Whether summertime is approaching or you’re making your New Year’s resolution, losing weight is no small task. That’s why I’ve curated an awesome list of weight loss tips (from myself and others) so you can see the change you want and know how to get slim efficiently.
I’ve found that it’s easy for people to say “eat these things and do these exercises, and you’ll lose weight!” But these tips on weight loss don’t cover everything. They don’t talk about what’s preventing you from losing weight or help you with meal planning so you lose pounds.
Metabolism Boosters
In this post on 10 Simple Ways to Increase Metabolism, I give you 6 general weight loss tips when it comes to your metabolism. The things that most people (but not everyone) know and talk about.
And then I go into more detail on 4 ways to increase your metabolism that aren’t as well known. Almost all of them have helped me to lose weight more quickly and see an awesome change in my health and body.
A Quick Example of a General Metabolism Booster: So many of us have already heard that eating a good breakfast helps us to keep the pounds off because it prevents us from overeating. But it’s also the peak time that your body burns calories, and eating a hearty healthy breakfast is a great way to boost your metabolism for the rest of the day. Pretty awesome right?
A Quick Example of a Lesser Known Metabolism Booster: Eating for your blood type.That’s right, you can lose weight and speed up your metabolism if you eat according to your blood type. I found this out through a book called Eat Right 4 Your Type by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. So for instance, if you have type B blood, your body will thrive well on a meat based diet, but things like tomatoes, buckwheat, lentils, and peanuts will slow down your metabolism.
Drinks for Metabolism
Another one of the weight loss tips that I’ve also found to help me lose weight are metabolism boosting drinks. Creating something simple like green tea with berries is an awesome way to drop a few pounds. The green tea has an antioxidant in it called Catechin which speeds up your metabolism (and adding the berries is a great way to boost it as well since they’re filled with antioxidants too).
Worst Foods for Weight Loss
When I first saw this post by Skinny Mom, I wasn’t sure if I’d get any weight loss tips out of it. Yes I know I’m not suppose to eat and drink chips and soda, what else could they tell me that I don’t already know? Well apparently they had a few thing things I never thought of. Things like trail mix or rice cakes. Trail mix is high in calories and has a small serving size that no one is gonna stick to. And rice cakes? The no fat low calorie snack? Well that’s rated high on the glycemic index (The glycemic index tells you how high or low a certain food affects your blood sugar. So sugar is 100 and rice cakes.. 82. Not so great).
