II. The method of not eating after noon
Don't eat anything after 3 PM. Of course, you can't overeat when you can eat. This way, you can lose several kilograms in a week.

Health tip: If you are really hungry, you can drink more water or eat an apple.
3. Skipping regular meals
Eat less of your regular meals and incorporate soy milk into your three meals a day. It's very beneficial for girls to drink soy milk, but make sure it's unsweetened. It's better to buy a soy milk maker and make your own every day; it's convenient and inexpensive.
Principle: Soy milk is primarily extracted from soybeans, which are rich in high-quality plant-based protein. Besides soy protein, it also contains a large amount of soy isoflavones and saponins. These components can inhibit the absorption of lipids and carbohydrates in the body, thus promoting fat burning. Therefore, from the moment you drink soy milk, these effective components are working throughout the digestion, absorption, and fat-burning stages! >>> Four Secret Tips for Easy Weight Loss with Soy Milk
IV. Apple Diet
Eating only apples for two days, followed by a normal, controlled diet for three days, and repeating this cycle several times, yields good results.
principle:
Obese people are almost always obese because their stomachs expand due to overeating, making it difficult to control their appetite. The apple diet can shrink the stomach, making it easier to control appetite after weight loss, and also normalizing taste, reducing cravings for spicy or greasy foods.
The apple diet can promote the production of white blood cells in the blood, improve the body's resistance and immunity, and also promote nerve and endocrine function, contributing to beauty and skin health. The advantage of the apple diet is that you don't have to starve; you can eat apples whenever you're hungry. Because apples are low in calories, no matter how many you eat, it won't exceed your daily calorie intake, so weight loss is natural. It can also improve symptoms such as dry skin, allergic dermatitis, and constipation.
V. Lotus Leaf Slimming Method
Boil lotus leaves, cassia seeds, licorice root, and lemon slices into a soup, adjusting the quantities as needed. Continue for two weeks to see results; you'll likely be going to the toilet more often each day.
Principle: Lotus leaves have been considered a valuable medicine in China since ancient times. This is because the roots (lotus root) and leaves of the lotus have simple diuretic and laxative effects. >>>New Mushroom and Lotus Leaf Weight Loss Method
VI. Bitter Melon Diet
This trick is amazing! You can eat as much as you want, even late-night snacks are fine, as long as you eat 3 bitter melons every day, you can lose at least 4 pounds in a week. Just wash them and eat them raw. Although it's a bit difficult, it's also a great way to detox. You have to endure hardship to achieve your goal!
Principle: Bitter melon contains a highly bioactive fat-reducing substance that acts only on the small intestine, a key site for fat absorption in the human body. By altering the intestinal cell pores, it prevents the absorption of large molecules of calories such as fat and polysaccharides, but does not affect the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
This special ingredient, hailed as a "fat killer," can reduce the intake of fat and polysaccharides by 40%–60%. >>>Eating bitter melon regularly can help you lose weight without dieting.
VII. Water Diet
Eating less food and placing a bowl of warm water next to you while eating, then rinsing your food with the water before eating, can also have a good effect.
Principle: Drinking a glass of plain water, diluted honey water, or water with added fiber before breakfast can accelerate gastrointestinal motility, expel waste and metabolites from the body overnight, and reduce the chance of developing a small belly.
Drinking water before meals reduces appetite: Many people are not obese, but after eating, you can see a bulging stomach protruding. This is the most typical baby fat. Even if you haven't eaten, you need to suck in your breath to cover up this small stomach.
Drinking water in the afternoon can help reduce excess fat: The most prominent manifestation of obesity is excess fat, caused by prolonged sitting and high-calorie foods. Afternoon tea time is often when people feel tired and lethargic, making them vulnerable to consuming unnecessary calories due to emotions – the price being excess fat. Drinking a cup of herbal tea can dispel these emotional urges to eat, and the aroma of herbs can also reduce appetite, setting the stage for a dinner that's only 70% full.
