4 Ways to Fire up Your Calorie-burning Engines


Missing a meal doesn’t seem so bad. You don’t need those extra calories anyway, right?


Wrong. When you skip a meal, your body slows down your metabolism to hold on to your existing fuel supply.


Here are three better ways to burn blubber fat faster:


When you work out, speed up and slow down. You can interval train with any form of cardio, from the elliptical machine to cycling.


Perform a bodyweight routine 12 hours before or after your intense weight-training sessions. A handful of pushups and squats will send your fat burners into overdrive.


Nosh on more protein, one of the hottest-burning food sources out there. Your body uses twice as much energy to break down protein than it does to break down carbs. Translation: Eggs in the morning, string cheese for a snack, salmon for dinner. You’re good to go.

That speed up your metabolism stuff is crap. You might want to read about physics.

Gluttony makes us fat and gluttony is good.
