Frequently asked questions
3. Make Sure Your Diet Consists of Unrefined Foods
Cut out simple carbs, sugars, and saturated fats. Instead eat complex carbs, fruits, and veggies.
4. Eat Light at Night, Especially Late at Night
Stay away from simple carbs at night because they will get stored as fat since you're not doing anything. Instead, eat vegetables as a snack.
5. Drink LOTS of Water
Cold, warm, room temperature - it doesn't matter as long as you keep your body hydrated. Try drinking water 30 minutes before a meal and you will eat less since you've already filled up on water.
6. Change is GOOD
Have a variety of exercises to do. Don't keep working the same muscles all the time. Change it up.
7. Don't Stuff Yourself or Starve Yourself
Eat enough calories. Eating too few calories makes your body hold on to fat. You need enough fuel so don't restrict it too much.
8. Eat an Apple
Apples are known to boost brown fat, which is important for weight loss. Don't worry - it's not the flab you carry around - that's white fat.
9. WORKOUT
Exercising helps you burn calories and shed fat, helping in the circulation of your blood producing healthy weight loss.
10. Turn down Your Thermostat or Go out in the Cold for a Few Minutes
Cold weather makes the body burn more calories. This is why you see people jogging outside in the dead of winter. The more the body shivers, the more calories are burned. Cold also converts white fat to brown fat.
11. SLEEP
Even in your sleep, you are burning calories and getting enough sleep is important for controlling hunger hormones and giving you the energy to workout.
I hope this helps in your journey during the cold months that are coming our way.
