Burning fat is one of the keys to losing weight more efficiently. Here is a list on simple life changes that can help you burn more fat.

1.) Eat Organic When Possible – Canadian researchers have found that non-organic produce tends to have many pesticides that can interfere with the energy-burning process, because pesticides can make it harder to lose weight.

 2.) Consume More Protein – The human body needs protein in order for it to be able to maintain lean muscle.

3.) Eat Breakfast – You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again – breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Eating breakfast can help boost up your metabolism. It has also been found that those who tend to skip this meal are 4.5 times more likely to be obese.

4.) Don’t go on a diet – It’s not about eating less to lose weight, it’s all about eating foods that are more nutrient filled to get rid of any of those empty calories, they also help you to stay full longer. By limiting the amount of food you take in, you can affect your metabolism in a bad way. Not having enough food throughout the day can cause your body to burn muscle tissues instead which will give visceral fat a greater advantage instead of helping you lose weight like you had intended.

5.) Stand Up – Sitting down for a long period of time (4 hours or more) can greatly affect your waistline. Sitting down for 4 hours or more can cause near failure of an enzyme that controls cholesterol metabolism and fat.  

6.) Go to Sleep Earlier – Those who sleep less tend to be more prone to stress and also tend to have more visceral fat.

7.) Eat Fibre – Research has shown that some fibers can help you to burn fat by up to 30 percent. Those who eat more fibre grains were the ones that were least likely to gain weight over time.

 These small tips can be implemented into any lifestyle. Just make minor changes to your routine to help you burn more fat.

Hi everyone! Tried out this recipe last night – it’s fantastic. Check it out, let me know what you think. 

• 1 lb. (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken (or turkey) breast, cut into thin strips
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 cups sliced vegetables (carrots, celery; tomato; sweet red, orange or green bell peppers)
• 1 large onion
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger (optional)
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 2 tsp. teriyaki sauce
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• Freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil in large pan or wok over medium-high heat; stir-fry chicken (or turkey) until the pink colour disappears. Add half the garlic and half the optional ginger root to the pan, along with black pepper as desired. Remove from pan, then add vegetables one at a time in order of hardness. Some may need longer cooking times for example, carrots, peppers, celery, then onions. Add tomatoes last, along with remaining garlic and ginger.

Return chicken or turkey to pan and toss with vegetables. Combine chicken stock, teriyaki sauce and cornstarch in bowl; mix and pour over stir-fry mixture.
Cook until heated through and sauce reaches desired thickness.
