Burn away calories with these simple, no-nonsense tips:
- Eat more complex carbohydrates such as whole-grains and fiber-rich foods instead of simple, starchy carbs (white bread and bagels. The complex carbs will help you feel full longer and help you metabolize your foods more efficiently.
- Eat more protein with your carbohydrates. Protein tends to be more filling and lower in calories than simple carbohydrates.
- Drink more green tea. An important ingredient being studied for its role in controlling weight, green tea helps increase the body’s calorie burning rate and provides valuable antioxidants.
- Rehydrate by drinking lots of water and avoiding drinks with calories (sodas, juices, and even certain sports drinks). Research indicates that the body is unable to identify calories in liquid form, so you tend to consume a larger amount of unnecessary calories this way.
- Control your portions and don’t eat directly from packages or bags
- Eat slowly. This will allow your body to feel full with less food than if you eat in a hurry. You’ll also be able to keep better track of how much food you’ve already consumed.
- Replace some meat dishes with soy-based food. Current research suggests that soy isoflavonoids help metabolize fat better.
- Exercise in the morning as soon as you wake up. This can help you metabolize fat more effectively.
Most importantly keep on training!
