1. Start Exercising first thing in the morning.
As soon as you wake up in the morning workout for at least
30min to an hour. Studies show that working out in the morning has been shown
to burn up to 3x as more fat as opposed to working out at any other time during
the day. Here’s why:
During the day your body’s main source of energy is the
carbohydrates that you get from eating your meals. As you sleep at night for 6+
hours your body uses up all those carbohydrates as energy for various bodily
functions that go on even while you sleep. When you wake up in the morning your
body doesn’t have any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look to burn
body fat instead for energy.
For you to take advantage of this morning fat burning
opportunity you have to exercise first thing in the morning. Don’t eat breakfast
because if you do you’ll just give your body some carbohydrates as a source of
energy instead of the body fat that you want to burn for energy.
Another great thing about working out first thing in the
morning is that your metabolism gets revved up after your morning workout.
Morning workouts keep your metabolism elevated throughout the day. An elevated
metabolism throughout the day only means that you’ll burn more calories and
lose more weight. If you workout at night you may still burn fat while you
workout but as soon as you go to sleep your metabolism will slow down and
you’ll miss out on all the extra fat that you can burn during the day if you
had exercised in the morning. When you sleep your metabolic rate is always at
its slowest.
Other reasons why it’s good to exercise first thing in the
morning is that you get the workout out of the way, and working out in the
morning will also reduce your level of stress throughout the day.
Advanced Tip: Want to burn even fatter? Add another workout
to your daily routine 4-6 hours after your morning workout. Keep your already
high metabolism higher by adding a 2nd workout during the day. If you're
seriously thinking about adding a 2nd workout to your daily routine then tries
to do your cardio workouts in the morning. Mostly fat calories are burned doing
cardio at moderate intensities. Make your 2nd workout of the day a workout with
weights. Mostly carbohydrate is burned doing weight-training workouts. The
muscle that you build from weight training will also help you burn fat. 1lb of
Muscle burns 50 calories a day or 1lb of fat every 70 days. Not only will you
be burning more calories, you’ll look better – whatever your weight is.
2. Eat Breakfast
Another way to keep your metabolism revved up all day long
is to eat breakfast. After you workout in the morning as discussed earlier,
just have breakfast and you’ll give your body the perfect 1-2 combination to
jump start your metabolism.
Eating breakfast in the morning is what gets your metabolism
started. Don’t skip breakfast and wait until mid-morning or afternoon to eat,
your metabolism will run slower causing you not burn any extra fat.
Think about this way-Your metabolism is a fireplace that’ll
burn fat all day long for you if you operate it correctly. When you eat
breakfast you are basically throwing a log onto that fireplace to get it
started burning fat.
Eating breakfast will help stop those cravings you may have
later on in the day and along with working out in the morning, eating breakfast
will also keep you energized throughout the day and lower stress levels.
Advanced Tip: Instead of eating only 2 more meals during the
day like lunch & dinner, try to eat 4-5 more small mini-meals spaced 2-3
hours apart during the day. Remember the fireplace? By eating these mini-meals
you'll be throwing just the right amount of "wood" on the fireplace
to keep your metabolism burning calories throughout the day. Don't shut down
your metabolism by eating big lunches or dinners, keeps that metabolism of
yours burning fat all day long.
