Lose More Weight Fast

Got Milk?

If you are trying to lose weight, adding some dairy to your diet could help you get slimmer, faster.

Studies have shown that people who eat three to four servings of dairy a day lose 70% more fat than people who avoid dairy. Yogurt, cheese and milk are high in quality protein and the healthy fat that breaks down body fat and gives your metabolism a boost, enhancing it’s calorie burning power.

What’s more, dairy products are high in calcium. Researchers have found that diets high in calcium help people maintain a healthy weight. Don’t skip the yogurt and head for the supplements, though. The natural calcium found in foods is far more effective than calcium supplements for weight maintenance.

Boost Your Metabolism to Speed Weight Loss

Want to give your metabolism a boost? Have a snack.

Researchers at Georgia State University have found that eating three small snacks during the day keeps your metabolism running in high gear, maximizing your fat burning potential.

How does it work?

Waiting too long between meals actually slows your metabolism down as your body tries to conserve calories, so eating more often keeps your metabolism humming along at top speed. Snacking also helps you to eat less at each meal, resulting in fewer calories consumed and less body fat.

What kinds of snacks are best?

Look for high protein snacks like part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks and hard boiled eggs. Your body works 25% harder to digest protein than carbs or fat, which also helps to keep you lean. Spicy foods are good, too. Studies have shown that eating spicy foods can give your metabolism an extra boost of energy for at least 30 minutes. So go ahead, have a snack and don’t forget the hot sauce!
