The Great Big List of Calorie-Free Foods (american kickboxing)
No commentsBy Nick Nilsson
It’s a little known fact (or in most cases, wishful thinking) that some foods can, in certain situations, go from being fattening no-no’s to being totally calorie-free simply by mangling your perspective. Here’s a list of those foods and situations.
1. Anything sampled when preparing food - If you’re taste-testing, those tastes are calorie-free. If you’re cooking for someone else and aren’t going to be having any yourself, those tastes actually have negative calories and can help you lose weight.
2. Anything eaten off someone else’s plate doesn’t count. If you can get it when they’re not looking, that’s negative calories again.
3. Food “rescued” from the floor - When the “3 second rule” is in effect (i.e. it’s still good if it’s only been on the floor 3 seconds or less), that snack has zero calories. Plus, if you have to race your dog to it and you win, you’re allowed another bite from the original undropped item for free.
4. Out of necessity, food that is eaten on the day of the expiration date has no calories. After all, we don’t want that triple-chocolate fudge cake to go to waist… I mean waste.
5. Anything eaten on your birthday, a friend’s birthday or a family member’s birthday has no calories. This includes family and friends whom you haven’t spoken to or mentioned in years.
6. Foods that you’ve never tasted before are calorie free. If you don’t recognize it, eat it guilt-free. If you can’t even pronounce the name, that’s negative calories.
7. If you live in an Italian family, your fifth and sixth helpings are calorie-free. Besides, “You’re too skinny, you need to eat more.”
8. The calories of any leftover foods will be added to the total of the day you originally started eating them on. This means the calories from the leftover pie you eat on Wednesday only count on Tuesday, the day you originally started the pie. And who cares about yesterday?
9. If you can eat it through a straw, it has no calories. For example, if you can get a piece of spaghetti through a straw, you deserve it.
10. Anything that contains the word “free” in it has to be calorie-free because advertisers would never lie or try to sell you a product that would make you fat. This principle also applies to the words “lite” and “reduced.”
11. The last item or bite on any plate has no calories. For instance, the last cookie? No calories. The last slice of pizza? No calories. The last box of donuts? No calories.
If you put all of these calorie-free foods into your diet, you will have great success in watching your waistline - it will be way out in front of you where you can see it!

9 Tips To Increase Your Metabolism And Lose Weight Fast
By Clive Calvin
If you have a low metabolism, your goal should be to give it a boost. When you maintain a high metabolism, you are able to burn off the fat and lose weight. There are a lot of factors that will cause the slowing down of your metabolism. A couple of these factors include muscle loss and less physical activity. Lets look at some ways to boost this metabolism.
Tip #1 Drink a lot of water
When your body burns the fat, toxins are produced. Drinking a lot of water will help to flush these out. When you don’t get enough water, the various systems in our body will actually operate at a slower rate of speed.
Tip #2 Don’t skip your breakfast
Always considered to be the meal of the day to eat, your metabolism will run slower if you skip breakfast or wait until later in the day to eat your breakfast.
Tip #3 Cut out the sugar
If you want to store more fat, eat more sugar or food that has a lot of sugar in it. To get rid of the fat, increase your physical activity and eat the food that will not help you store fat.
Tip #4 Eat smaller meals more times per day
It is a good idea to eat 4-6 smaller meals about every 3 hours.
Tip #5 - Take the time to plan what you are going to eat
It is important to take the time to plan what you are going to eat. This will prevent you from just running and getting anything to eat. This will also help to prevent you from skipping meals.
Tip #6 Do not get in the habit of skipping meals
Skipping meals may actually help you to gain weight, as your body will store up fat and your metabolism will slow down.
Tip #7 - Get rid of that stress
A steroid known as cortisol is released when you are under a lot of stress. This steroid will help to slow the metabolism down. Getting rid of your stress is a good idea, because a lot of times people will eat more if they think they are under a lot of stress.
Tip #8 Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables
These are your energy foods and are foods that will help you increase your metabolism.
Tip #9 Get a lot of exercise or some type of physical activity
Exercise along with eating the right foods will help you either lose weight or help you maintain the level that you are at. Just doing things like working out with weights or walking or even taking the steps will help you to stay active.
As you consider these tips, remember that taking care of your body is not something that you do today and then forget about tomorrow. The process of eating right, increasing your metabolism and getting the proper amount of physical activity should become a way of life for you.
