8 SIMPLE THINGS YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO START LOSING WEIGHT AND IMPROVING HEALTH! 1. Eat a Big Breakfast. Research suggests that filling up on a healthy, hearty breakfast helps you lose about a pound a week. Skipping breakfast puts your body in starvation mode especially after not consuming calories for the hours you were asleep, triggering your body to hoard calories instead of burning them. 2. Add Protein to Every Meal. Try to include at least two eggs, or 2 oz of beef, turkey, chicken, fish or tofu in every meal. Studies show that adding at least this much protein to your meals is enough to double your metabolic rate for two hours. It takes a lot of energy (calories) to digest and use protein. 3. Spice up Your Food. Spice your food with lots of chili powder, ginger, cayenne, spicy mustard, or tumeric. Hot flavorings help stop your fat burning liver from slowing down, upping your metabolism rate up to 25% for at least an hour. 4. Stay Hydrated. Staying well hydrated by fitting in about eight tall glasses of water daily. Studies have shown this level of hydration will help increase your muscles’ ability to convert food to energy by as much as 10% and cut fatigue levels by 50%. 5. Get Sunlight. Spending about 20 minutes in sunlight each morning will not only help support healthy vitamin D levels but can also help crank up your weight loss by signaling your cells to burn fat faster for fuel. 6. Glucomannan Fiber Before Meals. Glucomannan has recently gained much notoriety in the natural weight loss category most notably after being mentioned on the Dr. Oz show on his Best and Worst for Weight Loss segment in 2010. His "Best" diet pill being Glucomannan and the "Worst" being Ephedrine. Part of his reason behind his positive support of Glucomannan was because, "this added fiber will keep you fuller for longer periods of time and less likely to eat mindlessly." 7. Keep a Food Journal. It's been proven time and again that the simple act of keeping a food journal has successfully helped people lose weight. By keeping track of what you are eating, you have the tendency to think twice about what makes it to your plate. 8. Eliminate Sugary Drinks and Sodas. High sugar drinks and sodas are empty calories that do nothing more for your health than add to your waistline. For just a month try switching out all beverages with water. You can squeeze some fresh lemon if you want to make your water a little more interesting. ( do not cheat with diet sodas!) Now is the time to put the above to work for you! Simple changes like these can go a long way to helping you achieve your weight and health goals. For more information or to read more articles on weight and health, please visit us at:
