- Cut Back on Sugars and Starches:These are the foods that stimulate secretion of insulin the most. If you didn't know already, insulin is the main fat storage hormone in the body.When insulin goes down, fat has an easier time getting out of the fat stores and the body starts burning fats instead of carbs.Removing sugars and starches (carbs) from your diet will lower your insulin levels, kill your appetite and make you lose weight without hunger
2.Do Cardio 30 Minutes a Day:Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn calories, if you pick a cardio routine that engages multiple muscles simultaneously, You'll burn even more calories per session if your workout incorporates interval training: alternating short bursts of intense cardio with slower activity.
Drink Coffee an Hour Before Working Out:This is the one exception to the stick-to-water-only rule: Just as a coffee run makes your morning at work more productive, a pre-exercise cup of java with a splash of skim milk (about 11 calories) or black (just 5 calories) will energize your workout,
- Make One Food Sacrifice:Cutting out one indulgence — such as the chips you have with lunch or the chocolate dessert you eat after dinner — can subtract a few hundred calories from your diet, which translates into less flab.
4.Stand Up Straight:Keeping your spine rigid and your shoulders back while sucking in your belly toward your spine gives you a slimmer, more streamlined middle.
5.Do Squats and Sit-Ups:Do three sets of 12 of each exercise to tighten your abs, butt, and legs temporarily.
6.Build a better breakfast:All meals are important, but breakfast is what helps you start your day on the right track. The best, heartiest breakfasts are ones that will fill you up, keep you satisfied and stave off cravings later in the day.
7.Know your limits with salt:When it comes by buying snacks, a "low sodium" product has to be 140mg or less per serving — so if you're REALLY in a bind, you can follow that guideline for what to put in your card.
8.Take a hike (or a walk!):exercising at any time is good for you. But evening activity may be particularly beneficial because many people's metabolism slows down toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three hours, even after you've stopped moving.
9.Eat your H2O:you certainly need to drink plenty of water to help expedite the process of ridding your body of excess sodium. But that can (and should!) also be consumed in the form of high-water content foods. Reach for cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, grapes, celery, artichokes, pineapple and cranberries — all of which contain diuretic properties that will also help you stay full due to their higher fiber, high water content.
