More than 75% of our body is composed of water and this powerful liquid helps us burn fat more efficiently.

Drinking plenty of water each day will also help fill you up and will work wonders for the condition of your skin and hair - and best of all, it's calorie-free! Have a glass of water instead of a sugary cup of tea and you'll save around 60 calories.

Do this three times a day and you'll shed 180 calories and within less than 3 weeks you'll have lost over a 1lb.
