A healthy diet consists of balance, variety, and moderation!
- Balance: eating from all the food groups; meaning that you are eating whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy (or dairy substitutes), fats, and proteins everyday.
- Variety: eating the different types of foods within each food group, don’t only eat tomatoes as your vegetable source everyday for the rest of your life.
- Moderation: don’t consume excessive amounts of one food or food group.
Burn, baby, burn.
Your body is already a fat-burning machine. All you need to do is turn up that furnace so you’re torching even more fat. Here’s how.
DON’T STARVE.
Restricting food kills your metabolism.
TURN IN EARLY.
People who sleep less and are under more stress may have more visceral (abdominal) fat, which interferes with metabolism.
GO ORGANIC.
Pollutants from pesticides may hinder the energy-burning process.
STAND UP.
Breaking up long periods of downtime increases fat burning.
KEEP IT CHILLED.
Drinking six cups of cold water a day can raise your resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily. (That adds up!)
GET SPICY.
Capsaicin, a compound that is found in chili peppers, can fire up your metabolism.
SIP COFFEE OR TEA.
Caffeine can boost your metabolism.
FIGHT FAT WITH FIBRE.
It can increase fat burning by 30 percent. Aim for 25 grams of fibre a day.
EAT IRON-RICH FOODS.
Iron is essential for carrying the oxygen your muscles need to burn fat.I need to do more of this. I suck sometimes :(
