Sitting at a desk all day means a lowered metabolism and an average weight gain of 8 lb's within one year. It took me longer than a year but I got there.
Ways to increase metabolism:
- raise heart rate in morning by working out
- get up & walk around every hour
- walk instead of emailing or calling (to deliver little hand written msgs to co-workers, in case that wasn't clear!)
- stand up while talking on the phone, pace a bit
- add a touch of apple cider vinegar to your water
- fall in love with spicy foods
- eat whole foods & limit your processed junk to one or two meals on the wknd
- don't drink pop, even Diet!
- take your omega oil supplements
- drink green & black teas
- drink 1/2 of your bodyweight (in lb's) in oz's! (eg. 140 pounds = 70 oz. of water)
- washroom jumping jacks
- lunchtime walks around the block
