8 Tips From 42 Year Old Mom Who Flattened Her Belly While Juggling 2 Jobs

One pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories. By shaving 500 calories a day through small changes to your eating and exercise lifestyle, you can lose about a pound a week.

If you only need to maintain your current weight, shaving 100 calories a day is enough to avoid the extra 1-2 pounds most women gain each year.

Adopt one or more of the following simple, painless strategies to help you lose weight without going on a “diet”.

>>THIS Super simple trick that helped me burn at least 2 pounds a day while having milkshake and custard doughnuts for breakfast <<

1. Eat Breakfast Every Day.

One habit that’s common to many people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating breakfast every day. Many people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they usually end up eating more throughout the day.

Studies show people who eat breakfast have lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in the boardroom.

Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.

2. Close the Kitchen at Night.

Establish a time when you will stop eating so you won’t give in to the late-night munchies or mindless snacking while watching television. Have a cup of tea, suck on a piece of hard candy or enjoy a small bowl of light ice cream or frozen yogurt if you want something sweet after dinner, but then brush your teeth so you will be less likely to eat or drink anything else.

3. Choose Liquid Calories Wisely.

Sweetened drinks pile on the calories, but don’t reduce hunger like solid foods do. Satisfy your thirst with water, sparkling water with citrus, skim or low-fat milk, or small portions of 100% fruit juice.

Try a glass of nutritious and low-calorie vegetable juice to hold you over if you get hungry between meals.

Be careful of alcohol calories, which add up quickly.

If you tend to drink a glass or two of wine or a cocktail on most days, limiting alcohol to the weekends can be a huge calorie saver.

4. Eat More Produce.

Eating lots of low-calorie, high-volume fruits and vegetables crowds out other foods that are higher in fat and calories.

Move the meat off the center of your plate and pile on the vegetables.

Or try starting lunch or dinner with a vegetable salad or bowl of broth-based soup.

The U.S. government’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines suggest that adults get 7-13 cups of produce daily. And it’s not really that difficult �� stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables and at every meal and snack, include a few servings.

Your diet will be enriched with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber, and if you fill up on super-nutritious produce, you won’t be reaching for the cookie jar.

5. Go for the Grain.

By substituting whole grains for refined grains like white bread, cakes, cookies, and pretzels, you add much-needed fiber and will fill up faster so you’re more likely to eat a reasonable portion.

Choose whole-wheat breads and pastas, brown rice, bran flakes, popcorn, and whole-rye crackers.

6. Control Your Environments.

Another simple strategy to help cut calories is to control your environment – everything from stocking your kitchen with lots of healthy options to choosing the right restaurants.

That means avoiding the temptation by staying away from all-you-can-eat restaurants.

And when it comes to parties, eat a healthy snack before so you won’t be starving, and be selective when you fill your plate at the buffet.

Before going back for more food, wait at least 15 minutes and have a big glass of water.

7. Trim Portions.

If you did nothing else but reduce your portions by 10%-20%, you would lose weight. Most of the portions served both in restaurants and at home are bigger than you need.

Pull out the measuring cups to get a handle on your usual portion sizes, and work on paring them down.

Get instant portion control by using small bowls, plates, and cups.

You won’t feel deprived because the food will look plentiful on dainty dishware.

8. Add More Steps.

Get yourself a pedometer and gradually add more steps until you reach 10,000 per day. Throughout the day, do whatever you can to be more active – pace while you talk on the phone, take the dog out for an extra walk, and march in place during television commercials. Having a pedometer serves as a constant motivator and reminder.

One last thing… you should try this super simple ritual that burns 2 pounds of belly fat per day…

“All this by your something-something ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

She said, “It’s not so much about the the so called ritual but more about how it releases fat-blasting molecules that signal your brain and body to burn off pounds and inches of trapped fat quickly and naturally.”

Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.

Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…

They’re right — it actually took me 14 days to lose 20 pounds.

Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently

Imagine your body being beach ready before Memorial Day.

Imagine enjoying the foods you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.

And imagine feeling good and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…

All while knowing your health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals ever discovered.

Easy Weight Loss Tricks From 42 Year Old Mom Who Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks

You probably have heard this many times, “Abs are made 30% in the gym and 70% in the kitchen”, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise when we say that how you fuel your body is just as important, if not more important than exercise. It is true that exercise plays an essential role in any weight-loss journey, but in order for the exercise to work, you need to watch what you put in your mouth.

Now, if you haven’t had much success in weight loss, then it’s time to start evaluating how you behave around food, whether it’s in or outside your kitchen.

So, if you’re ready to embrace new lifestyle changes and even more ready to stop feeling like food is a constant struggle, here are 17 straightforward tips many nutritionists live by, and they really work.

>>THIS Super simple trick that helped me burn at least 2 pounds a day while having milkshake and custard doughnuts for breakfast <<

1. Lose the mind-set that foods are off-limits.

According to New York based nutritionist to the stars Sandra Bellamy, “anytime you deprive yourself of food . . . all you want is what you can’t have!” Take your mind-set away from sacrifice, and allow yourself everything in moderation.

2. Keep it clean.

Replace processed foods with clean (whole and natural) items. Not only are natural options more nutritious, you’ll find that their flavors are more satisfying.

3. Opt for whole grains.

Refined and processed carbs weigh you down and muck up your progress. Fiber-rich whole grains keep hunger at bay, support healthy digestion, and are a crucial part of a long-term weight-loss success.

4. Forget the rest, Greek yogurt is the best.

Instead of sour cream, dollop this protein-rich yogurt on your burrito bowl. Make it into a creamy pasta sauce that satisfies any Italian cravings. Honestly, is there anything this protein-rich dairy option can’t sub for?

5. Make your snacks smarter.

Instead of a snack that includes just one food group, go for two — even three. The winning combination of protein, fiber, and carbs fuels workouts and keep you full.

6. Eat (don’t sip) your produce.

According to Bellamy, when you eat a whole piece of fruit with all the fiber intact, your body will release blood sugar slowly, and you’ll stay satisfied for longer. Enjoy the occasional fresh-pressed juice as a treat and learn to eat your produce!

7. Eat carbs in the morning.

Totally eliminating carbs from your life is not a long-term technique for success, but when you eat carbs earlier in the day, you have more time to burn them off.

8. Top your salad right.

Croutons and preservative-laden dressings have got to go. Dress your favorite salad in a lighter homemade recipe instead, and pile on the veggies, protein, and produce. If you’re craving crunch, add some nuts instead.

