You might just need more activity or small changes in your diet to increase your metabolism.\u00a0Here are a few easy ways to tweak your efforts and start getting the results you want:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>**Add strength building to your routine\u2014Did you know one pound of fat burns 2 calories of fat daily while a pound of muscle burns 6 calories.<\/p>\n<p>**Keep doing aerobic exercises, but step up the intensity. If you are walking, keep walking but add in some short spurts of faster walking or jogging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2378 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/girl-drinking-water.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a>**Okay, let\u2019s get the water bottles out! Web MD reports that adults who drank 8 glasses of water person burned more calories than those who drank 4 glasses. You don\u2019t have to chug down water all at once. How about having a glass before every meal? That is already adding 3 glasses. And don\u2019t forget fruits and vegetables which contain lots of water. Did you read our <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2JJtwG3\">article on watermelon<\/a>??<\/p>\n<p>**Don\u2019t wait hours and hours to have a meal. I often tend to eat a late breakfast and nothing until dinner\u2014and then I am ravenous at night. Instead I should be having a small snack or meal every 3-4 hours.<\/p>\n<p>**Are you getting enough protein in your diet. Your body will burn up more calories digesting protein than it does with fats or carbohydrates&#8212;this means low fat meat, eggs or dairy products. Don\u2019t forget that beans and nuts are also a good source of protein.<\/p>\n<p>**Are you a couch potato?
