"Anxiety, emotional eating and exhaustion due to a hectic day don&amp;#039;t have to be your downfalls. Follow these six quick pointers to lose weight, get happier and stress less. Lose weight: Exercise in the A.M. before breakfast. Research found that participants lost fat faster when they broke a sweat as soon as they rolled out of bed. For a longer, more high-intensity workout, you might want to fuel up first, but your body can still perform well without fuel during shorter sweat sessions. Conserve energy: Late to a meeting? You&amp;#039;ll get there on time and feel less exhausted by alternating walking and running, according to a recent study. De-stress: Anxiety at work can come from unclear expectations, as one study finds. Ask your boss for an updated guideline of your duties every few months or so. It makes sure you&amp;#039;re being recognized for the work you&amp;#039;re doing. Eat well: Take time for lunch, and eat it before 3 p.m. Researchers found that participants who ate before the afternoon slump lost more weight at a faster rate than those who ate later. Good eating habits go hand in hand: These participants were also more likely to eat breakfast.  Get happy: Smile! A study shows that optimists are better at handling stress. Taking a minute to put things in perspective can make your day easier and you happier. Solve problems faster: Studies show getting between 7 and 8 hours of sleep is beneficial, especially when you&amp;#039;re struggling over a hard project. Sleep when you need to solve difficult problems and you&amp;#039;ll mull them over better in the morning. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
