Why not try to boost the amount of calories you burn each day? Try these strategies to increase the burn!
Exercise. Not only does exercise burn calories, it also builds the muscle that can help you burn even more calories. If you don't exercise regularly, start now. There are numerous benefits from a 15-min walk and even more when you get a full hour at a higher intensity.
Eat breakfast. Boost your metabolism first thing in the morning by starting your day with nutritious foods like fruit, oatmeal, eggs, or yogurt.
Eat fish. Omega-3 fats can reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, an apparently increase hormones to boost your metabolism.
Don't go in to starvation mode. The healthiest and most successful weight loss is obtained through cutting calories a little bit at a time.
Graze. Some people can benefit greatly by switching from 3 large meals down to smaller meals or healthy snacks throughout the day. Check out my blog on Mindful Eating.
Stop eating processed & fried foods. Many packaged foods have more additives than you can imagine. Don't trust 0g trans fat labels- many hide them as "hydrogenated oils" in the ingredients list.
