Drink Green Tea - It Increases Your Metabolism

Drinking green tea is one of the easiest ways to rev up your metabolism. A study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that green tea-extract increases the metabolism by 4% over a 24 hour period.

Three to five cups a day can help you burn an extra 70 calories a day, which adds up to seven pounds a year, 35 pounds for five years and 70 pounds for 10 years.

Green tea has also been shown to inhibit fat absorption—the movement of glucose into fat cells, [support healthy] glucose levels after eating a meal, prevent insulin spikes which prevents fat storage, and reduce appetite.

Think three to five cups a day seems like a lot? Replace diet soda with my recipe for “green tea soda.” Spoon instant green tea into sparkling water like Perrier or club soda and you have a refreshing, bubbly drink. It’s great to get you through the 3:00pm slump, when you otherwise might reach for a soda or sugary snack. - Rebekah Baumgardner, BodyBuilding.Com

Successful Weight Loss is a Mind Game

Successful weight loss is a mind game…to reshape your body, first reshape your mind.

Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Hmm…what do I mean by that? Many things. Firstly, doing things that make you uncomfortable yields change. And guess what? The more you experience that discomfort, the more comfortable it will become. But unless you try you’ll never know, will you? You’ll never get to the other side. So until you decide to push yourself harder at the gym; try new foods; confront a family member or a co-worker about something that’s bothering you; learn how to face and manage your anxiety or depression; make conscious efforts to break bad habits…you will stay right where you are in this moment. Are you OK with that? Do you want to settle for good enough? Or continuously feel like you are just hanging on? I hope not. And  I believe it was Einstein who said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” Albert was a smart cookie. So change. evolve. get uncomfortable. You will be OK. Source
