5 Weight Loss Tips That Are Truly Evidence-Based

The weight losses industry is full of myths.
People are often guided to do all kinds of crazy things, most of which have no evidence behind them.
However, over the years, scientists have found a number of strategies that seems to be effective.
Here are 26 weight loss tips that are truly evidence-based.



It is often appealed that drinking water can help with weight loss _ and that’s true.
Drinking water can increase metabolism by 24–30% over a period of 1–2 hours, helping you burn off a few more calories in ours body.
One study showed that drinking a 1/2-liter (17 ounces) of water about half an hour before meals helped dieters eat fewer calories and lose 40-44% more weight, compared to those who didn’t drink the water

Studies show that replacing a grain-based breakfast with eggs can help you eat fewer calories for the next 30-36 hours as well as lose more weight and body fat.
If you don’t want to eat eggs, that's fine. Any source of quality protein for breakfast should do the trick.


Coffee has been unethically demonized. Quality coffee is loaded with antioxidants and can have several types of health benefits.
Studies show that the caffeine in coffee can increase metabolism by 3–10% and increase fat burning by up to 10-30%.

Like coffee, green tea also has numerous benefits, one of them being weight loss.

Although the evidence is mixed, many studies show that green tea (either as a beverage or a green tea extract supplement) can helping you in lose weight.


Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern in which people round between periods of fasting and eating.
