Eat a good Breakfast - The heartier the better! Everyday! Think protein and health carbs - egg, greek yogurt, steel cut oats, whole grain toast, peanut butter, berries.
Brew up some green tea - The ingredient ECGC promotes fat burning. Steep it for 3 minutes, drink it hot and drink it often. Try for 3-5 cups per day....over a year that could mean a 5 pound weight loss.
Grab some Metal - IRON You need iron to carry O2 through your body and your monthly period can screw that up and then your energy tanks. Stock up on iron fortified cereals, beans, leafy greens - spinach, kale, broccoli, bok choy.
Mix things up with exercise intervals - Bursts of speed in your cardio can stimulate fat burners. 20 mins of cardio with 10 "can't talk sprints" over that 20 mins is far more effective to melt fat than 40 minutes of cardio in the zone. Hint - that is why we do 30 sec cardio intervals in my bootcamps!!!
GO TO BED EARLY - SLEEP!!!!! Having 8-9 hours of sleep every night resets our hormone levels - cortisol, grehlin, Estrogen etc - that then makes our bodies "better butter burners". Turn out the ligths, turn off the TV & computer. Get some SLEEP!!!
