Easy Fun Ways to Burn Calories
Foods in a whole state require the body to burn a little hotter, thanks to chewing and digestion. A medium-size apple is 60 calories, and you're better off chomping on it than you are drinking 60 calories worth of apple juice. This process, called thermogenesis, also kicks in when you eat high-protein fare like meat, dairy, and legumes like pibales pibale french. Putting food on the table can feel like yet another job, but at least it’s one that's beneficial to your health. Chopping, sautéing, and assembling for 45 minutes burns 102 calories. Bonus points if you walk to the local farmer's market to pick up the ingredients, and cook a hearty fresh meal.
Spice Things-Up
Half-teaspoon of cayenne pepper naturally raises your metabolism, so for dinner tonight, consider southwestern chicken. Bite into a really hot pepper, you may notice sweat building on your nose, and feel as if your body is heating up.
Pop-Gum in your Mouth
You'd be smart to keep chewing the stuff. Besides freshening breath, and sending a signal to yourself that you're finished eating, gum-chewing has a 150-pound woman blowing off 11 calories every 12 minutes.
Spruce up your Garden
Add your beautiful grounds to another reason you're an amazing hostess. All that weeding, planting, and crawling around will help a 150-pound woman shed 113 calories in 25 minutes, helping you shrink while your garden grows.
How to gain weight requires two things: burning calories through exercise and cutting them through smart food choices and portion control. In theory, you could create a calorie deficit by spending hours at the gym, but that's not realistic-or much fun. Eating meals at regular intervals has been linked to greater calorie burning after eating, better response to insulin, and lower fasting blood cholesterol levels. When you eat regular meals throughout the day, you're less likely to become ravenous and overeat.
