Choose at least 4 of the following. Doing them all would be that much better.
- Sleep 30 minutes more every night. The body builds muscle while you sleep. 7 to 8 hours works best to boost your metabolism. Being refreshed will help you make better food and exercise choices.
- No skipping your exercises because you are tired. No sugar fix for breakfast for quick energy. A good nights sleep will make these choices easier.
- Make one food sacrifice. This will slash a few hundred calories from your diet instantly.
- Drink mainly water, With 0 calories, 0 carbs and 0 sodium it's a no brainer. Water flushes out excess water weight and jump starts metabolism. Add a lemon wedge or mint leaves if you need flavor.
- No white bread or pasta, like white rice, spaghetti noodles or dinner rolls. These simple carbs cause bloating around the belly. You are likely to over- eat because simple carbohydrates are digested very quickly, leaving you hungry.
- Substitute veggies for the above. Whole grain food won't change effect. For example, chicken sandwich becomes chicken salad or chips and dip becomes carrot sticks and dip. Veggies are mostly water and help flush out water weight. Veggies are complex carbs and digest slowly.
- Cardio, 30 minutes per day. Pick a routine that engages multiple muscles simultaneously. Alternate short bursts of intense cardio with slower activity to burn even more calories. Trainers agree.
- Exception to water only rule. Drinking coffee one hour before your workout will help energize you to burn more calories by pushing yourself harder. black coffee 5 calories, splash of skim milk
- 36 push ups and lunges every other day helps sculpt muscle for a more streamlined appearance. Do 3 sets of 12 each, every other day.
