One of these superfoods is hot peppers. This is because capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their kick, heats up your body, which makes you melt additional calories.

"You can get it by eating raw, cooked, dried, or powdered peppers," Lakatos Shames told health.com.

Add as much cayenne or hot sauce as possible to soups, eggs, and meats.

The link between hot peppers, or their active component capsaicin, and weight loss is not new.

It's been well recognised for some time that eating peppers or adding capsaicin to your diet could help you lose weight by boosting thermogenesis, or the rate at which your body burns fat.

Here are three other simple ways you can help beat the bulge without going to the gym:

1. MUNCH ON WALNUTS

Polyunsaturated fats, found in walnuts, can actually help shift the pounds

Sprinkle a handful on your morning porridge, add a scoop to your lunchtime salad or just snack on them throughout the day to help blitz belly fat.

According to a new study, published in PLOS One, getting ready in the dark could be the reason youre struggling to lose weight.

Researchers from Northwestern University got 54 adults in Chicago to wear wrist trackers to record their exposure to light and their sleep habits for a week.

Alongside this, they all kept a food diary so the researchers could count up their calorie intake.

GETTY

They also counted for activity level, age, caloric intake, season and sleep habits.

Results revealed that the earlier in the day the participants were exposed to light, the lower their body mass index (BMI) was.

In fact, BMI rose by a whopping 1.28 points for every hour light exposure was delayed.

So, if you want to lose weight and slash your body fat percentage its best to whip open your curtains as early as possible.

Also, if you work inside away from any natural light make sure you go out for a walk at lunchtime especially in the winter.

Previous studies have revealed that exposure to light can affect your circadian rhythms, which can affect tuner levels so maybe this is an explanation for the weight gain.

You can reverse the slow-down of your metabolism by making a few changes in your lifestyle.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you miss your breakfast, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. A study found that the risk of obesity was 4.5 times higher in the volunteers who skipped meal on a regular basis as compared to those who ate their breakfast. Your breakfast should include a healthy mix of complex carbohydrates and lean proteins. You can eat omelette of one egg or oats. You can also have a teaspoon of fish oil for the breakfast as it is rich in omega-3-fatty acids.

It is advisable to wake up at 7 am every day and go outside. Let the sunlight wake you up. This practice will help you to set your body clock and will help you to stay slim. The morning sunlight is good for your body. (ALSO READLow-carb diets effective for weight loss).

To boost your metabolism, you will have to increase the intensity of your workout. Start by exercising at your normal speed for five minutes and then ramp it up for about 30 seconds, then return to your normal speed. In the next round, increase the intensity for around 60 seconds and then return to the normal speed. Do this 5 times, twice a week.

If you are a coffee lover, its time to switch your drink. Green tea has been shown to boost metabolism and help in losing more belly fat as compared to non-tea drinkers. Green tea contains an antioxidant called catechin that revs up your metabolism.(ALSO READHow to lose weight fast: 11 quick and easy ways to lose a lot of weight fast).

Whole grain contains complex carbohydrate and your body has to work hard to break it down. So, opt for brown rice instead of white. You can also add Jowar, Bajra or Ragi flour to your wheat flour for making roti. This will help you boost your metabolism.

Boost your metabolism: 5 tips to speed up your metabolism - India.com

I used to believe that some event would magically change my life, such as winning the lottery or finding a job that pays more. I was not sure what the event was, but I was hoping that it would happen soon. I wanted to have a better life, but I left it to destiny.

I wanted a quick fix for my mediocre life. I did not realize that my life was mediocre because I was mediocre. I thought that my destiny was already set and that I had no control over it.

Many of us have this mentality, and we want life to be better even though we don't better ourselves. Losing weight, for example, has become a million-dollar industry. There are lotions, belts, easy exercise programs, diets, supplements, surgeries, hormones, therapy, pills, earrings and many other things. A famous publicity slogan is "Give the customers what they're looking for." Therefore, we find that the customer is looking for "fast and easy" even though it neither works nor is sustainable.

Many people want to win the lottery thinking it will get them out of their misery, and others want a fast and easy way to lose weight. Yes, a few do win the lottery and some do lose weight fast, but soon we find these people poor again or regaining the weight or even putting on more weight.

The lesson I learned is very simple: If I want a better life, body, family, business, career, financial status or mind I need to become better than who I am right now.

