Burn Fat Faster
You can achieve the appropriate weight for your BMI without having to do a ridiculous amount of exercising or food sacrificing. However, you do need to be fully committed to getting into shape so that you persevere to attain your fitness goals.
Tips
- Sleep at least seven hours every night – Skimping on sleep causes imbalances in your internal clock and hormones including those that influence your food choices.
Remember that you still burn calories (about 69 calories per hour for a 160 pound person) when you are asleep. - Eat less ’empty calories’ and more nutritious food, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and nuts.
Restricting your diet can slow down your metabolism and consequently your fat burning progress.
- Eat five to six small meals daily – Just make sure that each of your five or six meals are relatively small and not calorie packed.
- Do short high-intensity workouts; this helps your body burn fat faster than running at a steady pace for an hour.
- Change your regular dinner plate to a small blue one – studies have revealed that this colour has an appetite suppressing effect.
- Avoid alcohol as well as salty, greasy and sugary food. Remember to watch your calorie intake.
Being thirsty or dehydrated makes your body think it’s hungry and you could end up eating when all you really need is a glass of water.
