6. Breathe Through Your Nose

Apart from stopping you from snoring, this method provides more oxygen so you can take deep breaths that help to relax the body. Your body needs proper relaxation to drop weight healthily.

A study published in the Journal of Neurological and Orthopaedic Medicine found that we can lose 2 kgs a month just by sniffing peppermint every two hours. Adding mint leaves in hot water before sleep is an easy way to wake up with a lighter body.

8. Put Your Phone Away

People who keep their TV/ laptop screen on at night and allow the night time glow emitting from screen, don't get enough rest and suffer from poor lifestyle habits. A research in Zero Belly Diet suggests that the more electronics we bring into the bedroom, the fatter we get!

9. Eat a Bit of Cottage Cheese

Completely avoiding food before bedtime can actually be bad for your weight loss goals. Have a little cottage cheese before bed. Not only is it rich in protein, but it also contains the amino acid tryptophan that helps you feel full and stops you from waking up hungry (and prevents you from having a big breakfast).

10. Have Sex / Masturbate

The most exciting way to work towards weight loss is getting some before nighty-night.