After 28 years of mediocre life, finally the event that needed to happen happened, but it was not what I had planned. However, what I learned was more important than winning the lottery. I learned that if I wanted an above-average life I needed to become an above-average person. Before this realization, if I would have won the lottery, I would have ended up just like Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson made more than one quarter of a billion dollars, yet he ended up poor. How could he have spent so much money? It's simple: Just like the person who loses weight by surgery or some promising therapy and regains it in months or a couple of years, Mike Tyson did not become above average in his life. He did not develop the habits to maintain what he made.

The lesson I learned is very simple: If I want a better life, body, family, business, career, financial status or mind I need to become better than who I am right now. Hence, if you are looking to lose weight or be financially free or have a better job, you must work on yourself. One of the things that does not seem to work is looking for an extraordinary body, job or life without becoming extraordinary. I was frustrated for many years doing that until I decided to work on myself.

The best investment you can make in life is in yourself. This is so powerful that it's worth repeating: The best investment you can make in life is in yourself. So if you are ready to have a better body, career or life, start working on yourself step by step. Find out what you need to work on to get what you need or want and determine the habits you need to sustain such body, career and overall life.

There is no better life-changing event than the one you are willing to make.

Sandro Torres is owner of Custom Body Fitness in Carbondale, author of the book "Lose Weight Permanently" and a Watch Fit columnist. His column appears on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month in Body & More.

Starting the day with a glass of any brew has over the years been related to a fast weight loss plan. However, Dietitians say these drink won't magically help you shed those extra kilos. In fact, no beverage in and of itself can take off the weight. But there are some brews that, coupled with a healthy lifestyle, can actually give your weight loss efforts a boost.

Here's a list of some of those drinks.

1. Lemon water

Lemon water

When it comes to weight loss, lemon water is helpful.

The polyphenols, which are plant compounds that also act as antioxidants, in lemon peel, some of which are also found in the juice, may help stimulate the liver to burn fat.

However, Lemon juice should not only be taken in the morning, but should be used as a substitute for other beverages that are higher in calories, like coffee with sugar or fruit juices etc.

2. Vegetable juice

Integrating green juice into your regular diet helps you shed the extra kilos naturally because juicing enhances your digestion and elimination system and the accumulated waste leaves your body and makes you more supple and efficient in digesting regular food.

You also stop craving junk foods. You get into the natural habit of declining processed sugar and opting for fruits or raw vegetables instead.

3. Fruit infused water

fruit infused water

Fruits and dietary fibre such as lemon, cucumber, ginger and mint are all infused into the water to make this healthy weight loss drink.

The cucumber is a great anti-inflammatory substance. Ginger is a great fat burner which allows blood vessels to expand leading to better blood circulation and it also boosts metabolism. Due to its rich contents of vitamin C and antioxidants, lemon, alongside burning fat in your body, boosts your energy. Mint not only calms down your cravings but also soothes tummy after you indulge in foods. Water keeps you hydrated.

4. Grape juice

grape juice

Drinking a little amount of grape juice before meals help curb your appetite and improve insulin resistance. Grape is also known to be a natural source of vitamin C, which helps in increasing the metabolism of the body.

5. Water

Water

Drinking a lot of water helps boosts your metabolism, suppresses your appetite, and helps you shed water weight.

Water keeps you full and the feeling of fullness will help you eat less, thus consuming fewer calories for improved weight loss results.

Hugh Jackmanis perhaps better known for his sculpted body than his acting skills (not that we are complaining). A no-nonsense nutrition plan, brutal workout regime and lots of mental strength were the things that transformed him from a man to badass Wolverine. At an age, where things start slowing down, Hugh is scaling new heights. Hugh started training under David Kingsbury for his role as Wolverine and follows a progressive overload body training. He uses loads on the basic bench press, deadlifts, squats and pullups and these weights vary with each set. He also rely on the classic techniques like cicuts and supersets to incinerate fat and exhaust muscles. He does not believe in bulking up. He follows a balanced workout plan and does hard exercise that are not followed by others. The actor is in his best shape ever.(ALSO READHow to lose weight fast: 11 quick and easy ways to lose a lot of weight fast).

Recently, Hugh Jackman was the guest on The Graham Norton Show along with Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen. The actor was on the show to talk about his the upcoming X-Men movie Logan, where he will be playing the clawed mutant for the last time. The actor has played the role of Wolverine since 2000. In the episode of the show, when the host Graham asked Hugh to describe the build up to the day he had to shoot a shirtless scene for the movie, the actor finally revealed the secret to his chiseled look.(ALSO READThese hot photos of fit Indian female bodybuilder Harj Hadani will inspire you to start working out).

