Three Simple Weight Loss Tips

Everyone knows exercise and a good diet can go a long way in reducing weight. However you can supplement these simple weight loss ideas in your daily routine to increase your metabolism which in turn will help burn more fat.

Drink water first thing in the morning: Research has shown that drinking 19 ounces (1/2 litre) of water as soon as you wake up increases your metabolism.

Get checked for Hypothyroidism: It has been appreciated for a very long time that there is a complex relationship between thyroid disease, body weight and metabolism. Low levels of thyroid hormone levels are associated with low BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate). A decrease in thyroid function results in a decrease in the consumption of energy and as a result more energy is available to be stored. Weight gain is, therefore, typical of an underactive thyroid.

Drink green Tea: The caffeine in green tea frees fatty acids so that you can burn fat easily. Exercise is more effective after 15 minutes of drinking green tea.

Bonus Tip - Chew Gum: Yes chewing sugar-free gum all day increases your metabolic rate by 20 percent, which could burn off 5 KG a year.
