3. Play Tetris

Yes, really. These building blocks can actually stop your cravings, according to recent research.

The 2015 study published in the journal Addictive Behaviours found people who played Tetris for three minutes reduced their cravings by 20%.

That's because the game puts your cognitive focus elsewhere, which distracts you from thinking about food.

4. Go for a stroll

Introducing exercise doesnt mean joining the gym. Just put on some sneakers and go for a 30-minute walk every day.

A Chinese study found that by doing just this you could lose 1.6 inches off your waist in 12 weeks.

5. Get some shut eye

Lack of sleep can trigger the hormone gherkin which will make you want to eat more and lower the levels of the hormone leptin which tells your body when its full.
