11 Health Hacks For Incurably Lazy People

More good news for food lovers: Flying in the face of yet another nugget of health wisdom, bumping your dairy intake could well be the weight loss miracle you've bee waiting for.

It is the calcium found in low-fat dairy products that does it. Calcium will bind to some of the fat in your diet and prevent it from being absorbed into your system. This means that it will pass straight through you without adding to the circumference of your waist. 

This is essentially what those expensive fat-loss tablets do, but in the cheaper, more delicious form of cheese rather than popping a pill.

Studies have shown that people with a dairy-rich diet can excrete up to twice as much undigested fat as those on a low-dairy diet with the same calorific and fat content.

It's not a wonder drug, but it does mean that you've got a rock-solid excuse to tuck into that cheese board with indecent enthusiasm.
