Lose Weight – Healthy and Fast Tips

1. Eat protein with every meal. Protein is a dieter’s friend. It helps you regulate your hunger and it also stimulates the production of glucagon which is a hormone that helps counter fat making properties associated with other hormones.

2. Fill half your plate with vegetables. By dividing your plate and filling half with veggies or salad you fill your stomach with fiber, provide your body with nutrients and research shows this simple trick can reduce your calorie intake by 20% for the meal.

3. Keep carbs away from bedtime. When you eat carbohydrates your body causes a spike in your insulin level. When insulin is high it can block fat burning and if this is right before bed you can prevent your body from burning fat over night.

4. Stay hydrated. Your metabolism is a chemical process that runs on water and when you are dehydrated your metabolism will burn calories and fat slower. Start your morning with a glass of water and have a glass every couple of hours.

5. Exercise regularly. Exercise will help your body burn more calories and if you add a few short bursts of high intensity where your breathing and heart rate are elevated for one minute intervals you will also stimulate your fat burning metabolism. Research shows this can cause your body to burn fat up to 9 times better over the course of the day.
