy, vitamin D can regulate appetite and aid in weight loss, and magnesium can trigger lipolysis, a process where your body releases fat from where it's stored.

9. 12.Write it Down While you're enjoying your meal or snack, be sure to take a few seconds to jot it down. Whether you prefer the old school pen-and-journal approach or a food app like MyFitnessPal, recording what you eat can help you cut back on calories. 13.Stand at Work One of the easiest ways to burn some extra calories is to get up from your chair at work; standing burns 50 more calories per hour than sitting, according to a British study. If you are lucky enough to have a standing desk, make sure you utilize it. If not, you can easily make your own by stacking books or boxes on your desk and standing up to work. At the very least, make sure you're taking a break every hour to stand up and stretch, and possibly go for a walk around the office. Every bit of movement counts!

10. 14.Go Nuts Simply popping a few almonds in your mouth could help you shed pounds, and not just because almonds are better for you than, say, candy. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that eating 1.5 ounces of almonds a day reduced belly and leg fat. And another study of overweight adults found that people who ate ¼ cup of almonds for 6 months had a 62 percent greater reduction in weight and BMI. 15.Keep Healthy Snacks Within Reach

11. If you keep your purse, car, and office desk stashed with healthy snacks, you'll be less tempted to hit the vending machine or drive-thru. Try raw almonds, bananas, or one of our Eat This-approved nutrition bars for a satisfying and nutrient-dense option to feed those hunger pangs. 16.Find the Perfect Pair Of carbs and protein, that is. Carbs certainly aren't the enemy; you can totally enjoy carbs and still lose weight. The trick is to choose something complex (like brown rice, quinoa, or whole grain bread) or something refined (like white rice, white pasta, and white bread), and pair it with a protein. So if you're having crackers for a snack, make sure you also eat some almonds or a stick of string cheese. "I always incorporate a protein and carbohydrate at every meal," Jim White, RD, ACSM Health, and owner of Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios told us. "It can curb your appetite and it slows down the glycemic index of some of your higher sugar foods."

12. 17.Set Out Your Sneakers the Night Before Getting up early for an a.m. workout is always tough, especially as you slog through getting dressed before the sun rises. Leaving your sneakers out within view of your bed will make it easier to get out of bed, and remind you of why you're waking up early in the first place. Plus, setting out your entire workout ensemble will cut down on getting ready time, so you can get dressed and leave the house before you have time to change your mind.
