5 Tips to Burn Calories and Lose Weight Beyond Exercise

MỸ LY (THEO STEP TO HEALTH) |

In addition to exercise, some simple tips can help burn more calories, supporting the weight loss process.

Get enough sleep

To boost metabolism, burn calories and lose weight effectively, getting enough sleep is essential.

If you don't get enough sleep, your nervous system will change and you will feel hungrier due to lack of energy. On the other hand, if you sleep too much, your metabolism will slow down, burning fewer calories and you will feel tired easily.

Eat several small meals a day

Eating several small meals a day is a good tip for those who want to increase their calorie burn or are prone to hunger while dieting. It is important to note that the small meals should satisfy your hunger but not make you too full.

Eat lots of vegetables

Vegetables have a unique characteristic that the body needs to use more calories to digest them than the actual calories contained in the vegetables. Including vegetables in meals will help the body burn more calories and support weight loss.

Use coconut oil instead of unhealthy fats

Virgin coconut oil is one of the healthy fats that helps the body increase its ability to burn more calories, even promoting the process of eliminating fat around the waist. If you want a slim waist and lose weight effectively, you should consider replacing the unhealthy fats you are using with coconut oil.

Cooking with cayenne pepper

Adding cayenne pepper to your meals is a great way to burn more calories and fat. You can add cayenne pepper to soups, meat, fish, and many other foods. But be careful to add this food to your diet gradually to avoid stomach problems.

Don't restrict your body's calories.

Restricting calories isn’t necessarily the best way to burn calories. A low-calorie diet can actually get your body used to using less energy, which means it’s harder to lose weight and you’re more likely to binge on unhealthy foods after you’ve gone on a diet.