9. Give away your fryer (to someone you don’t like).

Bake, steam, or sauté, but please don’t fry! It packs on the calories and fat and can leave you in a serious food coma.

10. More herbs and spices, less sauces and creams.

Sugar- and cream-based sauces cover up the natural flavors of the foods you’re enjoying and add an extra layer of unnecessary calories. Go light and bright with a squeeze of citrus and experiment with fresh herbs.

11. Seriously, say no to soda.

The extra calories and chemicals that come from soda are just not worth it. If you love bubbles, sip sparkling water instead. In the beginning, it will be hard, but if soda is a part of your daily diet, this is 100 percent worth doing.

12. Always add something green.

When it comes to lunch and dinner, always add something green to your plate. Serve spinach with last night’s leftovers or order a salad at your favorite takeout spot. It ups the nutrition of every meal, every time.

13. Drink your coffee and tea without sugar.

Instead of squeezing honey and adding packets of sugar into your morning beverage, keep your blood sugar level by skipping these unnecessary additions.

14. Cook one serving.

If portion control is a problem, cook single-size servings of your favorite foods. Simply divide your favorite recipes accordingly and skip out on temptation.

15. A little bit of hunger isn’t bad.

According to Bellamy, “you should feel mild to moderate hunger three to four times a day at your scheduled mealtimes.” When your hunger returns, it’s a signal from your body that it’s time to refuel!

16. Leave space for smart indulgences.

Plan ahead, and keep your diet extra clean leading up to your special indulgence. It will make the whole experience that much sweeter.

17. Move all the time.

Whatever you do, keep moving. Walk after you eat. Take the stairs/ Park at the furthest parking spot to the store. Carry a basket at the grocery store instead of using a pushcart. Every little bit helps to get you losing weight for good.

One last thing… you should try this super simple ritual that burns 2 pounds of belly fat per day…

“All this by your something-something ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

How 42 Year Old Mom Flattened 20 Pounds of Belly Fat During Locked Down

The average U.S. waist circumference has also grown to an average 38.8 inches, up more than 1 inch in about a dozen years.

It’s more than a fashion crisis.

Belly fat, or visceral fat, is the most dangerous type of fat there is.

This deadly fat wraps around the organs deep in your abdomen, spiking your risk for diabetes, heart disease, stroke and metabolic syndrome.

You can’t see or pinch visceral fat, and it’s often associated with a large waist.

Ditch it and you’ll not only save your health, you’ll also lose weight and trim your waistline.

The good news is you can start blasting both types of fat today with these 10 healthy habits:

>>THIS Super simple trick that helped me burn at least 2 pounds a day while having milkshake and custard doughnuts for breakfast <<

Ditch Diet Soda

How bad can your calorie-free Diet Coke habit be for your belly?

Belt-bustingly bad, researchers say.

A study in the journal Diabetes Pro found that people who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist-size increases that were six times greater than non-drinkers.

Diet drinks are loaded with deceptively sweet artificial sweeteners, which, researchers say, trick the metabolism into thinking sugar is on its way, spike insulin levels, and shift the body from a fat-burning to a fat-storing state.

Eat Three Squares

For years, diet experts beat the “multiple small meals a day” drum—an eating rhythm purported to “stoke the metabolic fire!”

Now, some researchers are singing a different tune. A study published in the journal Hepatology found that snacking between meals contributes to increased abdominal fat.

Researchers say the findings suggest three balanced meals may be the way to go. Try weaning yourself off the snack wagon by nixing your morning nibble first.

Research suggests mid-morning snackers tend to consume more throughout the day than afternoon snackers.

Eat More Walnuts

Dietary fats are kind of like lovers.

Some of them make you a better person, and others—as you often discover too late—are catastrophically bad for your health.

The good news is, unlike shoddy boyfriends, dietary fats come with red flags.

The absolutely worst match for your apple-shaped figure? Saturated fats.

A study published in the journal Diabetes found that while unsaturated fat can help reduce abdominal fat, saturated fat can increase waist size.

Saturated fats, like the kind you’ll find in baked goods and red meat, “turn on” certain genes that increase the storage of fat in the belly, researchers say.

Polyunsaturated fats on the other hand, activate genes that reduce fat storage and improve insulin metabolism.

At about 13 grams per one ounce serving, walnuts are one of the best dietary sources. Sprinkle a handful on your morning oats or entree salad for belly-busting benefits.

Skip The Bootcamp

Open any fitness magazine, and it’s clear: high intensity interval training (HIIT) is having a bit of a moment.

But when it comes to your shrinking your belly, the start-and-stop exercise strategy won’t get you anywhere … other than into a larger pair of pants, researchers say.

A study published in the Journal of Obesity found people who performed interval training on an exercise bike for 24 minutes three days a week, actually gained 0.7 percent abdominal fat over a 12-week period.

Meanwhile, those on the same dietician-regulated diet, who performed traditional aerobic exercise—45 minutes of continuous moderate cycling three days a week—lost nearly 3 percent of their abdominal fat over the same 3-month period.

The study authors did note that HIIT improved fitness, but suggest that the only evidence to support interval training as an efficient weight loss method was research using young people who were already lean and healthy.

Remember: Workouts are only half of the equation; abs are made in the kitchen as they say.

Eat the magical beans, Jack

There are diet pills on the market that actually work. They’re called beans.

Researchers suggest beans, as they’re particularly rich in soluble fiber, can lessen the accumulation of abdominal fat deposits.

A study by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center found that for every 10-gram increase in soluble fiber eaten per day, visceral fat reduced by 3.7 percent over five years.

Fill up, without filling out, with just 1/2 a cup of beans.

If the musical fruits tend to leave you bloated, stick to canned varieties that have soaked long enough to break down much of the gas-causing oligosaccharides.

Swap coffee for green tea

Green tea and weight loss are a natural pair.

Sipping on green tea throughout the morning has proven to whittle your waist, but too much coffee has the opposite effect.

What makes green tea so waist friendly are compounds called catechins, belly-fat crusaders that blast adipose tissue by revving the metabolism, increasing the release of fat from fat cells (particularly in the belly), and then speeding up the liver’s fat burning capacity.

In a recent study, participants who combined a daily habit of 4-5 cups of green tea with a 25-minute sweat session (or 180 minutes a week), lost 2 more pounds than the non tea-drinking exercisers.

