Eat Breakfast: If you skip breakfast you are missing out on calories you could have been burning if you wait until lunch or breakfast to eat. Studies show that if you eat breakfast you won't over eat later in the day and you boost your fat burning metabolism earlier in the day. Honestly I do skip breakfast often, so I will make it a point to eat breakfast everyday this month.
Eat every 4 hours: By eating every 4 hours and having healthy snacks will keep your metabolism working through out the day. It is suggested to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. I am guilty of having only about 2 meals a day.
Lift Weights: A pound of muscle burns up to nine times the calories a pound of fat does. It is time for me to put those kettle bells to work!!
Eat Dairy: Women who consumed milk, yogurt, and cheese three to four times a day lost 70 percent more body fat than women who didn't eat dairy in a study published in the January 2003 American Society for Nutritional Sciences Journal of Nutrition. The reason: Calcium, along with other substances in dairy, actually revs up your metabolism, telling your body to burn excess fat faster.
Eat Protein: Eating more protein increases your metabolism because your body burns the most calories digesting foods high in fiber & protein
Drink 1 Liter of ice cold water: The fat burning process of metabolism needs water to work effectively and the body has to raise your metabolism to burn extra calories to warm up the ice cold water.
Drink Green Tea: A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrates a significant increase in metabolism from regular green tea consumption. Rresearchers concluded that over a 24-hour period, green tea extract increases the metabolic rate by 4%.
