The Simple Trick to Burn More Calories

Advice from Jorge Cruise

To accelerate your weight loss results, try walking before breakfast. Walking for 20 minutes right when you get up in the morning is going to help you burn an additional 150 to 200 calories per day. That means if you walk six mornings a week, you’ll burn an additional 1,200 calories per week! This will make a big difference in how quickly you reach your goal.

Recent research confirms that cardio done on an empty stomach is more effective than cardio performed after eating. A study conducted at Kansas State University found that fasting exercisers burned “significantly more fat” than exercisers who ate beforehand. Another study, performed at the University of California, Berkeley, confirmed this finding. The UCS researchers wrote than fat loss increased only when study participants “exercised in a fasted state.”
