6 Strategies For Maximizing Caloric Burn


by Katherine Crawford


No matter what anybody says, you have to be in a negative caloric balance in order to lose weight. There is no way around this simple truth. As a result, anything you can do to increase the amount of calories you burn will help out tremendously.

So, here is how to burn more calories to lose weight faster:

1. Move some weight: Running on a treadmill all day will do little to increase the baseline amount of calories your body burns on a regular basis. So make sure you have some type of resistance training incorporated into your routine.

2. Increase fidgeting: Although hard to believe, fidgeting adds up over the day and can really increase the caloric burn of your routine. In fact, people that can eat everything under the sun while not gaining weight, have been shown by research to have a high fidget rate.

3. Eat food that increases caloric burn: When you eat something, it causes a thermic effect which is calories burned from digestion. Now the best way to take advantage of this effect is to have a diet rich in protein and rich in huge amounts of vegetables.

4. Move after your meals: The last thing you want to do is sit down after eating a meal. You see, movement after a meal enhances the thermic effect of food. So make sure you try to incorporate some type of movement in between meals.

5. Try to exercise in the water: This will make sure you are burning the maximum amount of calories per unit of time. You see, water pulls heat away from your body very quickly. And more heat being pulled away translates into more calories burned.

6. Try to get in some work from the standing position: Not only is this great for your lower back, but it will also help you burn some more calories. You see, being seated for extended periods of time is horrible for your discs and reduces circulation.

Anything you can do to increase the amount of calories you burn is a great way to further accelerate weight loss. So make sure you take action here today, don't delay!
