1. 

1. Eat five times per day. This doesn’t mean to eat five full plates in a day, NOT, this mean that you have to eat the 3 normal foods and the other two can be snacks. The foods can be like this, first breakfast, then lunch, in the afternoon snack, then dinner and one more evening snack. This is going to speed up your metabolism and prevent your body from going into starvation mode, which causes the body to store fat for future energy.

3. Interval train to save time and burn more fat. Don’t spend hours at the gym to get in shape, switch to interval training for better results and less time on your cardio machine. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, more calories are burned in short, high intensity exercises. Studies have shown that interval training can help “increase your metabolism, burn calories from fat and carbohydrates, and keep burning calories long after you finish exercising.” For instance, if you like to run for your cardio workout, try alternating jogging and sprinting in two-minute increments. You’ll be surprised at how fast the time goes by compared to your old, long and slow endurance routine.
4. Exercise as soon as you wake up. This mean that Before you go to the refrigerator to eat the breakfast, before that do like 5 minutes of workout in the morning. This is the perfect time to burn fat instead of carbohydrates because your body has been fasting throughout the night, creating a depletion of glycogen (stored carbohydrate) and lower blood sugar, And also if you do workouts in the morning, you not only burn fat during your workout but at an accelerated rate for hours after.
5. Choose wheat instead of white. It’s no secret that whole grain/wheat is healthier than white bread. But how can this help you lose weight? Whole grain and whole wheat carbs contain much more fiber than white carbs. This magical ingredient suppresses your appetite, increases your rate of digestion and improves intestinal health. So stop by your nearest Trader Joe’s, where everything from pasta to pizza dough can be found in whole wheat/grain.
6. Stretch every day. You are asking why dancers and avid yoga practitioners are so slim an plane? Here is the answer. Stretching helps elongate our muscles, so if you exercise, have in mind and be sure to stretch for at least half of the time of your workout.
7. “It takes fat to burn fat.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but actually “good fats” (monounsaturated fats), which are found in olive oil, avocados, nuts and omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, help control your insulin levels, slow down carbohydrates rate of entry into the blood stream and sends a signal to your brain to stop eating.
8. Eat Breakfast!!! A common misconception is to skip breakfast to cut daily calories. But actually, studies show that the people who eat breakfast weigh less than the other who skip. According to Meal Matter nutrition, “when you skip breakfast, your metabolic rate slows down and your blood sugar drops. As a result, you become hungry and have less energy. This sets you up to impulsively snack in the morning - often on high-fat sweets - or to eat extra servings or bigger portions at lunch or dinner.When you eat breakfast, your body feels nourished and satisfied, making you less likely to overeat the rest of the day.”
9. Eat these sweets, consume less sugar. With all the new caffeinated drink coming out each season, coffee is more like a liquid dessert than an energy booster. If you don’t like the plain coffee or green tea, you can choose Starbucks Skinny Latte, which contains only 90 calories, zero grams of fat and use sugar free syrup. For a cookie, you can choose South Beach Diet's cookies and meal bars. This also don't have grams of sugar and are low in calories.
10. Take home leftovers when dining out. It’s hard to decide to diet when there are so many delicious Valley eateries serving up mouth watering, and practically euphoric dishes. Don’t feel bad, just be sure to take at least 1/3 of it home for later.
