Sassy Girl Sips

Everyday you should drink these 3 items to keep unwanted lbs from making an appearance on your awesome bod: skim milk, H2O, and olive oil.

Skim milk: Wanna eat less at lunch? Drink milk at breakfast. The proteins in skim milk -- whey and casein -- may help make skim milk quite the filler-upper.


Olive oil: This amazing monounsaturated fat is loaded with a hunger-curbing compound called oleic acid. The acid stimulates the small intestine to make another fat like substance that sends "full" signals from the stomach to the brain. Not a fan of Olive Oil? Try sunflower seeds, canola oil, safflower oil, almonds, and avocados.  They are all high in oleic acid.


Water: This one should not some as a surprise to anyone. Drink H2O to feel fuller and eat far fewer calories throughout the day! Water drinkers are also less likely to indulge in sweetened drinks like soda, calorie-laden coffee drinks, and sugary sports drinks. Try drinking 16 ounces of water before each meal. You might lose more weight -- and lose it faster -- than if you didn't.
