Simple tips to effectively burn calories
There a number of effective (and proven) ways to make your body burn off more calories therefore making you loose weight/tone up.
One method is to increase you metabolic rate so you burn more calories then you take in, there a number of ways you can do this but basically speaking a person’s metabolic rate is the speed in which it burns calories off. For example if you consume 3000 calories a day and also burns 3000 calories a day will stay at the same weight as they even each other out. Therefore if you do more sports/exercise your metabolic rate will increase so if the same person consumed 3000 calories a day but burnt off 5000 calories a day they would be loosing weight.
Another way of burning more calories off is to build muscle, its fact that for every pound of muscle you gain, you will burn a further 50 calories a day and regular weight training will increase you metabolic rate by up to 15%. Something as little as 3 times a week for 20minutes per session is enough to tone your body up and build muscle, and hey – at the end of it you will look better regardless of your weight.
One way is to eat little and often, by eating small regular meals will help keep your metabolism going rather then eating say 2-3 large meals a day. This is due to the fact that once you have eaten, after a few hours your metabolism slows down therefore you won’t be burning of as many calories as you would if you kept eating small meals every few hours. Also its been proven that the consumption of spicy foods such as chilli can increase the metabolism by a shocking 50% for up to 3 hours after eating!
