11 Ways To Cut Off Some Weight!

Spend more time each day burning fat than you do storing it, and over time, you’ll bury your belly forever. Sound simple? It is.
Here are 11 ways to begin the process to a new healthier and thinner you!

1) Eat more protein – Protein burns more calories to digest then carbs or fat. Do the math!

2) Get Up off your Bum! – When exercising doing exercises standing up……..you burn more calories, involve more muscles

3) Use good posture – Good posture when standing and when exercising burns more calories. Forcing more muscle to help you out through everyday activites and also doing exercise will really tighten you up!

4) Close your eyes – When you’re using the elliptical trainer, bike or walking slow. Try letting go of the handles and closing your eyes. Without the visual feedback, your core muscles will have to work harder to keep you balanced, burning more calories.

5) Rent motivation – When your exercise becomes dull or you just have a hard time building motivation then rent it – With such movies as Rocky (gym), Hoosiers (Team Sports), Coach Carter (Basketball), Chariots of Fire or Without Limits (running). Or go to You Tube and look at videos like this one – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSM1mvMypWU

6) Don’t skip meals – Not eating for long periods of time puts your body into a catabolic state, meaning it starts to break down muscle tissue for energy and therefore conserves fat.

7) Hit the weights – Just 20 minutes a day of lifting, three days a week, will help. Harvard research shows that 60 minutes of weight training per week has a greater reduction on waist size than almost any other variable.

Eat your biggest meal of the day after you lift – It takes calories to digest food. And researchers at the University of Nevada found that it takes 73% more calories to process that food after a weight-training session than if you hadn’t worked out at all! So save those simple carbs to eat after your workout along with some protein and you’ll be feeling good!

9) Join a league – Sign up for a sport such as softball, soccer, or even kickball. It’ll automatically schedule exercise sessions into your week, and because you’re part of a team, you’ll have peer pressure that will make sure you keep showing up.

10) Avoid foods that come in a bag or box – Typically, these are highly processed carbs foods that quickly raise blood-sugar levels and shut down your body’s ability to burn fat. Gives you those highs of energy and lows also! Keep energy all the time and eat whole unprocessed foods! Get those veggies!

11) Try Sprinting! – All-out sprints with brief periods of rest is the most effective form of cardio for fat loss. Try a 1-to-2 “work-to-rest” ratio. That is, sprint two times longer than you rest. So a good distance to start with is 20 seconds, then rest 40 seconds, then repeat 3-7 times. Feel the fat just burning off!

There you have it. Soon you’ll be looking like this!
