Quick tips to shred lots 1 An espresso before a fat-burning cardio session is officially a good way to improve your athletic performance, as caffeine is proven to boost your strength and energy levels. But spooning green coffee into your cafetière rather than the regular, fully-roasted beans will add an extra lump of weight-loss science to your cup. 2 Being lighter this year doesn’t mean lifting bigger. shedding fat through weight-training is all about muscular fatigue. By pushing out more reps in your first set rather than your last, you empty your muscles of energy, burning your body’s fat stores instead. 3 Feedback loops are the current darling of psychological science. While recording your results in order to monitor your progress isn’t new, the key to success is social networking. Research found that Facebook updates stating your fat-burning goal aid weight loss by up to 20%, with an instant feeling of accountability in the widest social circle in the world. And if any followers decide to join you in your quest, even better. Instigators of weight loss ‘teams’ were found to shed even more pounds, thanks to a sense of shared responsibility. Provide the spark, then let others feed your calorie burn. 4 The link between sleep and weight gain has been rubber-stamped. sleep-deprivation impairs the region of the brain responsible for behaviour and complex choices. Tired subjects opted for foods high in sugar and fat, and gained an average of 5kg. The secret to sleeping off any cravings is a flash of red. Red LED alarm clocks were found to improve sleep quality compared to white ones. Trade up to slim down. Night night.
