Instead of exercising for 30 minutes on the treadmill, step it up to 60 minutes. You don’t need to walk, step or jog faster, only longer. Extending your workouts past 30 minutes gives your body more time to burn fat, as opposed to only burning carbohydrates for energy.
Added tip, don’t eat more because you exercise more. Lean bodies are nutritionally efficient bodies.
Early sleep lowers the amount of cortisol levels in your blood. Higher than normal cortisol levels encourages fat storage. As an added boost, when you regulate your sleep, you levels of melatonin kick in like clockwork each night to not only enhance your sleep, but to actually burn fat better.
OK, you have to get your double exercise time from somewhere, so it comes from your sleep time. Getting up earlier also helps you sleep better. With the added fatigue from exercising and going to sleep at a regular time, your dozing hours will be more restful and you probably won’t even notice those 30 minutes that you skimped on.
Closing down you kitchen a 6:30 has several weight loss benefits. First, by not eating for a full twelve hours each day, you give your stomach time to empty itself and allow you body to use excess fat for energy. Second, if your last meal is at 6:30pm and you crawl into bed by 11pm, your body won’t be so busy digesting food all night long- making your rest all the more peaceful.
Metabolism manipulation is the cornerstone of weight loss. Manipulate your meals and you manipulate your metabolism.
If you normally eat 3-5 meals a day, break those feasts in the 6-8 mini meals. Remember, do not add more food just split the meals in two. Regularly feeding your body keeps the body’s energy level at its optimum.
Moreover, you’ll have the energy you need to make it through an extended cardio session.
There you have it, fives steps to the slimmer you. And yes, it works like clockwork. Give yourself two weeks and watch the last bit of flab slip away.
