Too many loose-weight-tips around us, both scientifically and unscientifically. Let see what we can do to reduce our body weight. 1. Build a Better Diet. All meals are important, but breakfast is what helps you start your day on the right track. The best, heartiest breakfasts are ones that will fill you up, keep you satisfied, and stave off cravings later in the day. Aim to eat anywhere between 400 and 500 calories for your morning meal, and make sure you’re including a source of lean protein plus filling fat (e.g., eggs, beans, unsweetened Greek yogurt, nuts, or nut butters) and fiber (veggies, fruit, or 100% whole grains).

A number of factors can lead to the development of hyperpigment...
