Don't eat while in your pajamas -Eating in very comfortable loose clothes might give you the illusion of being slimmer. Thus, it may lead you to eat more.

It helps signal the brain when you're already full (very helpful during binges or emotional eating). Peppermint also helps suppress appetite for it promotes the feeling of fullness. Finally, vanilla helps suppress sweet cravings and drinks.
Exercise before breakfast - Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day for it helps us become energized throughout the day. True, but a light exercise won't hurt before breakfast. This way, your metabolism would speed up a bit after some physical movements. A quick metabolism can help you easily digest your breakfast and even lunch, depending on your work out.
Drink coffee, tea, or eat spicy food - Aside from fibrous food, caffeine and spices can help stimulate metabolism. But opt for black coffee or add skim milk. Frappes and other sweet coffee shop drinks are high in calories and sugar. Choose hot tea over black coffee if you are not a coffee-drinker. Then, munch on some spicy food if your tongue and stomach can handle it. Capasaicin found in hot peppers is said to help speed up metabolism because the body will release stress hormones. The body burns more calories as it tries to cope with the spiciness.
