-

It's that time of year again. After months of indulgence, you're ready to embrace the year ahead with a healthy new attitude. But with the cold weather making us crave comfort food, losing weight can feel impossible right now. The good news? You don't need an extreme exercise regime or restrictive low-cal plan to keep off the pounds. These bite-sized tips and tricks are so easy to take on board, you won't even realise you're doing them.
LOSING WEIGHT MADE EASY
1 DINE IN THE LIGHT
Dim light makes you eat more because you're less self-aware and more likely to let go of inhibitions.
2 BRUSH YOUR TEETH AFTER YOUR EVENING MEAL
The minty flavour will make you less likely to snack in front of the TV.
3 BURN VANILLA-SCENTED CANDLES
The aroma reduces sweet cravings - and your house will smell delicious.
4 PRIORITISE YOUR SLEEP
Eight hours of shut-eye a night helps to maintain your metabolic rate.
5 GO SLOWLY
Slow the pace by putting your cutlery down between bites, and don't eat while doing other activities, such as watching TV or working.
6 USE RED PLATES

7 EAT LITTLE BUT OFTEN
