Leading U.S. nutrition researchers have shaken up the multi-billion-dollar diet industry by unveiling details of their groundbreaking overnight weight loss method.

Dubbed the "lazy way" to shed pounds , this method requires no strenuous exercise or strict, hunger-inducing diets.

Instead, it harnesses natural body chemistry triggered by a simple change in routine, beginning to work from the very first night.

The approach is so straightforward and easy that researchers delayed releasing their findings for several months, meticulously double- and triple-checking their data through rigorous peer review to ensure accuracy.
