The hormone increases your hunger levels, lowers leptin levels, and also fullness hormone. Enough sleep will also help to lower your cortisol levels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Do resistance training: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifting weights helps you fight against muscle loss and reduced metabolism rates that will take place when you lose weight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Eat a lot of fiber: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soluble fiber, in particular, helps the body burn belly fats and a lot of calories in your body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4619305\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Do high-intensity workouts: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-intensity exercises involve short and intense bursts of training. Unlike regular cardio exercises, high-intensity interval training will continue burning calories long after your gym session.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Eat slowly: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating slowly means that you will chew your food thoroughly. This can help you feel full longer and also help you consume less food.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Drink unsweetened green tea:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Researchers have shown how drinking green tea can boost your metabolism by up to 5%.

So count whatever you eat and make sure you burn more to create a calorie deficit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Try intermittent fasting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are fasting, you do not eat anything.
