Alright now let's kick this list off starting at number one, make a water drinking schedule.
15
I know you've heard it time and time again
16
but there really is a reason why people always tell you to drink more water.
17
Upping your water intake is one of the cheapest yet most effective ways to shed unwanted pounds.
18
Water helps you burn more calories and reduces your appetite.
19
The hardest part is remembering to give your body regular doses of the H2O it desperately needs.
20
But don't worry, we've got you covered on how to make that easier.
21
Here's a sample water intake regimen that you can add to your daily routine.
22
Drink two glasses of water with lemon in the morning to wake your body up, hydrate your empty stomach, and boost metabolism.
23
Have one glass before lunch at around 11 a.m so you don't overeat.
24
After lunch, drink two glasses because this will help with digestion.
25
At 4 p.m., drink again to hold yourself over between lunch and dinner.
26
And you absolutely need to hydrate at dinner time
27
or after to help the food move easily and make your stomach feel lighter
28
Number two smell green apples or bananas before your meals Yep, you don't have to eat it just smell it whether you find this ridiculous
29
or not Smelling foods like bananas
30
or apples before meal time will ease your hunger making you eat less than you would have otherwise
31
This technique is scientifically proven by Dr. Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
32
His research began with 3,193 overweight volunteers who he instructed to sniff bananas, green apples, and peppermint whenever they felt hungry.
33
After six months, some of them lost as much as a hundred pounds.
34
So how do you like them apples?
35
Number three, light a vanilla candle before dinner.
36
This might sound absurd considering how much vanilla goes into different cakes, muffins, and puddings.
37
But one study found that the vanilla scent works wonders when you're trying to lose weight.
38
It activates different chemical reactions in the brain, making you feel less hungry.
39
It can specifically help you tone down your sweet cravings, according to ICU dietician Catherine Collins, who led the study.
40
If you want to give it a try, buy some vanilla patches or light a vanilla candle before or during dinner.
41
As an added bonus, it'll give you a nice serene atmosphere while you enjoy your meal.
42
Number four, take pictures of your dishes.
43
Now you have one more reason, and a valid one, to upload your latest food conquest online just like so many people do on social media.
44
But how can a simple picture bring the number on the scale down for you?
45
Well, when you're trying to get the best shot to share on your social networking page, you can't help but notice the details of your food.
46
And this is perfect since it might make you stop for a second
47
and rethink what you're about to eat
48
If you've got a bunch of pictures on your page of pizza slices
49
and hamburgers dripping in globs of grease
50
or anything else over the top You just might be swayed to change your ways and start picking healthier options
51
Number five buy some blue plates
52
If you surround yourself with the color blue like putting up blue wallpaper
53
or eating from blue plates you'll lose weight much faster.
54
A study found that the color blue is an appetite suppressant which means it'll help you feel less hungry.
55
As for what colors you should avoid definitely red, yellow and orange which you might have noticed are the go-to color for fast food chains.
56
Well, that's because they stimulate your appetite and make you eat more.
57
Try using smaller plates too.
58
You know how we've all been programmed from childhood to clean our plates?
59
Well, you can totally do that and eat less if you use a smaller plate.
60
It's like tricking your own brain.
61
Number 6.
62
Eat eggs for breakfast and spicy foods for lunch.
63
It's been proven time after time that having eggs for breakfast helps achieve faster weight loss.
64
Not only are eggs low in calories, they're also really filling and hold you off for a longer time.
65
That means you won't feel tempted to snack in between meals.
66
Plus, they're full of vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as protein, zinc, and iron.
67
That's why experts consider the egg a superfood.
68
And if you combine that little trick with eating something with chili or red pepper for lunch, Not all the time though, it'll speed up your metabolism,
69
helping you achieve your dream body faster.
70
Spicy foods or the ingredients used to make them contain capsaicin, which helps suppress hunger and increase satiety.