Meanwhile, a research team in Washington found that the same amount of coffee (5+ cups/day) doubled visceral belly fat.

Be Unrefined

It’s not carbs, per se, that lead to belly fat; but the type, researchers say. In fact, whole grains are a dietary staple of people with the littlest middles.

A Tufts University study found that participants who ate three or more servings of whole grains per day (oats, quinoa, brown rice, wheat) had 10% less belly fat than people who ate the same amount of calories from refined carbs (white stuff: bread, rice, pasta).

Further research is required to figure out exactly why this is the case, but the hypothesis is it has to do with the high fiber and slow-burn properties of whole grains.

When it comes to diet, being unrefined is a good thing!

Sprinkle Pepper Everywhere

Meet Piperine, the fat blasting ninja!

A powerful compound found in black pepper, piperine has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine to treat multiple health conditions including inflammation and tummy troubles.

But recent animal studies have found that piperine may also have the profound ability to decrease inflammation and interfere with the formation of new fat cells—a reaction known as adipogenesis, resulting in a decrease in waist size, body fat, and cholesterol levels.

More pepper, please!

Use coconut oil for cooking

What smells like an exotic vacation and can shrink your waist faster than your favorite Zumba class?

You got it: coconut oil.

A study of 30 men in the journal Pharmacology found that just 2 tablespoons per day reduced waist circumference by an average of 1.1 inches over the course of a month.

What makes coconut oil superior to other fats is its medium chain triglycerides. Unlike the long-chain fatty acids found in animal sources of saturated fat, coconut oil doesn’t seem to raise your cholesterol and is more likely to be burned as energy than stored as blubber.

At roughly 117 calories per tablespoon, it’s a near identical caloric swap for olive oil. Plus, its high smoke point makes coconut oil great for just about every dish, from eggs to stir-frys.

Indulge in Dark Chocolate

It’s every chocoholic’s dream: Research now shows that eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate can reduce overall body fat and shrink the waist.

A study among women with normal weight obesity (skinny fat syndrome) who ate a Mediterranean diet that included two servings of dark chocolate each day showed a significant reduction in waist size than when on a cocoa-free meal plan.

Researchers say it has to do with the flavonoids, heart-healthy compounds in chocolate that have important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Just be sure you’re reaching for a bar with at least 70 percent cacao, and stay away from the “alkalized” stuff, which has a significantly reduced flavonoid content.

One last thing… you should try this super simple ritual that burns 2 pounds of belly fat per day…

“All this by your something-something ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.

They’re right — it actually took me 14 days to lose 20 pounds.

Critical Reasons Why Your Belly Remains Flabby

Belly fat is more of a problem than just for aesthetic reasons. It’s a predictor of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and some cancers. If your diet and exercise regimens aren’t working to melt your belly fat away like they do for other parts of your body, it’s time to make a change. The following are 12 pretty obvious but easily missed reasons why your belly fat won’t go away and how to fix them.

1. You’re doing the wrong workout.

A daily run or spin class is great for your heart, but cardio workouts alone won’t do much for your waist. You need to do a combination of weights and cardiovascular training—strength training increases muscle mass, which sets your body up to burn more fat. Muscle burns more calories than fat, and therefore you naturally burn more calories throughout the day by having more muscle. Aim for 250 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 minutes of high-intensity exercise a week.

2. You’re eating too much processed foods.

Refined grains like white bread, crackers and chips, as well as refined sugars in sweetened drinks and desserts increase inflammation in our bodies. Belly fat is associated with inflammation, so eating too many processed foods will hinder your ability to lose belly fat. Natural foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains are full of antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties and may therefore actually prevent belly fat.

3. You’re eating the wrong types of fat.

The body doesn’t react to all fats in the same way. Research correlates high intake of saturated fat (the kind in meat and dairy) to increased visceral fat. On the other hand, monounsaturated fats (the kind in olive oil and avocados) and specific types of polyunsaturated fats (mainly omega-3s, found in walnuts, sunflower seeds and fatty fish like salmon) have anti-inflammatory effects in the body, and if eaten in proper portions may do your body good. Just like everything else in life, eating too much fat of any kind increases your calorie intake and could lead to weight gain, so enjoy healthy fats in moderation.

4. You do not challenge yourself enough.

To banish stubborn belly fat, you have to ramp up your workouts. In a recent study, people who completed a high-intensity workout regimen lost more belly fat than those who followed a low-intensity plan. (In fact, the low-intensity exercises experienced no significant changes at all.) You need to exercise at full intensity because the end goal is to burn more calories, and high intensity exercise does just that. High intensity workouts mean you’re going all out for as long as you can. If this sounds intimidating, think of it this way: You’ll burn more calories in less time.

5. You’re not doing the correct exercises.

If you’re doing crunches until kingdom come, you have to stop it now! When you’re down to your final inches of belly fat, the dreaded crunch won’t be the exercise that finally reveals your six-pack. You can’t spot reduce, so perform functional exercises that use the muscles in your core—abdominals, back, pelvic, obliques—as well as other body parts. These exercises use more muscles, so there is a higher rate of calorie burn while you are doing them. Planks are my favorite functional exercise—they activate not just your core muscles but also your arm, leg, and butt muscles.

6. You are constantly stressed.

Tight deadlines, bills, your kids—whatever your source of stress, having too much of it may make it harder for you to drop unwanted pounds, especially from your middle. And it’s not just because you tend to reach for high-fat, high-calorie fare when you’re stressed, though that’s part of it. It’s also due to the stress hormone cortisol, which may increase the amount of fat your body clings to and enlarge your fat cells. Higher levels of cortisol have been linked to more visceral fat.

7. You are not sleeping enough.

If you’re among the 30% of Americans who sleep less than six hours a night, here’s one simple way to whittle your waistline: catch more sleep. A 16-year study of almost 70,000 women found that those who slept five hours or less a night were 30% more likely to gain 30 or more pounds than those who slept 7 hours. So, aim for a minimum of 7 hours of sleep if you can’t get 8 hours, which is recommended by the American Health Institute.

8. You are not committed to losing your belly flab.

Are you committed to the work needed to lose belly fat? Reducing belly fat takes a combination approach of a low-calorie diet that is high in fiber and low in carbohydrates and sugar along with cardiovascular and weight training. If you are willing to do the work, you can move past genetics and lose that flab.

