Fat Burning Ideas
1. Walk more. It's a good low intensity form of exercise that anyone can do, without first needing to be fit, or have to use any special equipment. If you can't walk to work because you live too far away, try getting up twenty minutes earlier and going for a walk before work, you can even follow this up with another walk after work.
2. Reduce carbs. Cut carbs out of your evening meal(s). This will force your body to burn the fat around your waist and other areas for energy. As long as you have enough protein going around your system, the body will maintain its lean muscle and the energy deficit will be made up from the excess energy that is stored in your body's fat cells.
3. Lift weights. Try lifting weights as well as doing aerobic exercise. Weight training has been proven to increase muscle size and definition. By toning your muscles, you will increase the percentage of lean muscle mass in the body, which in turn means the body will burn more calories when resting. Remember, muscle burns three times as many calories as fat does.
4. Drink more. Drink lots of water. Not only does it fill you up so you don't feel hungry, but it also speeds up the metabolism. Another good reason is that most people go through their lives being slightly de-hydrated, and the body gets confused and sends us the "I'm hungry" signal when it should in fact be telling us "I'm thirsty". So by drinking lots of water, we don't get our wires crossed and therefore don't eat food we don't need.
5. Eat more protein. By increasing the amount of protein in the body, the body is naturally increases the lean muscle, which in turns ups the metabolism.
