1. Increase Meal Frequency - Consume smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Instead of eating 2 or 3 large meals, eat 5 or 6 smaller meals spread throughout the day. This will help raise your metabolism as well as stablize your blood sugar enabling your body to burn fat more efficiently.
   
   
2. Aerobics - Add aerobic exercise to your exercise program. Taking a brisk walk, riding the stationary bike, or stepping on the stairclimber are all great fat burners. Pick one that you enjoy and do it for 30 minutes, 3 times per week. Also remember that exercising first thing in the morning before breakfast can burn up to 3 times more fat than aerobic exercise performed later in the day.
   
   
3. Drink Plenty of Water - Many people overlook the importance of drinking adequate amounts of water everyday. One of the best ways to get rid of excess water retention is to drink more water, not less. Drink at least a gallon of water everday to get rid of the excess weight caused by water retention.
   
   
4. Cut Carbs - Although carbohydrates are an important part of your nutrition and health, eating too many will prevent you from slimming down. Carbohydrates can cause insulin levels to rise creating unstable sugar levels. Your body cannot burn fat when your insulin levels are elevated. To slim down, cut back on breads, pastas, juices, bagels, candy, and fruits that are high in carbs.
   
   
5. Weight Training - Train with weights 3 to 4 days a week. Added muscle will increase your ability to burn fat. Remember, if you consistantly weight train, your metabolism will increase causing your body fat to decrease!
