Fibrous way to shed your extra ounce without breaking a sweat

 
Does breaking a sweat each morning on the treadmill make you even hungrier? Then on your way back home the sinful donuts become irresistible and after burning about a hundred calories at gym you land up gaining an extra three hundred. If eating is your weakness then it’s time to translate it into your driving force for weight loss.

Another way to help minimize these effects is by drinking at least 8 cups of fluid daily.
