7. Get Your Beauty Rest
Skimping on sleep doesn’t just mess with your mood. Research shows that it can throw off your hormones, including ghrelin, which is responsible for hunger regulation, according to Glassman. “When you sleep well, you’re less likely to over-consume the next day,” she says. Indeed, 2022-published research links poor sleep to higher daily calorie intakes.

8. Up Your Fiber Intake
There’s no question that dietary fiber, which is found in fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts and cereals, fills you up. What’s more, research has shown that people who eat 14 extra grams of fiber per day naturally eat about 10% fewer calories per day, amounting to about a four-pound weight loss in less than four months—no counting required. More recent research published in 2023 linked increased fiber intake with weight loss.
