<div class="ExternalClassD6DF371C5DD44D2CB6ECDDECAA9CA5B4"><p>Ever substituted one of your daily meals with some plain water to feel full, hoping it'll be enough to pacify your grumbling stomach? Or ignored the hunger cramps so that your body gets used to getting less food?</p><p>If so, you probably think the only way to lose weight is to starve yourself.

<strong>Here are three </strong>weight loss tips which will help you to develop healthy eating habits.</p><h2>1. Reduce Sweet and Caffeinated Drinks</h2><p>Recent studies have found that in general, it's better to avoid any sweet (sodas) or caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea), as they can contain way too much sugar, or they can disrupt your metabolism.
</p><p>In general, you shouldn't drink more than two cups of caffeinated beverages in a day, and you should always go for
<a href="https://www.healthhub.sg/live-healthy/1358/the-drop-of-life---six-reasons-to-drink-water">water</a> instead of sweet drinks.</p><h2>2. Start Your Meals With a Broth-Based Soup</h2><p>Broth-based soups such as chicken noodle soup are rich in flavour, easy on the stomach and low in fat.</p><p>If you have three heavy meals a day, why not consider starting each of them with something soupy? Not only does it taste good, but it also helps you eat less of your main dishes as you will already be half-full.</p><h2>3. Make Friends With Fruit and Vegetables</h2><p>You've probably heard this a million times already, but the importance of consuming more fruit and vegetables can never be stressed enough!</p><p>Not only do they help you with your weight loss, but they also offer plenty of other health benefits.</p><p>This is due to the fact that they are fibre-rich foods, which means they decrease the amount of fat absorption in your body and enable it to move through your digestive system at a faster rate.</p><p>We're so lucky to have so many great fruits in Singapore, it'd be a shame not to try them all!</p><p></p><p>
