For a weird tip, just eat more fiber. The average American gets less than 50% of the recommended amount of fiber through their normal diet. There was a study done a few years ago, and they put one group of people on a traditional diet, and told the other group of people to do nothing different except take some fiber supplements. The group eating fiber supplements lost almost as much weight as the group on the diet. [1] > After 12 months, researchers found many of the adult participants in the high-fiber group lost around 4.5 pounds. Meanwhile, participants in the AHA diet group lost nearly 6 pounds. The researchers concluded that while the "more complex" AHA diet resulted in more weight loss, they determined "emphasizing only increased fiber intake may be a reasonable alternative for persons with difficulty adhering to more complicated diet regimens." The idea is that fiber both keeps things moving through your gut instead of staying put until every last calorie is absorbed by your body, and the bulk of it also keeps you feeling more full for longer so you eat less overall. You do have to ease into it though over the course of a few weeks, because it can be rough of the digestive tract at first if you're not used to it.
