4. Keep a sm all squeeze hall with you and w ork out your hands
frequently during the day. It’s one o f the few exercises you can do
anyw here.
5. D on't starve yourself. C utting too m any calories can backfire
in m ore w ays than one. Try to subsist on m orsels and your m etabo­
lism will slow to a crawl.
6. Put five rubber bands around your wrist every morning. T hat’s
how many 16-ounce bottles o f w ater you should drink during the day
to rev your m etabolism , helping to bum more calories. Your m eta­
bolic rate increases to heat up the w ater intake, so be sure to drink
icy water.
7. Exercise outside. M aybe it’s the fresh air. m aybe it’s the sun­
shine, but som ething about exercising in the open air m akes you walk
or run faster than doing the sam e exercise in the gym.
8. Turn up the heat with hot peppers. Studies have shown that very
spicy foods can tem porarily increase your m etabolism .
9. Eat five sm all m eals throughout the day instead o f three large
m eals. By eating every few hours, you keep your m etabolism fired
up and ensure it d o esn 't slow dow n betw een meals. A “ m eal” can
be as sm all as a cup o f soup, a glass o f juice or a piece o f fruit.
10. Sipa couple o f cups o f coffee throughout theday. Studies find that
the caffeine in coffee increases the rate a, w hich your body bum s
calories. N ote: caloric-packed F rappaccino's are unacceptable as a
caffeine substitute. Sorry.
