Today's 10 Tips for Losing That Weight

Try to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces every day.

1. Drink one glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full.
2. Drink ice cold water. Your body will burn calories just getting the water to a normal temperature to digest. Also it is great for your complexion.
3. Drink 3 cups of green tea daily. It will help boost your metabolism, plus its anti-oxidants make your skin look great.
4. Take vitamins daily. Do not take vitamins on an empty stomach, otherwise they have nothing to catalyze with.
5. Eat ice or gum when hungry. This will make your body think it had food without the calories.

I think I'm going to faint.

6. Do aerobics until you want to faint.
7. Eat spicy foods. They raise your metabolism.
8. Take cold showers because your body will burn calories to heat you back up.
9. DON’T take laxatives. They don’t help you to lose weight.
10. DON’T use diuretics. They only dehydrate you.

Keep fightin' the good fight!

No Brainers That Will Improve your Health

Mini-meals high in protein, complex carbs & fiber.

If you find yourself looking for specific foods that promote energy throughout the day, look no further.  What you eat and how frequently you eat will help increase your energy and stamina.  For example, noshing on a doughnut with your morning cup of Joe may initially give you a boost, but since there's no complex carbs, fiber or protein that boost won't last.  Your glucose level and energy will also crash in no time.  

To prevent this energy (and insulin) roller-coaster ride, try eating small meals of complex carbohydrates, protein and fiber every four hours or so.  Some great choices for mini-meals include oatmeal with skim milk and fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruit & yogurt; even veggies and hummus.  Also, make sure you're drinking enough water to keep your energy level up as well, and remember to replace any water lost through perspiration.  The more you lose to sweat, the less efficient your body becomes, and that can have a negative effect all the way around.
Make better choices and reap the rewards!
