1. Start Exercising first thing in the morning.

As soon as you wake up in the morning workout for at least 30min to an hour.
Studies show that working out in the morning has been shown to burn up to 3x as
more fat as opposed to working out at any other time during the day. Here’s Why:

During the day your body’s main source of energy is the carbohydrates that you
get from eating your meals. As you sleep at night for 6+ hours your body uses
up all those carbohydrates as energy for various bodily functions that go on
even while you sleep. When you wake up in the morning your body doesn’t have
any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look to burn body fat instead
for energy.

For you to take advantage of this morning fat burning opportunity you have to
exercise first thing in the morning. Don’t eat breakfast because if you do
you’ll just give your body some carbohydrates as a source of energy instead of
the body fat that you want to burn for energy.

Another great thing about working out first thing in the morning is that your
metabolism gets revved up after your morning workout. Morning workouts keep
your metabolism elevated throughout the day. An elevated metabolism throughout
the day only means that you’ll burn more calories and lose more weight. If you
workout at night you may still burn fat while you workout but as soon as you go
to sleep your metabolism will slow down and you’ll miss out on all the extra
fat that you can burn during the day if you had exercised in the morning. When
you sleep your metabolic rate is always at its slowest.

Other reasons why its good to exercise first thing in the morning is that you
get the workout out of the way, and working out in the morning will also reduce
your level of stress throughout the day.

Advanced Tip: Want to burn even more fat? Add another workout to your daily
routine 4-6 hours after your morning workout. Keep your already high metabolism
higher by adding a 2nd workout during the day. If you're seriously thinking
about adding a 2nd workout to your daily routine then try to do your cardio
workouts in the morning. Mostly fat calories are burned doing cardio at a
moderate intensities. Make your 2nd workout of the day a workout with weights.
Mostly carbohydrate is burned doing weight-training workouts. The muscle that
you build from weight training will also help you burn fat. 1lb of Muscle burns
50 calories a day or 1lb of fat every 70 days. Not only will you be burning
more calories, you’ll look better – whatever your weight is.

2. Eat Breakfast

Another way to keep your metabolism revved up all day long is to eat breakfast.
After you workout in the morning as discussed earlier, just have breakfast and
you’ll give your body the perfect 1-2 combination to jump start your metabolism.

Eating breakfast in the morning is what gets your metabolism started. Don’t
skip breakfast and wait until mid-morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism
will run slower causing you not burn any extra fat.

Think about this way-Your metabolism is a fireplace that’ll burn fat all day
long for you if you operate it correctly. When you eat breakfast you are
basically throwing a log onto that fireplace to get it started burning fat.

Eating breakfast will help stop those cravings you may have later on in the day
and along with working out in the morning, eating breakfast will also keep you
energized throughout the day and lower stress levels.

Advanced Tip: Instead of eating only 2 more meals during the day like lunch &
dinner, try to eat 4-5 more small mini-meals spaced 2-3 hours apart during the
day. Remember the fireplace? By eating these mini-meals you'll be throwing just
the right amount of "wood" on the fireplace to keep your metabolism burning
calories throughout the day. Don't shut down your metabolism by eating big
lunches or dinners, keep that metabolism of yours burning fat all day long.
