Obviously, you won't actually get THINNER in ten seconds.  They're just weight-loss STRATEGIES that take ten seconds or less.  Here are the top four.

#1.) Ruin Your Appetite.  Drinking two glasses of water before a meal makes you feel full, and it can reduce the number of calories you eat by up to 20%.  You don't have to chug, but unless you're a horse, you probably won't drink two glasses in ten seconds.

Actually, you can accomplish the same thing if you have just one glass of water, then start with a cup of broth-based soup, like miso, minestrone, or chicken noodle.

#2.) Sign Up for a 5K Race.  According to a study at the University of Michigan, you're more likely to maintain an exercise program if you find more reasons to work out than just weight loss.

#3.) Eat Chile Peppers.  Capsaicin is the stuff in chilies that makes them hot.  And according to a recent study, it also increases your metabolism.

If you eat just one tablespoon of chopped red or green chilies, it can boost your metabolism by up to 23%.

#4.) Eliminate Added Sugar.  According to a survey done by the USDA, the average American eats about 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day, which translates to about 320 empty calories.

Most of that sugar comes in the form of soda, baked goods, breakfast cereal, candy, and fruit drinks.
