9 Ways to Lose Weight With Zero Diet or Exercise

Even better, get outside in the a.m. Daylight's a powerful biological signal. Exposure to bright sunshine early in the day can help reduce your body weight.

Let's hope you're already eating less and moving more to get to a healthy weight. Here's something else that can help: breathing. See, you don't actually "burn" body fat.
