This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight~ And you don' t even have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.

 ( 1 ) Wake - up

When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend( 彎曲) forward until you feel sore in your back. It will burn about 10 calories (熱量單位，卡路里).

When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.

 (3) An apple (or more) a day

Apples are full of fiber（纖維) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three, apples a day lose weight.
