I'm hoping to drop 10 kgs but I'm not too keen on following a strict diet. I've heard that drinking warm water and skipping might help with weight loss. Is that really effective or could it have any negative effects on my health? I'd like to know how well these methods work.

While drinking warm water can help boost metabolism and aid digestion, and skipping rope can burn calories and improve cardiovascular health, relying solely on these two methods without a balanced diet and comprehensive lifestyle changes is unlikely to lead to significant weight loss, as a sustainable weight loss of 10 kgs typically requires a calorie deficit through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications
