No gimmicks, no lies — just 11 science-based shortcuts from slim-down guru Jim Karas.

"The trouble with
dieting," I hear many women say, "is that it takes too long. If I want
to look good for my anniversary next month, I should've started losing
weight way back in February. Now that I'm finally focused, it's too
late." Well, yes and no. Taking the long-term approach to weight loss is
wise because it means you'll lose pounds slowly and steadily -- making
it more likely that you'll keep them off. But there are ways to rev up
your metabolism so you burn calories and lose weight more quickly. Check
out my favorite no-fail jump starts.
Watch Your Fluids
1. Drink green tea.
Get this: When a recent study compared the metabolic effect of green
tea (in extract) with that of a placebo, researchers found that the
green-tea drinkers burned about 70 additional calories in a 24-hour
period. If you can believe it, those 70 calories a day add up to a total
of 7.3 pounds of fat a year! It's not magic, it's science: Researchers
believe the difference is caused by metabolism-enhancing antioxidants
known as catechins, which are found in green tea.
