Yes, it's true, the basic formula for losing weight is simple - LOTS of veggies, some meat and eggs, some fruit, and if you're exercising hard, some starch.

1. Eat some sunlight

I can hear you thinking 'Impossible'... Well, only sort of impossible actually.

You see, sunlight is ABSORBED by our bodies, so while you can't really chew on a mouthful of it, you CAN 'eat' it by absorption. Sunlight is the best source of vitamin D - a vitamin critical to absorbing other vitamins, strengthening the immune system and is thought to be good for bone health.

Tip: Spend 15 minutes in direct sunlight every day. For extra credit, do some exercise in the sun.