71
But if you don't like spicy foods, then settling on eggs will do just fine.
72
Let's be honest, exercising and being careful of what you eat is a lot of work, and it can be downright tedious.
73
Well, all you gotta do is tweak your workout routine
74
or diet plan by adding some quirky challenges to make them
75
more fun Try doing 10 push-ups for every potato in your dinner
76
or run up and down the stairs five times for every time you enjoy a candy bar If you make it fun,
77
you won't even notice that you're burning calories Number eight sleep in a cold room Yes,
78
you can lose weight by sleeping and it's actually pretty easy.
79
The trick here is that if your body is surrounded by cold, it produces more heat to warm you up, which helps you burn calories.
80
It's as simple as that.
81
Just take it from the United States National Institutes of Health.
82
According to their research, sleeping in a cold room can activate and increase the body's brown fat, which in turn speeds up metabolism.
83
Level up this cool challenge by covering yourself with a thinner blanket or sleeping naked.
84
Bring on the smaller pant size.
85
Number 9.
86
Chew slowly and thoroughly.
87
It's natural to wolf down a meal because of a hectic schedule, especially on work or school days.
88
Yet it's been proven that if it takes you longer to eat and you consume your food slowly, you'll have an easier time losing weight.
89
This is based on studies from the Department of Healthcare Administration and Management at Kyushu University's Graduate School of Medical Sciences.
90
It's all due to the fact that chewing slowly
91
and thoroughly gives your stomach enough time to tell the brain that it's full.
92
That, in turn, makes you eat less.
93
Ideally, it should take you around 20 minutes to finish a meal.
94
Savor and enjoy your food and get the most out of each bite.
95
Number 10.
96
Drink a glass of wine daily.
97
That's right, folks.
98
This is based on a joint study conducted by Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health.
99
They found out that a glass of wine a day can help you lose weight faster.
100
Just don't overdo it, since the same study found
101
that people who drank more than two glasses of wine daily struggled more
102
when dieting versus those who didn't drink at all or had just one or two glasses.
103
So, if you're of age, cheers to a slimmer waistline!

この動画が英語スピーキング練習に最適な理由
日常的な話題を自然な英語で語るのに、この動画は最適な教材です。「体重減少のための習慣」という身近なテーマなので、聞き取りやすく、自分の経験と結びつけながら覚えられます。しかも、口語的な表現が多く、実際の会話で使えるフレーズが満載。shadow speech（シャドーイング）の練習にぴったりです。
自然な英語表現を分解してみよう
- 「The struggle is real when you're trying to lose weight.」：「体重を減らそうとするときの苦労は本物だ」という意味。「The struggle is real」は若者向けの口語表現で、共感を呼ぶフレーズです。自然な会話では、このように簡単な単語を組み合わせて強い感情を表します。
- 「Hey, this stuff has been tested and proven to work.」：「ねえ、これらの方法はテストされて効果があることが証明されているよ」。「stuff」は「もの・方法」という曖昧な表現で、親しみやすい感じになります。「tested and proven to work」は実用的な表現で、説得力を持たせるのに使えます。
- 「So how do you like them apples?」：「驚いたでしょ？」という軽い皮肉のような表現。直訳すると「そのリンゴはどう思う？」ですが、文脈から意味が推測できるのが英語の面白さです。こうした慣用句を覚えると、会話が生き生きします。
動画で英語学習するためのシャドーイングルーティン
英語シャドーイングの練習は、以下のステップで行いましょう。まず、動画を1文ずつ止めながら、その後ろについて話します（shadowspeak）。「Drink two glasses of water with lemon in the morning...」のような長い文は、フレーズごとに分けて繰り返します。次に、全体を流しながら即座に追って話し、録音して自分の発音とイントネーションを確認します。1日10分、このルーティンを続けると、自然なスピーキング力が身につきます。
この動画を使って、shadow speechの練習を楽しみながら、英語をマスターしましょう！
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
