2 Surprising things that may drop calories

Often when people are dieting, they tend to limit all kinds of fatty foods and eat only at meal times. The following two things may surprise you if you are trying to lose weight:

Eating fatty foods

Foods that are rich in good fats such as omega-3 fatty acids can not only boost your health but they can also help you lose weight. Studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids can increase feelings of satiety and fullness, helping you to eat less. 

Furthermore, a study by the University of South Australia found that participants who took omega-3 rich fish oil and exercised three times a week lost more weight than those who only exercised. It is believed that this is because omega-3 improves blood flow to muscles, increasing the benefits of exercise and helping you to burn off more calories.

Eating more frequently

Eating more frequently could help you keep off the kilograms, rather than skipping meals would. While eating too much food may cause you to gain weight, eating too little can also make it difficult to lose weight. As your body has a natural instinct to protect itself, it will automatically go into starvation mode if it is not given sufficient fuel. This will cause your metabolism to slow down and your body to hoard fat and calories. So instead of missing meals or reducing your calorie intake too drastically, rather opt for having small and healthy meals regularly in addition to regular exercise.
