Yahoo.com just recently published 10 weight loss tips that work in one minute or less. Two of the ten items listed are quite new to me:

4. Sip green tea before a walk
The caffeine frees fatty acids so that you burn fat more easily. And the polyphenols (antioxidant compounds) in green tea appear to work with caffeine to increase calorie burn. (If you have high blood pressure, skip this tip.)
7. Sprinkle flax on cereal
High-fiber ground flaxseed can help curb your appetite and eliminate calories. Add it to yogurt or muffin and bread mixes–it’s available in health food stores.

First, I didn’t know that caffeine and antioxidant compounds are found in green tea and are active elements when it comes to burning calories. In addition, I’m not sure why this is not recommended to those with high blood pressure. The other point is related to flaxseed which I didn’t know that helps restrain appetite. These are just two steps that may help anybody that wants to lose weight, though it may not be as effective as weight loss dietary supplements if done inconsistently. Note however that the key to proper weigh loss is discipline and hard work.