9. You make things complicated.

One of the biggest weight loss mistakes that many women make and thus not able to lose their belly flab is that they overcomplicate things. With weight loss, often times, simplicity is best.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

“All this by a morning ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

Weight Loss Tricks That Will Really Help You Shed 50 Pounds

You no doubt have heard from your friends and family dish out plenty of advice on how to lose weight – some are weird and some are just down right dangerous.

From eating 10 times a day to living off of cabbage soup, these diet advice do more harm than good. If you haven’t already figured it out, real weight loss (meaning losing weight for good and putting it back on) is about making small, permanent changes you can maintain over long periods of time.

Losing weight shouldn’t involve restrictions and it shouldn’t involve starvation. A healthy eating and exercise regimen allows for occasional treats and weekly rest days.

So, ignore all the bad advice from your friends and family. The following 6 weight loss tricks actually WORK and will help you lead a healthier lifestyle and maintain a healthy, stable weight.

1. Combine cardio and weight lifting.

Many people aiming for weight loss prioritize cardio because it burns more calories and gives faster results. However, recent research shows that weight lifting is just as important as cardio, if not more. More trainers subscribe to this philosophy every day. Muscle burns more calories than fat. When you build muscle by weight lifting you’re actually increasing the number of calories you burn while at rest.

Muscle is much leaner than fat. Five pounds of muscle occupies less space than five pounds of fat. In order to create a lean, athletic physique, you need to build layers of muscle.

2. Workout with a friend (who doesn’t dish bad weight loss advice).

A weight loss partner can be the difference between reaching your goals and losing your motivation. When you have someone pushing you forward, you’re less likely to skip the gym or make bad food choices. A gym buddy will hold you accountable.

Partner with someone who is just as motivated as you, if not more. You want someone who won’t skip the gym. You can even choose a gym buddy who’s at a different level than you. If you have a friend who’s been going to the gym regularly for years, don’t be afraid to ask them if you can join.

3. Always start your day with breakfast.

A lot of people think of weight loss as eating as little as possible. Since most of us don’t have time to prepare a nice breakfast, it’s often the first meal to go. But skipping breakfast is detrimental to your weight loss goals. When you skip breakfast, your body starts the day without available calories. It will send signals to the brain that make you hungrier, cause cravings, and make you less likely to resist junk food. Research shows that people who skip breakfast end up eating more throughout the day. A balanced breakfast will help rev up your metabolism early in the day.

4. Focus on changes you can make permanently.

Fad diets don’t work. When people give up junk food for a short period of time, they often resume their unhealthy diet with added vigor. They eat more of the high-fat, sugary treats they love, regaining their original weight and packing on additional pounds.

In order to make permanent changes to your body, you have to make permanent changes to your lifestyle. While eating only organic, clean raw foods for the rest of your life is an admirable goal, it’s not realistic. Start with giving up foods you can live without, whether that’s bacon, soda, or vending machine snacks. Slowly work up to other changes, like only allowing dessert once a week, or vowing to bring homemade food for lunch three or four times a week. Before long, these changes will start to show. As long as you keep them up, the pounds will stay off.

5. Keep hydrated.

Your body can confuse thirst for hunger. To help keep cravings away, make sure to drink the recommended amount of water every day. Water is the only truly zero calorie drink in the world. You can drink it to keep your stomach full and mitigate hunger. If you stay properly hydrated, you might find that you have more energy for workouts and feel less tired throughout the day.

6. Don’t be hard on yourself.

Obsessing over losing weight is counterproductive! Making yourself stressful does crazy things to your body and you will ultimately have a harder time losing weight. So, don’t think too much and overcomplicate things—with weight loss, more often than not, simplicity is best.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

Clever Ways to Fight Stubborn Belly Fat

Belly fat can make your jeans feel extra snug, but really there’s something way worse about the stuff: When white fat expands in your abdomen nestling deep among your organs, it sets you up for some serious health trouble.

We know that this type of fat—called visceral fat—churns out stress hormones like cortisol and inflammatory substances called cytokines that affect the body’s production of insulin.

The result: Besides obesity, you’re also looking at increased risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. If that sounds awful to you, then it’s time to step up and do something about it – check out these 9 tips to finally rid your body of that excess stomach fat.

1. Always Be Moving

There’s one thing to like about visceral fat: It yields fairly easily to aerobic exercise. Running, biking, or swimming—basically anything that gets your heart rate up—wins over resistance training when it comes to getting rid of the stuff. A recent study from Duke University found that jogging the equivalent of 12 miles a week is enough to melt belly fat.

2. Protein, Protein and More Protein

You know that protein’s essential for a slimmer you. But here’s why protein really needs to play a prime roll on your plate: Your body starts to produce more insulin as you age, since your muscle and fat cells aren’t responding to it properly. Insulin promotes fat storage—especially around your belly—and a diet high in protein may protect you against insulin resistance. In a recent study, obese women who followed a diet for eight weeks that was roughly 30 perecent protein, 40 percent carbs, and 30 percent fat lost significantly more fat—including visceral pudge—than women who stuck to a plan that was 16 percent protein, 55 percent carbs, and 26 percent fat.

3. Polyunsaturates are Your Friends

Saturated fat packs on more visceral fat than polyunsaturated ones, according to a recent Swedish study. When subjects ate 750 more calories daily for seven weeks—either in the form of palm oil (saturated) or sunflower oil (polyunsaturated)—the former gained more visceral fat while the latter gained more muscle mass and less body fat. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in nuts, seeds, and fish.

4. Stock Up On Vinegar

Obese people who consumed a tablespoon or two of vinegar daily for eight weeks showed significant decreases in body fat—particularly visceral fat—according to a 2009 Japanese study. One theory is that the acetic acid in the vinegar produces proteins that burn up fat.

5. Yoga Is Not Only For Flexibility

Postmenopausal women who tried yoga for 16 weeks reported significant reductions in visceral fat in one 2012 study. If you’re just not that into downward dog, any sort of relaxation exercise (even simple deep breathing) can help. The key is to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is linked to belly fat.

6. Get More Quality Sleep

Routinely squeaking by on five hours or less per night increases visceral fat levels, according to a recent Wake Forest University study. As you likely already know, eight hours is ideal.

7. But Please Do Not Oversleep On Weekends

Women who wake up and go to bed at the same time each evening have lower levels of body fat, according to a recent Brigham Young University study. Chaotic sleep habits cause your internal clock to go haywire, which in turn causes your body to secrete fat-storing hormones like cortisol.

