"I have been working out for the past few months and eating clean every 6 days in a week and yet it takes ages for my weight to drop". Sound familiar? Good morning reader and how are you today? Obviously everyone is good and we're in the 9th week of Healthy Lifestyle Program. From today onwards it will get much more interesting and fun to do.
So how do you lose that extra weight?
Build muscle by performing resistance training.
- Muscle burn calorie at rest
- More muscle means more calorie burn
Cardiovascular/ aerobic exercise
-Keep your self chill/hydrate by drinking lots of water
Snack attack or snacking between meals help increasing your metabolic rate.
- Thermogenesis (Digesting, absorbing, transporting and storing the food you consume also takes calories)
Consume more protein in your diet
- Protein contains 4 calories per gram
- Carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram
- Fat contains 9 calories per gram
Coffee
- caffeine helps in increasing the level of circulating fatty acids, this does mean that it helps in enhancing fat oxidation.
- Drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day and your body will start burning calories faster
Get Active
- Increase your general physical activity throughout the day by walking instead of driving.
Keep in mind that how you look is important than the scale.
