Drink More Water to Rev Up Your Metabolism

With the enormous change of daily schedules that accompanied the pandemic, do not become overly stressed about the numbers you are seeing on the scale. A common mistake that people make once they decide to lose weight is engaging in tons of cardio exercise. If you fail to incorporate resistance training along with better eating behaviors, there is a good chance your body composition will leave you looking skinny fat. Conversely, you could be at a heavier weight with resistance training due to adding muscle mass. For most of us, the exact opposite is true and the stress of sheltering in place has taken its toll. Fad diets that claim fast results can cause a loss of muscle mass and water weight that does not improve your overall health or appearance.

Tips for Burning Stubborn Fat Deposits

During a pandemic, there are numerous emotional issues that could have led to unwanted weight gain. Whether you’re in the Quarantine 5, Quarantine 10, or Quarantine 15 club, try the proven tips listed below for burning unwanted fat deposits, such as:

• Drink More Water - As soon as you wake up, start your day with a glass of lemon water and honey to rejuvenate your body, cleanse some of the toxins, and rev up your metabolism. It is a nourishing alkaline superstar and your body will look forward to early morning hydration.
• Fast Between Meals - According to researchers, fasting between 10 to 16 hours can cause the body to release ketones into the bloodstream, which causes the body to convert fat stores into energy. This should encourage fat loss particularly in more difficult areas of the body.
• Think Before You Eat It - If two healthy people eat the identical meal at different times of day, experts say the one who ate a later meal will store more fat. Blood glucose levels tend to stay high for one to two hours after a morning meal compared to three or four hours after late-night dining.
• Front Load Your Meals - Eat a healthy breakfast, a moderate lunch, and a light dinner to front load your intake of calories. Unfortunately, many people skimp on breakfast, end up snacking all day, overeat at diner, and still feel hunger at bedtime.
• Keep a Positive Mindset - To get your mindset ready to shed pandemic weight gain, observe which habits are detrimental to losing newly acquired fat deposits. Restoring the same positive behaviors, you followed before the lockdown, will likely put you on track for losing weight and keeping it off.

When the lockdown orders came down the pike after the coronavirus hit in our country, people quickly became bored with the surplus of idle time on their hands. Nonetheless, now is the time to stop wandering into the kitchen and put the healthy rules back in place.
