5 weight loss cheat codes you need to know

Dan Go then listed '5 fat loss cheat codes that actually work':

1. Drink water before and after a meal to improve feelings of fullness from each meal.

2. Follow the 80/20 diet, which involves getting 80 percent of your calories from whole nutrient-dense sources and 20 percent from whatever you want.

3. Walk after each meal to improve feelings of fullness and digest a meal.
