We’ve been talking about so many tips to burn
100 calories a day. Try and incorporate some of these options into your day,
and you can easily mix them up!
If you can manage to burn an extra 100 calories
a day without eating into any of you spare time, then it’s surely a huge
win-win situation and even though 100 calories might not sound significant, the
daily bits and pieces all add up to massive exponential gain! It adds up to burning
an extra 700 calories per week. In about 4 to 6 weeks of incorporating some of these simple techniques,
you will burn 3,500 calories that equals to half a kilogram of fat loss.
Not bad at all!
#1) Do things by hand:
Adding elbow grease to household chores can be therapeutic and effective as a calorie burning activity. Usually these chores aren’t seen as exciting but we have a choice to change our perspective and use them as moments to be present and mindful as well as add some peppy music to them… Mow the lawn, dust, clean and vacuum your house, wash your car, wash the dishes, clean up the kitchen, tackle your laundry and hang out the washing. It is really nice when all of these things are done for us, but do consider doing them yourself as they take considerable energy to complete. For example cleaning and washing your car with the music system on high will burn about 210 calories per hour or more depending on your moves!

#2) Add some tea or coffee to
your day but don’t overdo it:
Studies have shown drinking good quality tea or coffee can increase metabolic activity by as much as 10 percent. Remember not to add sugar calories to this. This seems to work particularly well just before meals. Besides the zing, more calories are burnt. Want to amp it up still more like me? Go for a delicious fat-blasting, circulation-boosting, water retention draining Thermo Tea!

#3) Work on building muscle:
Research shows that having more lean muscle will burn more calories. That’s why we never recommend looking at the number on the scale but getting friendly with your body composition. How much? For every kilogram of lean muscle you will burn approximately an extra 30 calories per day at rest.

#4) Skip the unhealthy snacks:
Most work places have snack size candy or chocolate pick-me-ups in a place that is easily accessible. Most are about 100 calories but full of fats and sugars and stuff our bodies don’t really want. Avoid them, you don’t need them! When hungry, snack on healthier options that you can carry from home or keep a supply of good healthy protein bars or roasted soy nuts within easy reach.

#5) Don’t peel if you can
afford to:
Go organic where possible. Don’t peel you fruit and veggies, the skin is full of fiber and other good stuff!

#6) Drink cool water:
Your body has a temperature averaging 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). When you drink a glass of cool to cold water your body has to work to bring it up to the same temperature as your insides. It burns approximately 30 calories for warming up every litre of water. Drinking 2 litres of water (normally a minimum for adults), you will burn an extra 60 calories per day.

#7) Chew gum:
While you are chewing sugarless gum you won’t be grazing on food out of boredom…. It all adds up.

#8) Be active at social
events:
When at a party or social gathering choose to stand or walk the room, smile and talk to as many people as you can. You will be engaging your abdominal muscles and glutes, burning extra calories and making some new connections!

More than anything, get mindful about eating, about your hunger, about
satiety, about wellness. Once you make the decision, it all falls into place!