The actor said that for a perfect body, he was following a method called dehydration. As per the actor, you can lose around 10 pounds or 4.5 kilos of weight by this method. You will lose the water from under the surface of your skin. To lose weight by this method, you will have to drink a lot of water and then stop drinking water completely. So, as your body is used to urinate a lot due to drinking of water, you will continue urinating even without drinking any water. The food you will eat will also suck the water from your body. This will cause the body to lose water and bring down the weight. The actor drank about 10 liters of water a day and then stopped drinking it 30 hours before the shoot. So, for the next 10 hours, he was urinating frequently.

However the actor has warned against trying this method without supervisionas it is not very healthy. It leads to side effects like headache among other things. He also mentioned that he was eating a meal consisting of steamed chicken and broccoli every two hours to maintain his toned body. He was eating a total of 6500 calories a day.

So while this extreme diet might give you a physique like Hugh Jackman, know that this cannot be taken lightly and must not be done without supervision.

Launching in the UK, the treatment exposes the body to -160 degrees in a liquid nitrogen tank.

The treatment has the potential to increase the metabolic rate to burn a whopping 500 to 800 calories within just 24 hours, compared to the 180 250 calories an average person burns during an hour gym session.

The vapours from the treatment, which starts at a price of 90 and takes 30 minutes per session, are applied to the body part you want to shrink, while a cyro-therapist massages and sculpts the area to encourage the lymphatic drainage.

When the sub-zero temperature covers the skin, the sudden drop in heat stimulates the bodys core temperature receptors.

While the skin continues to feel the freeze the body sends signals back and forth to the brain, which tell it if there is damage to the tissues, or if there is excessive fat cells or cellulite or lack of elasticity, collagen or skin damage.

Its these signals that reduces the density of fat giving the desired loss in body density, according to the providers of the sci-fi treatment.

They also claim the treatment rejuvenates and tightens the skin due to the increased production of collagen.

Although we fully support attending the gym as part of a healthy lifestyle, we know sometimes there isnt the cash flow to do so, said Debra Lister, one of the founders of Cryotherapy UK.

It turns out Kendall chose to paint her living room this specific pink for a scientific reason - to calm her and suppress her appetite.

The 21-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and model was influenced by her friends after they visited an art exhibition.

She wrote on her blog: I decided to paint it [my living room wall] pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the Human Condition exhibition at a former hospital in LA.

They were telling me theres a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the colour choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only colour scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite.

When you are 20, I feel you do not need to worry about metabolism. Your body will be enough active and strong to support you. If not, exercising will be helpful to increase your metabolism. The increase of metabolism operates for as long as the exercise goes on. Use these some simple diet and exercise hacks below that will help you slim down quickly and safely without screwing up your metabolism.

One of the simplest and cheapest ways to make your metabolism strong is to drink water when you wake up. While you are sleeping, your bodys metabolic function slows down unless you woke up in the middle of the night to swig some water.

In a recent research, a person who did a 25-minute workout after having 2-3cups of green tea, have lost an average of two or more pounds including belly fat.

According to a study, men or women who drink milk daily are more likely to lose weight. Protein in milk helps in muscle growth too.

Breakfastis like a fuel to the body, so do start your day with protein.A high-protein breakfast takes longer to move through the stomach, making one to feel hungry late.

Stress is one of the main cause of slow metabolism. It makes the body to metabolize food more slowly. So quit stress and enjoy your life.

Every month or so, I see it: yet another article telling me the best sex positions for burning sh*t loads of calories.

Because sex is a fun way to exercise, right? More fun than running on a treadmill, anyway.

And we all know that if somethings fun, we should slap a number on it, start timing, and make sure that whatever the activity is, itsproductive, not just enjoyable.

Thats why I know that if I want to tone my bum and legs, I should opt for cowgirl position (even if its total sh*t). If I want to engage my core, doggys the way to go. If I want to build strength, I should do it standing up.

If Im trying to lose weight, I need to make sure the sex Im having is energetic, fast, and with plenty of thrusting. If I really want to do tone up, I can do lunges mid-sex.

This knowledge is, quite frankly, pretty bloody depressing.

The last thing I want to be thinking about during sex is my body-related insecurities, losing weight, and the three pastries I had for lunch.

Sex is supposed to be aboutfun. Its supposed to be about being in the moment, forgetting about everything else, and focusing on whoever youre having sex with and all the pleasure youre (hopefully) feeling.

The second you frame sex as a way to lose weight and stack up your activity count for the day, youre missing the point.

The minute youre timing sex, youre not in the moment.

Once you start choosing positions based on how many calories they burn instead of how good they feel, youre missing out on pleasure.

And if youre viewing sex as a way to fit in some exercise, rather than something you actually want to do just for the fun of it, youre making sex a chore.