8. Drink Green Tea

Moderate exercisers who stocked up on the antioxidants found in green tea—called catechins—were more likely to lose abdominal fat while exercising than those who didn’t take them. One study put the daily dose at 625 mg—the equivalent of two or three eight-ounce cups of green tea.

9. Eat More Fiber

In a recently completed study that spanned over 5 years, subjects who increased their soluble fiber intake by 10 grams a day—the equivalent of two small apples, one cup of green peas, and one half-cup of pinto beans—reduced visceral fat by 3.7 percent after five years.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

“All this by a morning ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.

Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…

They’re right — it actually took me 14 days to lose 19 pounds.

Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently

Imagine your body being beach ready before Memorial Day.

Imagine enjoying the foods you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.

And imagine feeling good and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…

How To Easily Lose Weight Without Dieting

Restricting what you eat and how much you eat will not always work in your favor. Many studies have shown that restrictions of any kind are bound to fail in the long term. So, if you had previously gone on a strict diet and had some success but then bounced back to your fat weight again in a matter of weeks, you’re your own proof that restrictions don’t work!

But, fret not. You can certainly still lose a ton of weight without restrictions—all you have to do is make a few tweaks to your lifestyle. The following list of 16 simple ways will help you to lose weight without any forms of restriction. Imagine stepping on the scale and seeing your desired number pop up without depriving yourself or cutting out your favorite foods—and best of all, these terrific tips and tricks will help you achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss.

Carb Pairing trick burns 2 pounds of belly fat per day ? Click <<

1. Don’t Skip Breakfast

Contrary to popular belief, skipping meals doesn’t help you shed pounds. In fact, it’s the other way around! Skipping a morning meal causes your blood sugar to drop, making you feel hungry and sluggish throughout the morning. You’ll be more likely to binge on carb-rich or high-fat meals later on. Eating in the AM also gives your metabolism a nice boost, so you burn calories at a faster rate throughout the day.

2. Don’t Snack at Night

Do you snack when night rolls around? This destructive pattern can pack on the pounds. Your metabolism drops as you get ready to hit the pillow and catch some ZZZs. Breaking the habit can help you lose weight because you’ll end up consuming less calories throughout the day. Reduce your PM munchies by keeping your appetite under control and eating small, wholesome meals at regular intervals throughout the day. It also helps to brush your teeth after your final meal!

3. Drink More Water

Beverages besides water might taste great, but they often contain calories that add up throughout the day. These empty calories don’t affect hunger levels, so you’ll still eat as much as you would otherwise. Instead of drinking your calories, opt for good old H20. Sticking to water hydrates your body and helps it work efficiently while boosting your metabolism and curbing cravings.

4. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables contain tons of nutrients. Fresh produce can melt pounds by supplying you with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs to feel fully satisfied. Thanks to their high water content, these volume-rich foods take up room in your stomach and make you feel full. Fruits and vegetables also curb your cravings for carb-laden, sugar-filled snacks, and can prevent you from mindlessly munching. Instead of filling up on meat, eat more fruits and vegetables!

5. Eat Foods Loaded With Fiber

Your ticket to a slimmer figure is fiber. Your body doesn’t actually digest fiber. Instead, the nutrient passes through the intestines, latching onto fat and calories as it leaves your system. Fiber also removes toxic waste from the colon while balancing acidity in the intestines. It also acts as a bulking agent and allows food to move through your digestive track quicker. Never underestimate the fat-burning powers of filling fiber!

6. Eat Until You Are Full

Losing weight comes down to burning more calories than you eat, which leads us to portion control. Granted, this doesn’t mean consuming teeny tiny portions of food. It involves eating just enough to feel satisfied and fully nourished. Monitoring what and how much you’re eating will tip the scales in your weight loss favor. Begin portioning your meals according to the amount of calories you should eat per day.

7. Set A Fitness Goal

Give yourself a goal of taking at least 10,000 steps per day, or running a few miles a week. Goals like these will force you to sneak more exercise into your schedule. Once you start achieving your goals and feeling victorious, you’ll likely start including them in your routine and live a more active lifestyle. There are apps you can get on your phone that count your steps.

8. Eat More Protein

Protein tames hunger and curbs cravings, keeping you feeling full throughout the day. As a result, you’ll eat less and trim calories from your menu. The slimming powers of protein work soon after leaving your plate and entering your mouth. Protein-packed foods take more energy to digest and metabolize, meaning you’ll burn calories by simply eating them!

9. Eat More Salad

Never underestimate the slenderizing powers of a nutritious salad! The leafy dish, especially when packed with fibrous, filling vegetables and lean protein, can hook you up with essential nutrients and help you achieve rapid weight loss. Keep in mind that numerous dressings are rich in calories, ultimately defeating the whole diet-friendly purpose of salad. Reach for clean, healthy vinaigrettes and dressings. Olive oil and vinegar tastes delicious and serves as a healthy alternative to store-bought dressings.

10. Keep Temptations at Bay

When it comes to weight loss, the out of sight, out of mind rule serves you well. Rid your cupboard of fatty, overly-processed snacks and keep unhealthy indulgences out of reach. For example, if that leftover birthday cake is calling your name, then pop it in the freezer or bring it to work. Keeping temptations away will keep cravings at bay.

11. Manage Your Stress

Stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, causing your body to enter fight-or-flight mode. During this response, your body releases cortisol, which stimulates insulin release and throws off your blood sugar levels. The result? Your body will latch on to every calorie consumed and your appetite will increase. Higher hunger levels and a slower metabolism don’t mix well when it comes to losing weight! Banish stress and stay calm and collected.

12. Stay Out Of Boredom

More often than not, mindless snacking comes from pure boredom. When there’s nothing to do, scoping the kitchen for something to munch on seems enticing. Instead of taking your boredom out by stocking up on calories, distract yourself by reading a book, calling a friend, or going for a walk. Research shows that cravings pass within ten minutes, so banish these cravings by using that time to do something productive!

13. Keep A Bowl Of Washed Fruits

Have fruits pre-washed and handy at all times. This will make them easier to access in times of extreme hunger! Readily-available fruits that don’t require any meal prep whatsoever will be calling your name next time you’re dealing with a grumbling tummy. When it comes to satisfying hunger while losing weight, nothing will help you slim and trim more than nutrient-rich veggies and fruit!

