In order to lose weight, you want to become like a fat-burning machine. There are many ways to do that, most of which are not difficult at all. Here are some things you can do every day that will help you to burn more fat:
Increase Your Protein
One great way to start burning more fat on a regular basis is to make sure you have enough protein and healthy fats. With enough protein in your diet, you are going to start increasing your energy. Higher energy also means a higher metabolic rate, which helps you burn more fat and calories. Protein also helps to build lean muscle, which can also help to burn more fat throughout the day. Some good options for lean protein are organic turkey, chicken, grass-fed beef and nuts.
Stop Skipping Breakfast
Breakfast is an important meal of the day to get your engine running, providing the energy you need for the day. Plus, if you enjoy a filling meal in the morning, it can help to curb your appetite and reduce cravings throughout the rest of the day. For breakfast, try to enjoy high-protein foods like eggs, oatmeal, along with some veggies or a smoothie with veggies and protein powder in it. This is going to get you ready for burning fat all day long. Conversely, you could also try intermittent fasting to see if this will rev up your metabolism – studies are showing this can be very healthy if done properly.
Mix Up Your Workouts
A common mistake people make when they start exercising more is doing the same type of workout constantly. If you want to lose weight and burn fat, you need to mix it up. Weight loss plateaus are often the result of eating the same thing day in and day out, but also doing the same workout. So if you can, try circuit training or at least go for some different types of workouts each week. Add an extra day of weight training or try indoor rock climbing over the weekend instead of going on your normal run. This will work different muscle groups, burning more fat in the long run.
Drink Water
Drinking plenty of water can definitely boost your metabolism. Try making infused water (there are tons of recipes on the internet) and store in the refrigerator.
To your health,
