5 Ways To Burn Calories Better

EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST


Eating breakfast is the best way to kick-start your metabolism of a day. Most of us would grab a bagel on the go but the best is to have a proper breakfast. The best breakfast is a mix of protein, carbohydrates and good fats with a ratio of 60:30:10. For example,

i) boiled eggs + wholemeal toast + peanut butter

ii) tofu + minced meat + noodle

LISTEN TO HUNGER SIGNS


The rule is simple:
If your stomach is growling for food, then feed it but feed it with healthy food.
Same as the theory, STOP eating when you are 80% full.
If you overeat, your body stores the excess calories as fat. If you leave your stomach 80% full, your body will burn the extra 20% off from your body fat. As an accumulation, you will lose weight in a long run.

WATER, WATER, WATER


Water helps the liver to flushes out toxins and burn the fat to energy. Drinks plenty of water so to make your urine pale yellow, it is as good as eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try to minimize sugary drinks, tea, coffee and fruit juice as dieticians say it will also dehydrate you. Make sure that what you drink is low in sugar, the best is plain water!

PROBIOTICS


Good bacteria available in yogurt and probiotic supplements can help to improve digestion and metabolism. It can also helps in losing weight because the food is digested more efficiently by the good bacteria. Please follow the instructions on the dosage on the probiotic supplements, some people might get diarrhea if over dosage intake.

HOT & SPICY


Capsaicin found in chili peppers may increase metabolic rate for 30 minutes by raising the body’s temperature. Hence, do add some cayenne, paprika or chili to your meal regularly.

Tummy Trimmer or Waist Trimmer Belt

Do tummy trimmer or waist trimmer belts work?

I did have the same doubt as you do, but it gave me hope when my confinement lady told me that it helps many new mommies back to their pre-pregnancy "SHAPE". The "doubt" is because people believe that tummy trimmer (tummy trimmer and waist trimmer belts are the same, so I just name it tummy trimmer) can help to lose weight. No, no, no... it does not help to shed the fat from your body but it does a wonderful job to "RESHAPE" your figure to make you looks curvy and flatten up your tummy.

A lot of moms asked me the same question,
"How could you have such a flat tummy?"
"Didn't you deliver your babies via Cesarean Section?"
"Women went through C-Section would have a bulging midsections discreetly..."
"What kind of exercise you do?"

Some mommies though they have returned to their pre-pregnancy weight but the figures are gone, bulging tummy is the disturbing scene. They think they would never return to their pre-pregnancy figure, unless they take strenuous exercise and regular yoga sessions. No, it is not the case. I was also a busy working mom who couldn't afford to spare 10 minutes for any exercise because I had no maid, no helper and required to breast feed the new borns. What I did and still doing it when I need a quick fix to fit in my tomorrow working dress. Just wrap a tummy trimmer on before I go to sleep. When I wake up, "Wholla, I am so confident and I can slip in my figure hugging dress to work!"

Why am I so confident in tummy trimmer because my confinement lady has helped so many mommies return to their pre-pregnancy figures, some within one month! And also, there was once a Hong Kong famous actor needed to fit in a female role, he wore the tummy trimmer 24 hours a day for 30 days to shrink down his 33 inches waist to 26 inches!

Ladies, do not dream for 24 inches waist anymore, put into action and get one tummy trimmer or waist trimmer belt now! Wear it while you are sleeping, or you can wear a waist cincher during daytime.

Green tea and weight loss are no-nonsense

Let's do a simple math:

1 pound (0.45 Kilograms) of FAT = ~3,500 calories

In order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat within a week, one has to reduce an intake of 3,500 calories for one week.  Reducing the calories intake can be carried out by changing the diet, and/or exercise.  In this case, one has to reduce 500 calories per day in average.

Research by Japanese and other researchers suggest that if the average person were to drink five cups of green tea a day, they would burn an extra 70 to 80 extra calories through an effect known as thermogenesis, the process of heat production through metabolic stimulation.  Well-controlled research has also proven that a compound in green tea called epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG) gives a small but significant increase in 24 hour metabolic rate. It would take 3-4 strong cups of green tea to get the necessary amount, 270-300 mg of EGCG, or it can also be obtained from green tea extract supplements.

All right, here comes another math:
If one maintains the same lifestyle and food intake over a year, but adding five cups of green tea to their diet per day.

One can lose
1 pound in the course of 43 days, or
8 pounds in one year.

Clearly, drinking green tea alone is not going to be satisfactory for significant weight loss. However, green tea is still useful as a weight loss aid with its other goodness, for example, it is a good anti-oxidant helps to take years off from your face and body.

Considering this, by just drinking green tea, you can burn extra 80 calories per day can be just what a person needs to tip the scale from a calorie surplus to a calorie reduction, the end result  can be better off when following a balanced nutrition and exercise regime.

Try green tea today, or green tea powder for busy people who do not have the time to brew a nice cup of tea. Just mix 1-2 teaspoons of green tea powder into hot or cold water, drink it and you also enjoy the fibre and wholesome of the green tea entirely.
