You are worried and desperate because your once-stop-and-stare body is changing into pear shaped body slowly. In other words, you are getting fatter and fatter.

Hearing people call you “fat mom” or “fat woman” does hurt a lot, right? Perhaps you would rather let people call you “overweight mom” than “fat mom”. No matter which word people use, you can’t change the fact that you are fat, obese or overweight.

I am sure you ask yourself the same questions that millions of overweight women in the world do. “Why is it that I seem to get fat as I become older ?”, “Is it because I can’t get enough exercise?”, or “Is it because it’s in my genes?”

What many women don’t seem to ask is, “Is it something to do with the lifestyle I adopt as I get older?”

Think of this. Did women suffer from obesity a couple of thousand years ago when processed foods and junk foods were not around ? No, right?

Obesity seems to have become an epidemic only after people started stuffing themselves with junk foods. Junk foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, day in and day out.

No matter how much fat your body has stored, you can get rid of all your excess fat – or at least most of it – if only your body is given a chance to help itself.

But how? Well, help your body burn fat by eating more! Eat More Meals to Burn Fat and Lose Weight Fast.

I mean eating more meals, preferably 5-6 small meals a day. Of course, you must eat small healthy meals each day.

You probably find it hard to believe that eating more than 3 meals per day could be the solution to speeding up weight loss, right?

The reason is that eating several small healthy meals daily increases your metabolism. By boosting your metabolism your body will burn calories and fat off at a much more consistent and quicker time frame. The faster you burn off calories, the more weight or fat you can shed off even if you eat the same amount of food.

If you skip meals, you will slow down your metabolism. By slowing down your metabolism, you are causing your metabolism to go into survival mode. When this happens, your metabolism will begin to store calories instead of burning them off!

For fast weight loss, you have to increase your metabolism.

In addition to boosting your metabolism, you must also incorporate all of the basic principles here: drinking plenty of water, getting 7-9 hours of sleep every night, cardio and weight training exercising, and proper nutrition.

Speed Up Metabolism For Fast & Effective Weight Loss

If you are a working mom who is in your forties and has been trying to lose weight, but to no avail, then you need to really spend some time figuring out what metabolism is, what leads to decreases in the metabolism rate and why speeding up your metabolism helps with fast weight loss from your waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks more effectively.

What is metabolism? Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. The faster you burn off calories, the more weight or fat you can shed off even if you eat the same amount of food.

What is metabolic rate? The speed at which your body burns calories is called the metabolic rate. This rate can differ significantly from person to person. For example you and your friend can have the same activity level and diet but still gain or lose weight at different rates. The reason is simple differences in metabolism.

Your metabolism rate decreases when you get older. At mid thirties, metabolism slows by 3 to 5 % every 10 years, so by age 55, you need 150 fewer calories a day than you did in your mid thirties. This is why as working moms get older they tend to gain weight and find it extremely hard to get rid of excess fat or weight from their waistline and other areas.

Other factors such as diabetes, poor health, lack of physical activity or an under active thyroid could lead to a significant decrease in metabolism and increase in weight. People with conditions like these find that weight loss programs don’t work and no matter what they try they just can’t lose weight.

Okay, now you know the causes of decreases in metabolism, what do you need to do to lose inches and pounds effectively? Let me tell you that you just need to speed up your metabolism to accelerate your weight loss. Yes, boost your metabolism.

Here are the steps to speed up your metabolism for fast weight loss:

1. Drink Water. What a boring type of “drink 8 glasses of water” advice! But it works. You must drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to maintain an optimal metabolism rate.

Water can help clean your digestive system and eliminate accumulated toxins or excess harmful substances from your body that add to your weight.

You can also drink cold water. It has been proven that cold water can boost your metabolism temporarily anywhere from 8-30%. That’s huge!

2. Eat 5-6 Smaller Meals. Eating smaller meals frequently prevents hunger pangs, and keeps your energy levels consistent which in turn will increase and speed up your metabolism.

This is what you can do to keep yourself satisfied throughout the day — eat three healthy nutritious meals and eat healthy nutritious snacks in between those meals.

3. Do Exercise. Do aerobic exercise such as walking, biking or using a stair-climbing machine for at least 30 minutes. These will burn fat from all over your body.

To get the greatest benefits from cardiovascular exercise, you need to do it for at least 30 minutes. Of course, the more you exercise the quicker you will burn the fat, but aim for two or three sessions a week to start with.

4. Get 7-8 Hours’ Sleep. Sleep deprivation can drain your energy and make it nearly impossible to lose weight. Not getting between 7-8 hours of sleep per night may be jeopardizing your own weight loss efforts.

It takes time and efforts for fast and effective weight loss. But if you have the determination and persistence, you will get back your stop-and-stare body very soon.

Variety is the spice of life; similarly, your workout needs a change every so often, not just to keep your mind, but also your body from getting bored.

Working out on a mini trampoline is very different from a traditional workout – and it’s also loads of fun!

Just trying to master the trampoline will get you to burn more calories to lose weight then you would have on solid ground.

According to the studies conducted by NASA, bouncing on trampolines, also known as rebound exercise, is 68% more effective than jogging.

Jumping on the mini exercise trampoline also strengthens the heart the same way other cardio exercises like jogging and jumping rope do minus the impact on your joints when your feet hit the ground. This protects your joints, especially your knees even when you increase the intensity of your workout.

Other benefits associated with exercising on a trampoline include improved posture and stamina, better blood circulation and coordination, a stronger core, and improved muscle tone, especially in the lower body.

Instead of watching TV or turning up your favorite music sitting on the couch, why not start jumping on a mini exercise trampoline for 10 to 15 minutes.

You know, 15 minutes’ trampolining is equal to 30 minutes’ jogging!

If you have been drinking Coca-Cola’s Enviga green tea to help you burn more calories for fast weight loss you’d better stop wasting your money.

Coca-Cola has been ordered to stop claiming its Enviga green tea can result in weight loss by helping burn more calories.

To be exact, drinking three cans of Enviga green tea daily would increase calories burned.

According to a study done on Enviga green tea, participants did experience some additional calorie burning, but they did not experience weight loss.

Enviga Green Tea

In future, any marketing made for Enviga green tea must contain a clear disclosure that the product does not produce weight loss without diet and exercise.
