{"product_id":"2940014100786","title":"Lose Weight By Burning MORE Calories!","description":"Your body is constantly burning calories in order to keep you going - think of it as a fire within you, burning your fat and food away. Your metabolism is the amount of energy in calories that your body burns in order to maintain its weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the battle of the bulge and the fight against fat, boosting your metabolism is one of the best\u003cbr\u003eweapons you can have in your arsenal. Getting your internal fire burning will help you lose weight and feel better about yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart Eating\u003cbr\u003eYep. Eat. You have to eat in order to keep your metabolism running in an optimal manner. Are\u003cbr\u003eyou skipping breakfast in order to cut back on calories and lose weight? Bad battle plan,\u003cbr\u003esoldier. Let’s work out a battle plan together here and I’ll show you just why you need to eat,\u003cbr\u003ewhen you should eat and what you should eat.\u003cbr\u003eRemember that not eating sends your army into survival mode, right? It believes you are\u003cbr\u003estarving and so slows down it’s metabolism in order to conserve its stores. Let’s say you’ve\u003cbr\u003ebeen asleep for 8 hours. You didn’t have anything to eat for two to three or more hours before\u003cbr\u003eyou went to bed last night. Now your body has been without food for about 11 or 12 hours. If\u003cbr\u003eyou skip breakfast, you’re adding more time and your body is starting to whimper and wonder\u003cbr\u003ewhere its fuel is and if it’s ever going to come and should it start conserving now because\u003cbr\u003estarvation is just around the corner? You’ve got your little soldiers all up in a lather and that’s\u003cbr\u003enot a good thing.\u003cbr\u003e8\u003cbr\u003eNow, what happens if you go to bed, get up and eat a healthy breakfast? You have, in essence,\u003cbr\u003ebroken your fast. You’ve been fasting for ten or more hours and now it’s over. Your little\u003cbr\u003esoldiers can relax and get back to their normal duty, which is burning calories instead of storing\u003cbr\u003ethem.\u003cbr\u003eEat small meals and eat them often during the day. Research has shown that breaking down\u003cbr\u003ethe traditional three meals a day into six smaller meals, spaced evenly throughout the day will\u003cbr\u003eresult in a boost to your metabolism.\u003cbr\u003eNo this does not mean you can go out and have a Mcbreakfast meal in the morning, a steak and\u003cbr\u003efries two hours later, five Twinkies and a ho-ho next, then tacos with sour cream and\u003cbr\u003eguacamole for your next meal, BBQ ribs with mashed potatoes for your fifth meal and a trip to\u003cbr\u003ethat all-you-can-stuff-into-yourself-buffet at the mall for your sixth and final meal of the day.\u003cbr\u003eSure, you might be boosting your metabolism a bit, but you’re overcompensating with too\u003cbr\u003emany calories and losing the Battle of the Bulge in a BIG way. Your soldiers will be so over-run\u003cbr\u003ewith calories that they will be forced to store them as fat.\u003cbr\u003eBreak down your meals into six smaller and HEALTHIER meals during the day. Lower your\u003cbr\u003ecaloric intake in a healthy manner and your little soldiers will not only win the battle, you’ve\u003cbr\u003egiven them the right weapons to win the entire war.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, avoid white in your diet. Simple sugars, rice and refined flour are all absorbed quickly by\u003cbr\u003eyour body and are turned into fat stores. Eat more complex carbohydrates. They take a longer\u003cbr\u003etime to be absorbed into your body and this enables your blood sugar to remain level. Try\u003cbr\u003eeating brown rice instead of white rice, whole grains in your breads and pasta made from\u003cbr\u003ewheat flour instead of white refined flours.\u003cbr\u003eAvoid caffeine and drink green tea instead. Caffeine is known to bock absorption of vitamin C,\u003cbr\u003ecreate a bit of unhealthy acid in your system and stimulate sugar cravings. If there’s one thing\u003cbr\u003eyou don’t need when you’re trying to lose weight, its sugar cravings. Green tea has\u003cbr\u003eantioxidants and doesn’t have all those nasty side effects that coffee can give you.\u003cbr\u003e9\u003cbr\u003eDrink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Water flushes out all the toxins that are set free when\u003cbr\u003eyou’re losing weight. If you are dehydrated, your metabolism slows down. Try drinking very\u003cbr\u003ecold wate when you’re pushing the H2O. Your body has to remain warm and it will boost your\u003cbr\u003emetabolism a bit each time it has to warm up after your glass of ice water.\u003cbr\u003eChill Out and Heat Up\u003cbr\u003eDo you enjoy a nice long soak in a hot tub full of water hot enough to blister your skin? Who\u003cbr\u003edoesn’t? How about spending time in a steamy sauna with sweat pouring off your body?\u003cbr\u003eMaybe you like turning your thermostat down in the winter till it’s so cold you can see your\u003cbr\u003ebreath in the house when you talk?\u003cbr\u003eIf these activities appeal to you then slap yourself on the back (yes that will burn calories too)\u003cbr\u003ebecause heating yourself up and chilling yourself down have been shown to boost your\u003cbr\u003emetabolism by about 20%.\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking of heat, add a bit of spice to your life and your food.
