Let’s talk caffeine! Actually, today, let’s just talk about coffee. Today is not the day to get into the debate about the pros and cons of drinking coffee nor about how much coffee is too much.

Today’s tweaklet is simple – instead of super-size me, when you order your coffee or make your own, think super shrink me! Just have a smaller sized coffee. And for those of you who love all the foam and syrups and things, when you try Super Shrink Me, as well as drinking less caffeine, you’ll also be having a lot less of all those fattening extras.

I know that sounds ridiculously simple! But it’s a tweaklet, just a small adjustment to try that could really make a big difference to your health, your weight and your piece of mind!

Water … yep firstly most of us don’t drink enough of it – that’s not too much of a surprise – but secondly, it could help us eat less and lose weight. Really? Yep. Keep watching.

So how much water should we drink? Around 2 litres per day, or for our non-metric friends, that’s eight 8 ounce glasses. Depending on whether I’m at home, or out and about, I might not make my quota, sometimes not even close. But like any tweaklet, just tweak what you’re doing now and give it your best shot.

Honestly, there’s really no argument for NOT drinking water and ‘I don’t like the taste of it’ doesn’t cut it – add some fruit or find a natural hydration flavour sachet you can add. Maybe some fizzy water if you have to.

Around 60% of our bodies are made up of water so our cells need it for hydration and renewal. It makes our skin glow and not get all withered up and wrinkly and, most importantly, water helps us poop!

Plus if you drink a glass of water before a meal, you cut out those hunger pangs and because you’ll feel fuller you naturally won’t want to eat as much. Do that consistently and you are going to lose weight. So there’s today’s tweaklet – drink more water and look younger, brighter, poop better and lose weight!
