Another easy way to lose weight is to reduce your snack intake by half and the amount of alcohol that you drink by half. If you eat two bicuits twice a day with coffee or tea and you only have one biscuit instead you will lose 15lbs in a year. If you normally drink two glasses of wine per night every day of the week and you only drink one glass you will lose another 20lbs.
