How To
How can you lose weight if you don’t exercise or eat right?
It is best to naturally lose weight by increasing your metabolism. You will burn fat quicker than you store it. Your metabolism is key to how much energy and calories we use. Good news: You don’t have a need to exercise to boost your metabolism. There are simple lifestyle changes you can make today to help boost your metabolic rate. Here are some great tips.
- Increase Your Protein Consumption – Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels, and support muscle growth. In addition, research shows eating protein before meals can reduce food intake by up to 20%.
- Drink more water. Water helps to keep your body hydrated. It makes you feel fuller longer and reduces hunger cravings. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day to improve your digestion and speed up metabolism.
- Reduce sugar intake – Cutting back on sugar can help you lose weight and burn more calories. Sugary foods will cause insulin to be released, which can make it difficult to burn fat. Sugary sweets and sodas should be eliminated. Instead, drink plenty of water and eat fruits.
- Get Enough Sleep – Getting enough sleep is proven to improve brain function and overall well-being, including glucose tolerance. It’s also been proven to lower appetite hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin.
- Do Cardio Daily – Regular aerobic activity burns extra calories throughout the day. Walking for 30 minutes three days a week is a good way to get started. This will raise your heart rate and improve cardiovascular fitness.
- Move Every Day! Keeping active is important for losing weight because it gives your body a reason to move each day. There are many ways to add movement to your day without going crazy. You can take the stairs rather than the elevator, park farther away from the entrance for shopping, walk around while talking on your phone, take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch out and breathe deeply.
