Sedentary people burn just about one-third less calories daily.

Little activities can add up over a period of time to a lot of calories.  The secret is to keep moving all through your day. Write the word ‘move’ on post-it notes and leave them in areas you’ll see them while you are being still. Then, seize each chance to get active – here are several thoughts for burning additional calories:

Stamp your feet
Swing your legs
Stand up and stretch
Swing your head from side to side
Switch positions
Wiggle and twitch
Walk back and forth
Use the restroom upstairs
Park in the farthest away space of the parking garage
Stand up while you’re on the telephone and step from side to side
Clench and release your muscles

2) Eat Little and Often

Evidence suggests that eating little meals every 2-4 hours will keep your metabolism burning quicker than larger, less regular meals. While you consume little amounts often your body is relentlessly working to digest and absorb food which requires energy. 

3) Consume Fat

If you desire to feel good and keep the fat off you will need to firstly consume it.  Fat not just tastes great our bodies require it to run efficiently.  By eating several servings of ‘healthy’ fats per day you are able to actually heighten your calorie burning potential.  Take a crack at including fats like Flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, avocados, salmon, albacore tuna, nuts and seeds into your diet daily.

4) Drink Cold Water

Studies show that your body could use up more calories trying to raise cold water to the temperature of your body than it does for hot drinks. And overall being well hydrated will help your body’s metabolic processes burn quicker.

5) Do exercises With Weights

Exercising with weights improves your metabolism in a couple of ways. By lifting weights you will develop muscle tissue, and muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it requires calories even while at rest. Therefore, it helps to increase fat-burning enzymes in your body.

6) Spice up

Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolism.  Only half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day is able to help boost metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in check. Can’t stand the contemplation of cinnamon in your daily mug of coffee? Spice it up with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.

7) Eat More Protein

Protein needs a more complicated chemical breakdown by your body’s systems in order to be processed and utilized as fuel. For instance, 100 calories of protein could take up to 30 calories to process.   Protein as well takes longer to process and helps to stabilize blood sugar for longer periods of time  and this will help you to not overindulge later on in the day.  Consume a portion of protein at each meal and as part of your snacks and you are able to increase the total amount of calories you burn per day.
