Get Some Sun

Opening the curtains to allow some natural light in or spending a few extra minutes outside each morning might help you lose weight faster. One small research discovered that exposure to even moderate levels of light at specific times of the day might affect weight. Furthermore, mice on a high-fat diet were shown to gain less weight after being exposed to UV light in one animal research.

Sunlight is also the most effective approach to meeting your vitamin D requirements. According to some research, getting enough vitamin D might help you lose weight and even prevent weight gain. 218 overweight and obese women were given either vitamin D supplements or a placebo for a year in one research. Those who met their vitamin D requirements shed an average of 7 pounds (3.2 kg) more than those who had insufficient vitamin D blood levels at the end of the study.
