5 Healthy Secrets Slim People Already Know

Everyone puts on a few pounds around the holidays – basically it’s inevitable. You’re there, with your fam, and the food is all so yummy – and then you eat a little more to deal with the stress of being with your family. Hey, it’s okay. It happens to all of us.

But, it’s a new year, and you don’t want to keep those extra pounds around. Even thin people put on a little weight during the holidays, but they know the secrets to dropping the pounds. And, I’m going to share these secrets with you!

1. Breathe Through Your Nose
When you inhale and exhale through your mouth, your breathing gets shallow. Your brain interprets this as a sign of anxiety, and produces extra cortisol and adrenaline – causing you to gain weight. When you breathe through your nose, the opposite happens, stress levels drop and your body gets more oxygen, resulting in more energy. Your body functions better, and when your body functions properly the weight melts away.

Write a reminder to yourself saying “breathe” – and the post it on your computer. Heck, post them all around the house where you will see them. As a side note, around the midriff is where most receptor sites for cortisol are located – and that’s why you gain weight around your belly.

2. Boost Your Thyroid
Your thyroid is the organ responsible for your metabolism and energy level. But, the problem is that most Americans are deficient in iodine – something your thyroid *must* have to function properly. Your thyroid is supposed to store a 3 month supply of iodine. If you don’t have enough, you will not be able to keep up through the day. You will be tired and your energy will be nonexistant.

But how can you tell if you are iodine deficient? Click HERE for a super simple test. Boosting your iodine level is one of the best things you can do to up your energy levels. If your thyroid is off balance, you will never lose weight.

3. Daily Cardio Workouts
Daily cardio is sooo important. I can’t stress this enough. You need to have 30-45 minutes where you actually break a sweat and get your heart pumping. Stair climbing, biking, swimming and cross country skiing are great options. You can even just start with a brisk walk, pumping your arms as you go. Just 30 minutes a day can make a huge difference for your health.

4. Strength Training
Strength training is super important too. Lifting weights 2x a week for 20 min helps to build lean muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn – even when you are sleeping!

5. EAT!
Seriously, you have to eat. Many women try to skip meals to cut out calories, but actually, the best thing to do is eat 5 small meals. It’s better than 3 big meals, because it’s like adding coal to the fire continually. If done right, the pounds will fall off.
