Things You Can Do To Lose Fat Without Even Trying
Fat loss doesn't have to be painful. Try these simple
tips and you'll see just how easy it can be.

1. Eat smaller more frequent meals - not only is your metabolism boosted
every time you eat something, your body can more efficiently process smaller
meals. Instead of having 3 large meals in a day, try to break them up into 5
or 6 smaller meals.
2. Drink more water
- regular water intake helps to flush away waste products in the body. Get at
least six to eight 8 oz. glasses per day. An easy way to do this is to keep
a water bottle handy and drink from it frequently.
3. Be inefficient
- do you need to go to the kitchen to get a couple of things? Break it up into
two trips even if you can do it in one. Being inefficient like this can easily
double your activity level, burning calories without even trying.
4. Eat more protein
- sources of protein include foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, beans,
lean red meats, etc. Your body burns more calories processing protein than either
carbohydrates or fats. Protein also helps to support your muscle tissue, which
burns calories all day long!
5. Take the stairs instead
of the elevator - any time you can add in a little more physical activity,
do it. This doesn't mean you need to slog up 20 flights of stairs. Even a flight
or two done regularly will add up.
6. Don't let yourself
get hungry - when you get hungry you will have a much greater tendency to
overeat when you do finally get something to eat. As well, because your body
is starting to go into starvation mode, it will be much more likely to hold
onto whatever you give it.
7. Order small portions
at restaurants - it's tough to order small french fries when "supersizing"
your order is such a great "value." Take note, however, your real
savings will occur in the calories that don't end up on your backside.
8. Eat more fiber
- fiber is very filling. By eating more fiber you will find yourself full sooner.
This feeling of fullness will last a long time as well.
9. Wait 20 minutes between
servings - your brain takes at least 20 minutes to register that you're
full. By waiting that long, you'll give your brain a chance to realize that
you don't really need any more food.
10. Cheat on your diet
- one thing I always make my clients promise is that they will cheat on their
diet. The only thing I ask that they do is to cheat ONLY when they have planned
to cheat. By planning when you are going to eat the foods you crave, you take
back control of your eating habits.
This way you no longer "give
in" to your cravings. You "reward yourself" for sticking to proper
nutritional habits. Do this once or twice a week and you will feel far more
in control of your eating.
In conclusion, if you follow even a few of these 10 easy tips in the long term,
you will certainly notice a difference in your overall weight and health.
