How to Jumpstart Your Weight Loss Through Awareness

Everyone wants to lose weight quickly, but there is no magic pill that can make you thin in a month. However, there are several ways that you can jumpstart your weight loss by increasing your metabolism by tuning in with your awareness.

1.     Keep yourself hydrated:

This is the most basic and easiest way to jumpstart your weight loss. Drinking a lot of water and detoxifying herbal teas will help you flush all the harmful toxins from your body, boosting your metabolism by improving the efficiency of your thyroid functioning. Drink eight glasses of water daily at the very least to keep your body at its best. Drinking a lot of water and herbal teas, especially first thing in the morning and before meals, will also curb your hunger and prevent you from binge eating. Sometimes hunger is triggered by dehydration, tune in and ask your body if it needs hydration and not food.

2.     Get enough sleep:

Your diet, your workout, and all the water that you consume will go to waste if you fail to get enough quality sleep. Good sleep helps to keep your hormones and your mood balanced. If your hormones and your mood are optimized, then your body will function more efficiently and will keep all your cravings at bay. Make sure to give yourself the gift of a peaceful night of at least eight hours. Remember to turn off your blue light devices at least an hour before bed, and to create a regular bedtime routine to signal your brain to start winding down.

3.     Hot lemon water:

Drinking hot lemon water early in the morning before breakfast helps fire up your metabolism and clean out your liver and kidneys. Such an easy and simple detoxifier!

4.     Health shots:

Another way you can fire up your metabolism is by having a healthy shot of lemon, honey, ginger, and turmeric first thing in the morning. It might taste a little strong, but it has a dramatic impact on your metabolism.

5.     Pre-workout hydration:

Drinking loads of water or green tea before a workout is an easy and efficient way to burn twice the amount of calories that you usually do. If opting for a caffeine boost, stick with real green tea, not the extract. The extract can actually be a hard hit to your liver. Again, your body will shed weight more easily if it feels supported by the proper amount of hydration and nutrition.

6.     Cardio:

Exercises that keep your heartbeat up are another way to burn a lot more calories and jumpstart your weight loss. You can add exercises like planks, burpees, and jumping jacks to get your heart pumping. Cardio doesn’t have to be intense to be effective. A good brisk walk or a warm yoga session can be rejuvenating and heart-healthy without being too stressful.

7.    Spice is the key:

Spicy food burns more calories during digestion because it can fire up your metabolism. Add a few more spicy foods, like hot peppers, to your diet. You can add jalapeno in almost any dish you like, even in your eggs. Spices also add a ton of flavor with little to no calories.

8. Drink black coffee once a day:

Drinking pure black coffee at least once a day will boost the rate at which your body burns calories also.

Losing weight is not meant to be an expeditious activity; your body does not function that way. These tips should be practiced along with a healthy diet and exercise for best results, but they may be able to give your body that little extra boost it needs to power into weight loss mode.
