#1 – Move More
Passive people burn about 1/3 fewer calories per day. Just by taking every opportunity to move will make quite a big difference in the number of calories you will burn in one day. Just the smallest movements can add up to lots of calories over time. The secret is to keep moving throughout your day. Remember the word “move”, write it on post-notes and put them in places you will notice them when you are sitting still. Also take every opportunity to move – here is just some of the ideas for burning extra calories every day: clench and then release your muscles, stand up and stretch, move your head from side to side, change your position, wriggle and fidget, pace up and down, use the restroom that is upstairs, stand up while talking on the phone and step from side to side, park in the farthest corner of the parking lot, swing your legs and tap your feet.
#2 – Eat Less But More Often
Researches show that eating small meals every 2-3 hours will keep your metabolism constantly working to digest and absorb food which requires energy.
#3 – Eat Fat
If you want to feel great and burn the fat off you need to put it in first. Our bodies need fat to work efficiently. Just by consuming many servings of healthy fats every day your body increases your calorie burning potential.