14. Get Enough Sleep

Sleeping at least seven hours a night helps you lose weight. Sleep deprivation triggers a series of unhealthy choices. You’re more likely to reach for that latte, turn to takeout, or skip exercise. A lack of sleep will boost your hunger hormones, eliciting intense carb cravings and the likelihood of overeating. If you want to see the numbers on your scale drop, make sure to catch enough sleep.

15. Eat Slowly

When you eat slowly, you’ll pay more attention to when you’re full. Research shows that slowing down and taking the time to enjoy each bite of food will have you consuming less overall without feeling deprived. Drink water between bites, chew mindfully, and listen to your body when it says it’s full!

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

“All this by a morning ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.

Brilliant Tips That Helped Me Lose 30 Pounds

Losing weight has just as much to do with managing your emotions, mindset and your daily habits as it has to do with your food intake and exercise regimen. About two-thirds of my weight loss failures in the past 2 years can be attributed directly to my binge-eating habits—whatever weight I would lose would eventually come back. When I overcame the tendency to binge eat whatever was in sight, I started seeing the pounds drop off—and they dropped off fast! Here are 7 simple tips that have helped me manage my emotion, change my mindset and lose 30 pounds along the way.

1. Accept that weight loss is a process and it takes time

You needn’t be ashamed of how your body looks currently. You know that this isn’t permanent—and you know that you will get your body to where you want it to be—all you need is some time. Accept that you won’t lose the weight all at once—which is a good thing because losing weight too quickly means you’re not forming new and improved habits and it certainly doesn’t help you override the routine that had allowed your weight to creep up in the first place. The key to lasting weight loss is to build new habits one at a time—and for that it is a process and processes take time. When you keep this in mind, you won’t get frustrated when the scale does not move for days.

2. Exercise first thing in the morning

You can do additional cardio or weight lifting later in the day, but 10 to 20 minutes of exercise in the morning makes a huge difference. You will feel great about yourself right at the beginning of your day, which is a great place to start. I know you might be thinking you don’t have the time, but we never have the time. We have to create it.

3. Be consistent

Contrary to what people may have told you, your old habits will always be there—it’s just a part of you. So in order to create lasting change, you must create new habits. Then make these new habits part of your daily routine. If you don’t do this, you will slip back into your old ways—because that is what your brain is comfortable with. Also, make small changes instead of huge sweeping ones. When you go from 0 to 100, you will get exhausted and burn out. Think of how you feel when you sprint. That level isn’t sustainable long-term. Remember, as the saying goes, it takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to make it a lifestyle.

4. Always keep a healthy snack with you

I love protein bars because they feel like a treat. You know those days when you don’t end up having lunch when you were supposed to? This is when having a snack handy can work wonders. I’m usually a bit hungry and tired from the day, which leads to moments of weakness. If I don’t have something healthy nearby, I will most likely reach for foods I shouldn’t.

5. Prepare on Sundays

Get all of your food ready for the week over the weekend. Do your grocery shopping and cook your meals. You can keep some in the fridge to eat within a day or two, then freeze the rest. There is nothing better than coming home from a long day of work and only having to heat up your dinner since it is already prepared.

6. Drink plenty of water

You’ve probably heard it more than once: drinking more water will help you lose more weight. Drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body of waste, and acts as an appetite suppressant. Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight. Make sure you drink recommended eight to ten eight-ounce glasses per day to keep yourself hydrated.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

I met an old friend for lunch last year and I was super impressed with how she lost 72 pounds in 3 months.

Simple Lifestyle Tweaks To Shed Fat Fast

This is so familiar – you pledge to honor a daily elliptical routine and count every last calorie. But soon, you’re eating chips at the office and grabbing happy hour mojitos, thinking, diet over!

There is a better way to lose weight – Swap the all-or-nothing approach for one or two healthy switch-ups in your daily routine. Doing this can lead to more weight loss than you ever imagined.

Here are 16 tricks that will help you tweak your lifestyle to a skinnier and sexier body.

1. Eat More Snacks

Skipping snack time won’t necessarily lead to weight loss: Low calorie consumption can actually slow metabolism. Eating less than three times a day may benefit those who are obese, but research shows skipping meals throughout the day and eating one large meal at night can lead to some undesirable outcomes (like delayed insulin response) which may increase the risk of diabetes. Instead of forgoing breakfast or lunch, stick to a few meals a day with healthy snacks between them.

2. Stock Your Fridge With Healthy Foods

Make an effort to fill your fridge with healthy produce and proteins. And when the crisper is empty, make sure the freezer is stocked with frozen veggie mixes or berries (and don’t forget to grab the bags that are sans added sauces or sugar). You may be less apt to order out when you’ve got the makings of a healthy dinner right at home.

3. Eat a Hearty Breakfast

Skipping breakfast in order to “save your appetite” for dinner probably isn’t a safety shield for late-night noshing. While there’s still debate on how important breakfast really is, not eating until the afternoon may lead to binge-eating later (think: a massive dinner because you’re starving). Stick to a reasonably-sized breakfast with plenty of protein, so you’re not tempted to eat unhealthy snacks mid-morning.

4. Snack Before Going Out To Eat

Grabbing an apple or a small cup of yogurt before meeting friends for dinner can help ensure you’ll eat a reasonable amount of that enormous entrée. And be sure to reach for the protein—research shows that an afternoon snack of Greek yogurt can lead to reduced hunger, increased fullness, and less eating come dinner time.

5. Do Not Watch TV While You Eat

Eating while watching television is linked to poor food choices and overeating. Getting sucked into the latest episode of “Scandal” can bring on mindless eating—making it easy to lose track of just how many chips you’ve gone through. It’s not just the mindlessness of watching televsion that’ll get us. Commercials for unhealthy foods and drinks may increase our desire for low-nutrient junk, fast food, and sugary beverages.

6. Fill Up On Fibre

Eating more vegetables and other high-fibre items like legumes can help keep us fuller, longer. Look for at least five grams or more of the stuff per serving. Snack on some of our favorite high-fibre picks like stuffed baked apples or jazzed-up oats.

7. Ditch The Added Sugar

Adding sugar to food may increase the risk for cardiovascular disease and obesity. Stick to sugar that comes in its natural form (think: fruits, veggies, and whole grains) and scrap that spoonful on your cereal or in your coffee.

8. Skip Frying

Even healthy food can go bad when it’s been dropped in a fryer. Instead, pan fry or pop a dish in the oven. Use non-stick spray to sauté foods, or rub oil onto a pan with a paper towel for a light coating.

