30 ideas to burn more calories every day

You might have heard this topic or even googled this topic: " calories in vs. calories out," It seems an easy way of saying:

- When you take in more energy than you burn, you gain weight. - When you take in less energy than you burn, you lose weight. It is true. This is a fundamental concept in body weight regulations, and about as close as scientific fact as we can get. But you then have many questions. My husband eats burgers while I diet on salad, why is he skinny while I put on weight? I am only eating 1000 calories a day and why I am still not losing weight? I feel full and bloated after a few bites of food, why? How many workouts do I need to do each week in order to lose weight? I was on that Shake diet for a few weeks, and lost 10 pounds, but now I only just started to eat real food but I am gaining weight back already, why? Let's dig a bit deeper..

Here are factors that influence "Energy in." - Appetite (influenced by hormones that regulate appetite and satiety etc.) - Food consumed ( influenced by palatability, energy density, sleep, culture etc..) - Calories absorbed (influenced by nutrient intake, age, health status, energy status etc.) - Psychological factors (influenced by stress level, sleep quality, mindset etc.) Here are factors that influence "Energy Out" - Energy burned through exercise - Energy burned through non-exercise activity ( walking to work, grocery shopping, playing with kids, gardening etc.) - Energy burned at rest (influenced by hormonal status, genetic factors, age, body size etc) - Energy burned while metabolizing food (whole food? processed food? fiber-rich food?)

They do sound complicated. That's why I came up with a list of ideas for you - to burn more calories on a daily basis, and to get closer to your health and wellness goals.

1, Get more high-quality sleep to better regulate hunger hormones, improve recovery, and increase metabolic output. 2, Improve the quality of what you're eating, as opposed to reducing the quantity.
