Okay, that’s it, all done with the holidays, so lets get going on weight loss. No more bad nutrition, get back to your regular calorie intake and 6 small meals per day. You are eating 5-6 mini-meals per day, right? If not, get started, and here are some more weight loss tips.
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Get your carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables first, before using breads and pastas. You’ll get far more nutrients and fiber, and fewer calories.
2. Eat fiber
The average American falls far short of the fiber recommendations (of 25+ grams of fiber per day). Add an ounce of raw nuts to your daily food plan to get more fiber and to satisfy your appetite.
3. Eat more protein
Protein fills you up and doesn’t mess with your blood sugar, so you’ll have more mental energy.
4. Have something for breakfast.
While the exact reason isn’t clear, breakfast eaters tend to be slimmer than non-breakfast eaters. Start your day with a whey protein shake and an apple if you are in a rush.
5. Drink water
At least 8 cups per day. This will help fill you up and helps you avoid constipation.
6. Exercise less, but harder.
Forget about long, slow cardio. Learn how to do interval training instead. This will boost your metabolism all day long.
7. Use your bodyweight
There are hundreds of bodyweight exercises you can do at home, from beginner to advance.
And those are your 7 tips to help you lose weight, burn fat, control your appetite, boost your metabolism and get the body you want.
