exercises in between workouts. Simple tasks

such as walking the dog and using the stairs

in place of the elevator can already take off

calories. The key is to match the amount of

eating to the amount of activity one has.

2. Eat breakfast. A lot of people are ignoring

the importance of breakfast. Metabolism can

slow down considerably if breakfast is taken

during mid-morning or if one waits until the

afternoon to eat. If you’re trying a fasting

regimen, do it properly, don’t just skip to skip.

A good, protein rich breakfast can help keep

your energy up so you can stay active.

3. Avoid sugar. Sugar enables the body to

store fat. It is recommended that a person

consumes food that helps sustain an even

level of blood-sugar. Additionally, progressive

exercise 2-3 times a week should be to stabilize

blood sugar.

4. Sleep more. According to research, it is

riskier for people who do not get enough sleep

to gain weight. Also, muscles are regenerated

during the last couple of hours of slumber.

Sleep helps your body to function properly, so

find ways to get some sleep if this has been a

problem for you.

5. Increase water intake. Water flushes

out toxins that are produced whenever the

body burns fat. Most bodily functions involve

operations to decrease its speed, producing

unneeded stress as a result.

as with all health issues, learn and understand

your body. People tend to skip meals to lose

weight, which many times is a big mistake

since it slows down metabolism. If you want to

try intermittent fasting, learn to do it properly,

don’t just skip meals randomly. Proper

nutrition throughout the day is still necessary.

8. Plan meals in detail. Always prepare

the right amount of food to be consumed at

the designated intervals. Do not commit the

mistake of eating meals in sporadic patterns.

9. Ditch the stress! Stress, be it physical or

emotional, triggers the release of a steroid

called cortisol, which decreases metabolism.

Also, people tend to eat excessively when

stressed.

10. Guzzle up on green tea. It can be used

as a substitute for coffee. Tea has the ability to

stimulate metabolism, and unlike coffee, it has

no undesirable side effects when too much is

consumed. This, of course, is to be added to a

good diet. Don’t drink tea thinking it overrides

bad habits.

Achieving the desired body weight is never

impossible if one has the determination and

patience needed to stabilize the metabolism

level, which plays an important role in weight

loss. A person needs to realize that eating right

and working out is not just a passing fancy, but

a way of life.

6. Eat smaller meals. It is advisable to

consume 4 to 6 small meals that are timed 2 to

3 hours apart. However, research also shows

this can very from person to person. Know your

body. If you feel weighed down after a large

meal, split things up a bit.
