Let it slip that you’re trying to slim down and suddenly everyone you meet is a weight loss expert. Don’t eat white food, they’ll say. Drink gallons of water. Don’t eat after 5 P.M. It may be impossible to avoid unsolicited diet advice, but with SELF’s help, now you’ll know what’s worth listening to.
We put nine diet strategies to the test, recruiting 27 women to try one tip for three weeks. The results were impressive—one woman lost 11 pounds in only three weeks! We learned not only what works but also which habits stick. Incorporate the behaviors that work for you and soon people will start asking you for weight loss advice.
