To accelerate your metabolism, try this 12-step guide to burn fat.

Step 1

Do not skip breakfast. Activate your metabolism early in the morning by eating good meal.

Step 2

Use weights when walking. If you use 2 small weights of 1 pound each, while exercising your biceps during the walk, you will burn 3 extra calories each minute.

Step 3

Get a dog. It is cheaper than getting a personal trainer. When your little friend wants to take a walk, you won’t have any excuses. A quick 15-minute walk burns 60 calories.

Step 4

Try to eat more often. Eat smaller portions of food several times a day, without going over the limit of the daily calories you have to ingest. This will help you not to gain any weight and it will allow you to keep a permanent level of energy throughout the entire day.

Step 5

Try to reduce the ingestion of fats. You spend more calories to burn carbohydrates than fats.

Step 6

Speak while standing. If you are standing up when you speak on the phone, you will spend a few calories by minute.