9. Eat the Fruit, not Drink It

Juices (which are often not 100 percent fruit) provide some vitamins, but without the same fiber and phytonutrients as a real piece of fruit. Take an apple for instance: The average apple juice box has nearly double the sugar and seven times less fiber than the apple itself.

10. Use Free Weights

Strength training on its own is a great idea— but it gets even better when you set yourself free. And by that, we mean squatting with a pair of dumbbells instead of using the leg press. Working out with free weights can activate muscles more effectively, and adding muscle can help torch calories.

11. Do Functional Exercises

Functional exercise has been shown to increase strength and balance and reduce the risk of injury all while working multiple muscle groups at the same time. All that movement promotes muscle gain, which can increase metabolism, which can help shed fat. Added bonus: Functional exercises can make real-life tasks—like hauling groceries up stairs—easier.

12. Stand Up – All the Time

It may sound ludacris to peel your tush from a desk chair at work, but sitting all day has been linked to obesity, poor posture, and chromic pain. Try a sit-stand workstation to switch things up and burn more calories.

13. Have Sex – All the Time

Working up a sweat in bed can burn around 60 calories in just a half hour. Having sex also reduces blood pressure and overall stress levels (and stress can lead to weight gain). Need we say more?

14. Sleep – A Lot More Than Before

Sleep not only reduces stress, helps us heal faster, and prevents depression, it can also help shave off pounds. That’s because sleep loss is linked to changes in appetite and the metabolism of glucose (sugar in the blood). Moral of the story: Sleep is associated with less weight gain.

15. Just Get Moving

A simple phrase for losing weight is: Move more and eat less. The secret is that moving doesn’t just mean hitting the track or going to the gym. Make the conscious decision to get more steps into the day by taking the stairs, having a walking meeting, or parking the car far away from a store’s entrance.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

“All this by a morning ritual?” I asked.

Eating Tricks To Drop 2 Dress Sizes Quickly

Whatever helps you stick to your a healthier and cleaner eating lifestyle is a successful strategy for losing weight fast. Below are popular weight loss tips and tricks I’ve taken from women who have successfully lost and kept off at least 30 pounds – and a couple from my own weight loss journal, which I’ve had kept during my fat years. I hope you will make good use of them.

1. Rid your house of junk

Get rid of any junk food or snacks that might be a trigger for you – make sure you clean up the entire house (and office space) and not just the kitchen. If you need to keep certain foods around for your kids or husband that are not part of your plan, use a cupboard just for them that is off-limits to you.

2. Keep a journal

No surprise here. Purchase a journal to use for your weight loss journey to keep track of ALL your nutritional intake and your workouts. Know what food works and what doesn’t early on so you don’t get stuck and feel frustrated. It can be a hassle to log everything you eat but it keeps you honest and accountable, and it really does work to make you lose weight fast.

3. Plan ahead

As the saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. But don’t make a big deal about it, and don’t stress about it—just do it. Each evening, think ahead to the next day and plan out what you’re going to eat. You can use your journal to pencil in what you plan to eat during the next day or two. Stay calm and organized, and always make sure you have healthy food with you. Pack an insulated lunch bag every day so you’re not tempted to stray from the plan. Remember that nothing tastes as good as lean and sexy feels.

4. Cook extra protein

Any time you cook meat, poultry, fish, or other protein, make a little extra to keep on hand in your fridge to throw on a salad or just grab and go. Keep hard-cooked eggs in the fridge at all times for an easy snack. You can also keep cans of tuna and salmon at the ready as an easy source of protein.

5. Keep things interesting

Do whatever it takes to make healthy and skinny dinners interesting and exciting. Make use of the available fruit and vegetable delivery company that provides many different varieties of vegetables that can be delivered to your home once or twice a week. And mix and match your produce with all kinds of protein options so you never get bored.

6. Keep a stash of frozen seafood

Buy frozen wild-caught fish (orange roughy, cod, mahi mahi, tilapia, flounder) that can be cooked in just a few minutes for a quick meal. I’ve brushed Dijon mustard on a frozen salmon fillet, stuck it in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, and served it with steamed veggies. Voilà—dinner is ready. And tasty too!

7. Keep all-purpose seasoning handy

Healthy eating can sometimes be bland. So, I use various all-purpose seasoning on my dinner most nights, and many times on my eggs in the morning. It’s a quick way to spice up a meal and keep my tastebuds happy. Salsa is also a figure-friendly condiment you can enjoy freely, and mustard works great as a dipping sauce for chicken or other protein.

8. Satisfy your need for a crunch

If you have the need to eat something crunchy, buy a small bag of coleslaw, rainbow slaw, or broccoli slaw and mix it with tuna, chicken, or other protein for an instantly satisfying, crunch-worthy salad. I also sprinkle ground flax seeds on the salad for a nutty taste along with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Keeping sliced cucumber or baby carrots in your fridge provides you with another good crunchy snack option.

One last thing… you should try this super simple morning ritual that burns 1 pound of belly fat per day…

Slim in My 40s As in My 20s ?

I’m Hannah and I’m a 42 year old single mom and I used to be fat.

If you give me 5 minutes, I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you…

Did you know that overweight people are as much as 1,200% more likely to develop diabetes?

Did you know excess body fat is a ticking bomb ready to blow your life into pieces?

Nope, I didn’t know any of this either.

I only found out after I almost died from a heart attack…

And my blood sugar levels were through the roof and I was borderline in developing full Type 2 diabetes.

You’re not worried about diabetes or heart diseases, you say?

Okay, here’s what else being fat has done to me:

Chronic pain in my head, back and joints — day after day I felt miserable with no end in sight.

Always feeling tired and lacking energy — I’d slogged through my day and then find that I don’t sleep worth a damn at the end of it!

Dramatic risk of heart attacks, cancer and stroke constantly stalked me.

Risk of depression and even brain diseases like Alzheimer’s still haunts me. Enough said.

I know it’s hard to break the fat cycle.

In fact, I know why it’s hard — and the truth is that it’s not really your fault.

You see, I dealt with my weight problem for years…

Hell, I was 40 pounds overweight, and for a woman who’s 5 foot 5, that’s pretty much obese!

I used to hate the looks I’d get. Like I was doing something wrong just by being fat and doing it around them!

People looked down on me and figured I was just lazy and didn’t care about how I looked.

In truth, I was actually trying all kinds of stuff to drop the weight.

It’s a lot tougher than most people know. And that’s because most people don’t know how the body actually works and how to get the body to burn fat rather than store fat.

