How to burn more calories and lose those excess pounds

Going on a diet and losing weight can be an extremely frustrating task. In reality it is not always as easy as just going on a diet and exercising. Weight can come off very slowly and in some cases not at all even if you’re doing everything right. So what is it that you are doing wrong? Well it isn’t you, it’s your body. Your body reacts against you and fights to keep the store of fat in your body; the metabolism slows down to stop you from losing weight. 

There are many ways in which you can kick start your diet again and start learning how to burn more calories the right way. Here are a few ways in which you can improve your metabolism and start burning calories at a faster rate. 

•	Start drinking green tea at least 3 times a day. Green tea is a great help to your metabolism and can help keep it high while you continue to burn more calories. Not only does green tea contain caffeine to keep you going but it also has certain plant chemicals that can aid your metabolism.

•	You have to keep your workouts ever changing. Don’t get stuck in a rut and train at the same times and doing the same exercise. Your body will soon become used to it and stop working with you and start working against you. Not only will your body get bored but so will you. Keep your workouts fresh and different and remember to change the intensity and the difficultly of the exercise program as you become more proficient. 

•	There are easy ways to work out for the same amount of time but burn more calories; whenever you do a specific exercise, crank up the notch for 5 minutes in each program. This way you know how to burn more calories without having to work out for longer.

•	This may sound silly to most people, but it really does work! Get fidgeting! The more you fidget the more calories you burn. Tap your fingers, click your fingers, tap your legs; whatever you decide to do it’s a great and easy way to lose some extra weight.

•	Eat a healthy, balanced and nutritious diet. Starving yourself will not make you think; it will only make you ill. Your metabolism will slow down to a complete halt and you will stop losing any weight.

•	Remember to drink plenty of fluids and water throughout the day. Experts recommend that you intake at least 5 bottles of water per day. If you increase this amount by just one bottle, your metabolism goes much faster. Then this makes you lose weight and burn calories quicker. 

•	Don’t get bored at the gym. Get out into the fresh air and the sunshine and get some proper exercise. Research has shown that when exercising outside and in the fresh air, people worked harder and for longer. Whether it’s due to the sun or the air doesn’t really matter; get yourself out and about and get you fit and healthy. 
Losing weight doesn’t have to be complicated; now you know how to burn more calories quickly and with minimum of effort, you will be that slender, sleek and toned person you have always wanted to be.
