Move More

Inactive people burn about one in three fewer calories per day. By simply taking each opportunity to move can make quite a dramatic difference to the amount of calories you burn in a single day. Small movements will add up over time to tons of calories. The secret's to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word 'move' on post-it notes and put them in places you will see them when you are sitting still. Then, take every chance to move – here are some ideas for burning extra calories:

• Tap your feet
• Swing your legs
• Stand up and stretch
• Move your head from side to side
• Change position
• Squirm and friggle
• Pace up and down
• Use the restroom upstairs
• Park in the farthest corner of the parking lot
• Stand up when you're on the telephone and step from side to side
• Clench and release your muscles

Eat Tiny and Often

Evidence implies that eating small meals each 2-4 hours will keep your constitution burning quicker than larger, less frequent meals. When you eat tiny amounts often your body is consistently working to digest and absorb food which requires energy.

Eat Fat

If you want feel good and keep the fat off you want to first put it in. Fat not only tastes good our bodies need it to work efficiently. By consuming one or two portions of 'healthy' fats each day you may essentially increase your calorie burning potential. Try incorporating fats like Flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, avocados, salmon, albacore tuna, seeds and nuts into your diet daily.

Drink Cold Water

Proof shows that your body might expend more calories attempting to raise cold water to the temperature of your body then hot beverages. And overall being well hydrated will help your body's metabolic processes burn quicker.

Exercise with Weights

Drilling with weights boosts your metabolism in a number of ways. By lifting weights you will create muscle tissue. And muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it needs calories even when at rest and so it helps to increase fat-burning enzymes in your body.

Spice Up

Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolic rate. Just half a small spoon of cinnamon per day can help increase metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in control. Can't stand the concept of cinnamon in your morning cup of coffee? Spice up with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.

Eat More Protein

Protein needs a more complicated chemical breakdown by your body in order to be digested and used as fuel. For example, 100 calories of protein may take up to 30 calories to process. Protein also takes longer to digest so helping to stabilise blood sugar for longer periods and this will help you to not overeat later on in the day. Eat a portion of protein at each meal and as part of your snacks and you will increase the total number of calories you burn each day.
