The following are just a few of the many weight loss tips and tricks that we can use to help boost our weight loss and improve our chances of reaching our weight loss goals.

Beautiful With Blueberries – Scientists in the U.S. carried out a recent study into blueberries’ health benefits. Researchers found that if rats were given meals enriched with blueberries, they lost fat from their stomachs. Rats share much genetic similarity to humans and scientists from the University of Michigan hope they have implications for human health. In the tests, researchers used freeze-dried blueberries crushed into a powder. The rats’ food contained just two per cent of the preparation. The effect is thought to be due to the high level of phytochemicals – naturally occurring antioxidants – that blueberries contain. Lead researcher Mitchell Seymour, of the university’s Cardioprotection Research Laboratory, said: ‘Blueberry intake affected genes related to fat-burning and storage.

Drink Coffee – Coffee reduces your appetite, increases your metabolism, and gives you a shot of antioxidants. A study published in the journal, ‘Physiology & Behavior’, found that the average metabolic rate of people who drink caffeinated coffee is 16 percent higher than that of those who drink decaf.

Careful To Get Your Calcium – A recent study revealed that women who consumed diets poor in calcium had more body fat and bigger waistlines than those who consumed moderate or large amounts of calcium. A second study showed that the more people reduced their consumption of dairy products over the six-year period examined, the more weight and body fat they gained and the bigger their waistlines grew. Ensure that your diet includes a daily amount of low fat dairy, such as yoghurt or semi-skimmed milk or lower fat cheeses.

Don’t Forget Your Fish Oil! – In a recent study, dieters who ate salmon felt fuller 2 hours later than those who either didn’t eat seafood or had cod, a fish with little fat. The researchers found that eating foods high in omega-3s, increased blood levels of leptin, a hormone that promotes satiety. If you don’t like fish, you can take fish oil capsules for the same effect.

Pine Nut Oil – A 2006 study revealed that pine nut oil supplementation to the diets of 18 women resulted in a “29% reduction in the desire to eat” and a 36% drop in food intake scores. ( nearly 40% reduction on food intake!). The study also revealed that appetite suppressing hormones increased, particularly CCK, which increased 60% and remained as long as four hours after eating! This would mean that the appetite suppressing effects of pine nut oil would be in effect for four hours after taking them.
