1. Sleep more
Are less likely to reach full intensity if you want to crawl into a hole. Melanie McGrice, Dietitians Association of Australia, says the tired people are less likely to exercise.
"This makes it very easy to think of an excuse not to go to the gym." There is also a good physiological reason to get enough kip. "We know that lack of sleep reduces the production of leptin, a hormone that helps us know when to stop eating, and we know that increases the production of ghrelin, a hormone that increases appetite," warns McGrice.

2. Meditate
If you are stressed, it is possible fat loss more difficult. The cortisol stress hormone "activates neuropeptide Y brain chemical that increases food cravings, and high levels of cortisol makes us hold the abdominal fat," says O'Neil. "I've seen very good results of weight loss when people treat their stress.'s Like cortisol was hanging all fat and cortisol was lowered when the doors open and the fat flowed."
3. Eat more protein
This is where protein shakes come into their own. Of all the macronutrients, 'costs' of more calories to digest protein. In other words, a higher proportion of calories in a protein shake used up just to digest that a muesli bar.
"Thermogenesis is basically the production of body heat," explains McGrice. "Thermo refers to temperature, and the genesis of the production. So if you think of the body as a machine is working and active when it produces heat and burns kilojoules. When we exercise or digest our food body thermogenesis is committed. "
But beware 'thermogenic enhancers', often intended to stimulate fat loss. "The frequency promoted thermo bars and drinks and products that target brown fat and increase metabolism have no substance," says Matt O'Neil, exercise physiologist and dietitian