Which is a massive shame.

Sex is one of the few pleasures in life that as long as the people doing it are consensual adults and no ones getting hurt we can enjoy without having to worry about doing things right or making sure what were doing is productive.

Sex is something far away from work and all the other errands adults have to do. Its something we do purely for enjoyment (unless were trying to procreate, which is a whole other load of stress).

Trying to smush it into our fitness routines, our calorie counting, and the pressure to always be doingsomethingthats good for us ruins the fun of sex.

Its a great idea to try to make health and fitness fun, and to burn calories doing something you enjoy. And Id never bash anyone for doing that instead of forcing themselves through circuit training or spinning.

But there are some things that need to be kept separate and your fitness routine and sex are part of that.

Because much in the same way that making dancing your exercise routine instead of just something you do for fun makes it feel like a drag, the same is true for sex.

If youre one of those people who loves working out as in, truly, honestly loves the feeling of exercising youre probably not counting calories too closely.

You run because you love the feeling of your feet hitting the pavement. You play football because you love it. Yes, you box because you know its good for you, but also because you love how it makes youfeel.

If youre working out just to tot up a calories-burned count, it feels more like a chore. Youre not thinking: ooh, this is fun. Youre thinking: how much longer do I have to do this until Im done?

And while that may be okay for Zumba (we do all need to get some exercise in, so its okay to do something you dont enjoy just to stay healthy), sex doesnt deserve this kind of disrespect.

How would you feel if the person you were having sex with was tracking it on their Fitbit? How would you feel knowing that while youre enjoying waves of pleasure, your partners timing each thrust, adding up the calories, and telling themselves that theyll be able to skip the oblique twists if they keep going for five more minutes?

Not great, we imagine.

By turning sex into a way to burn calories, we take away the joy of sex for sexs sake. We make it into something we have to do. We turn it into just another thing on our to-do list, because we just cant relax and do nothing that isnt taking us closer to our goals.

Its rude to our partners, who are more than just exercise machines, but more importantly, its a way to cheat yourself out of sexual joy.

Sex is great. Its pure pleasure. Its not something that needs to be done, its not a target to be ticked off or an achievement to unlock.

We need to stop trying to repurpose sex into another way to fulfill our goal-obsessed, pressured needs.

Enjoy the fact that yes, a really great sex session is good for your health. But dont turn it into yet another thing that you track, analyse, and change to burn as many calories as possible.

Keep your calorie counting to where it belongs: when youre eating or when youre doing a workout purely for the sake of working out.

Calorie counting is mostly miserable. Sex is brilliant. Never should the two meet.

Chelsea Pateman, 23, would splash 40 to 50 per order on home delivery Pizza Hut orders with husband Matt and the pair enjoyed gorging on fast food up to four times a week.

The early years practitioner, who scoffed more than half a loaf of white bread, four chocolate bars and four packets of crisps a day, unsurprisingly ballooned to 14st 7lbs.

Chelsea, from Crewe, Cheshire, was mortified when she saw pictures of her huge body after a holiday to Poland - and was inspired to lose a whopping 5st 9lbs in just 15 months.

The stepmum-of-one said: "Matt and I were comfortable in our relationship and we used to binge eat on unhealthy food together.

Soon the couch potato's weight rose to 14st 7lbs and she wore a size 20 to 22.

She enjoyed a family holiday to Majorca in April last year where she wore shorts and a bikini for the first time ever after covering up in leggings on previous beach breaks.

Chelsea now works out three times a week and enjoys cooking healthy curries, casseroles and stews.

"Last year's holiday was the first time I had ever worn a bikini and shorts, I used to wear leggings on the beach and on a previous holiday had to buy cycling shorts for under my dress because my inner thighs were chafing so badly while I walked.

"Now I look back at pictures of myself and can't believe that was me. Everyone says it's amazing and they can't believe how well I have done but I can't really remember being that big any more - all I have now are photographs to remind me.

Does the 5:2 diet actually work and is it safe? One nutritionist spoke to Express.co.uk to discuss the diet.

Explaining how the diet works, Robert Brennan, fitness, lifestyle and nutrition consultant, said: "The 5:2 diet is simply eating what you would normally for five days of the week; and then restricting calorie intake on two days; 500 for women and 600 for men.

It is best not to count calories at all on the five non-fasting days and whilst it is not a requirement of the diet, I have found far greater results when clients, as well as observing the fast days, eat a generally healthy diet, free from processed foods and rich in vegetables and protein with plenty of water.

I wouldnt call this a diet but rather an eating pattern, as it doesnt prescribe what foods to eat.
