ah, sleep. In my research in how to help my body burn fat...this has been one of the top 3 things most helpful things that Ive learned. Its one of my favorites ;)
top 3 things Ive done/learned to help me reach my goals:
1. SLEEP! for reasons I dont know well enough to repeat, my body needs sleep to recover and release hormones that I need to lose weight. Maybe i dont need as much as I get on the weekends, but well...call me an overachiever ;)
2. Coffee! I drink a tall non-fat capp nearly every day (HATE that its not organic milk) about 45 minutes before working out. Helps reduce muscle fatigue during and after workouts and helps burn fat. side note: beware of drinking too much caffiene
3. walking: Dr. V, a frequent guest on the Jillian Michael's podcast listed a 30 minute walk before or after a meal as THE most important thing you could do to lose weight. Look it up!
I havent done any scientific evaluations or reversal designs to test these things, but I figure since they're reducing my stress level and cant hurt anyway...why not?
