Lose a pound recently? Great! Then keep it off with this mighty nutrient: vitamin C.
Research shows that your body needs sufficient vitamin C to burn fat -- and burning fat is key to keeping excess pounds away. So pop your C supplement, or snack on some C-rich orange sections before your next power walk.