I tried diets, fasts, fad workouts and nothing really helped.

I’d lose a few pounds but never really seemed to look better or feel better, for that matter. Even when I ate organic healthy foods, it didn’t seems to do anything for me long term.

And did I put the runners on and hit the streets? Sure did – and as it turns out, this was actually hurting me rather than helping!

I just felt awful, physically and mentally… I was ready to give up until I saw an ad on a Facebook group I was part of.

This guy John Barban was looking for overweight women over 40 to volunteer in a study for a newly developed all-organic weight loss supplement.

I’d heard of John before, although I didn’t really know much about him.

But I’ve tried everything to lose weight, so I figured what did I have to lose?

I sent a message to John. He called me that same night to chat about my situation and his new weight loss supplement.

That talk really opened my eyes and opened a door to a better life for me… and the shocking part was that the true way to lose weight is simpler than you might think…

It’s all about leptin — the hormone in your body that controls how much you eat. See, when you eat, your fat cells release leptin, which sends signal to your brain to let it know that you’ve had enough to eat and that you should stop eating.

But that only works if your body isn’t resistant to leptin.

The trouble is because of our continuous 21st century exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC), our bodies inevitably become resistant to leptin — making it impossible for leptin to send signals to our brains.

So, in a nutshell, leptin resistance is the main reason we are always hungry and cannot control the urge to keep eating, keeping us gorging on food all day, everyday.

For every morning in the next 2 months, I took the one tiny plant-filled capsule that John developed with a glass of water.

I look and feel great now.

I dropped 40 pounds overall, narrowly missing the on rushing diabetes train and heart disease which was threatening me.

My depression went away and I even met my new husband shortly afterward!

John literally saved my life!

1 week, 1 vegetable capsule each morning with water and 9 pounds lost!

No starvation, no crazy foods, no hours in the gym and no gruelling cardio – just simple science based on ancient wisdom.

With such tremendous success with the study, John has since made it his mission in life to bring his weight loss supplement to women across the world.

If you are a woman who has struggled to lose weight in the past, you owe it to yourself to watch John’s presentation, which you can find here.

Turn up your speakers and click the play button to watch now.

I really hope it has even a fraction of the impact on your life that it has had on mine because the information you’re about to learn has forever changed my life.

Weight Loss Tip From 42 Year Old Mom Who Lost 22 Pounds in 15 Days

Burning fat is the holy grail of weight watchers everywhere, but how fast your body burns calories depends on several things.

However, there are 10 effortless ways you can do to keep shedding those unwanted love handles.

1. Chill out—literally

Cold is one of nature’s most powerful metabolic boosters, helping increase your levels of “brown fat,” a type of fat that burns more calories, even at rest.

Going outdoors in cold weather can increase your non-exercise thermogenesis (NEAT) score, helping you blast fat away. The metabolic act of staying warm is an easy way to boost your metabolism without breaking a sweat.

2. Eat an apple before eating anything else

Adding more apples to your diet can help your shed unwanted fat. All you have to do is eat an apple before you eat anything else.

You don’t have to make any other dietary changes. This can decrease your overall calorie intake because of the satiety the apple provides.

I’ve seen clients increase their metabolism and lose 10 pounds by making this one change.

3. Amp up your water

Drinking plenty of water is one of the best things you can do to support a healthy metabolism but, let’s face it, plain old’ H2O can get boring.

To help you drink more of it, try adding flavor to your water with sliced fruit or frozen berries. Or try changing the temperature for an extra metabolic increase. Nothing wakes you up like hot lemon water.

4. Use the bathroom on a different floor

When it comes to burning fat, every little bit of movement helps. So look for unusual ways to work in a few more steps, especially stairs, into your day.

One way to do this? Only use a bathroom located on a different floor of your office or home. Those runs up and down the stairs add up.

5. Make sure you get enough magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for your health.

Magnesium is required for the body to produce and store energy and yet 75 percent of Americans do not get their dietary reference intake (DRI) of this important fat burning-boosting mineral.

You can find magnesium in leafy greens, seeds, nuts, legumes, and other foods.

6. Eat something already

It’s common for people looking to lose weight to slash their calories. This can make you so tired and grouchy that you skip your workout or end up bingeing on junk food later.

Several studies suggest that restricting calories can slow down metabolism, including a small, 2010 study in the journal Physiology & Behavior.

It found that people who lost weight due to calorie restriction and fasting had a reduction in metabolic rate that played a role in their re-gaining of the weight.

7. Have a protein shake

You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to benefit from a protein shake. Many nutritionists themselves eat more protein to help the body burn more fat, even at rest. And protein shakes are an easy, cost-effective way to get more protein in your diet without having to turn on a stove.

8. Eat your greens

Veggies take more work for your body to digest, helping increase the metabolic afterburn of your meal. This extra calorie burn from eating plant foods can last up to four hours. It raises your metabolism, and the extra energy you’ll feel will make you want to move your body more.

9. Go low-carb at breakfast

Skipping breakfast won’t necessarily kill your metabolism—that’s a metabolism myth—but what you eat can impact your metabolism for the rest of the day.

To improve your body’s ability to burn fat, start your day with low-carb, no-sugar foods that provide protein and enough fat that you’re not hungry.

Have a plain Greek yogurt topped with a handful of berries and nuts, for example, as a quick and easy low-carb breakfast.

10. Skip the soda when eating out

What’s tastier than a hamburger with an ice-cold root beer?

Lots of people love ordering a sweet drink along with their dinner, but a 2017 study in the journal BMC Nutrition suggests that drinking a sugar-sweetened beverage while eating a high-protein meal causes the body to store more of the meal as fat and slows down your metabolism.

It maybe be a better idea to swap the soda for water or sparkling water.

One last thing… you should try this 7-second immunity ritual that burns 2 pound+ of belly fat per day…

“All this by a 7-second immunity ritual?” I asked.

I met an old friend for lunch earlier year and I was super impressed with how she lost 70 pounds in 3 months.

She said, “It’s not so much about the 7-second immunity ritual but more about how it releases fat-blasting molecules that signal your brain and body to burn off pounds and inches of trapped fat quickly and naturally.”

Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.

Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…

They’re right — it actually took me 14 days to lose 20 pounds.

Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently

Imagine your body being beach ready before Memorial Day.

Imagine enjoying the foods you love: pasta, wine, or even a dessert — completely guilt-free.

And imagine feeling good and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…

All while knowing your health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals ever discovered.
