There are two quick and easy tips of things that you could do right now to drop another pound or two this month
If you spend a few hours of your day sitting down, you need to fidget.
A quick howto fidget for weight loss:
In the seated position, lift the heel of either your right or left foot, then move your heel up and down rapidly. Try it, it is addictive. There are also many other ways to fidget, so find your very own fidget and get fidgeting. Also stand up, walk around as regularly as possible, it is very unhealthy to sit very still for long amounts of time. No, typing does not count as exercise 🙂
Sleep an extra hour every day and ten minutes before going to bed, eat 200 grams of fat free yogurt. When your body experiences a dip in blood sugar, your metabolism slows down, by consuming 200g of fat free yogurt you will suppresses the release of calcitriol, a hormone that promotes fat storage and your metabolism will continue working for at least three hours into your sleep.
It is still true that you should not consume a large meal for at least three hours before going to bed, otherwise in three hours time, when your metabolism slows down, some of that meal will be stored as fat. What they did not tell you is that you have to take something very small, like a low GI cracker or 200g low fat yogurt, before going to bed, to keep your metabolism working and burning for as long as possible into your sleep.
Clinical studies has proven that people who sleep adequately consume at least 300 fewer calories the next day, so also add that extra hour of sleep.
