I want to let you in on a little weight loss secret that’s rarely talked about … because it’s totally free AND it’s the single most natural thing in the world.
Get ready … take a deep breath and here it is … my secret is … breathing!
What?! Why is your weight loss secret something our bodies do naturally already?
Exactly! I’m talking about something our bodies do without us even having to think about it.
A lot of people don’t know that oxygen is actually a key nutrient to speeding up your metabolism. Yet, oxygen is almost completely ignored in most nutrition books.
What’s important about oxygen when it comes to weight loss?
Most experts focus on carbs, proteins and fats but ignore the one key nutrient—OXYGEN—that helps to more efficiently burn all of these nutrients in the body.
The bottom line on oxygen is that when you breathe, you burn more energy.
Think of the analogy of building a fire.
Two of the things you have to have in order to build a fire are fuel and good air circulation (and you need heat, of course).
The same is true in your gut. You need food for fuel and oxygen to stoke your metabolic fire.
This is one of the reasons why physical exercise is so powerful—it increases the body’s oxygen intake and teaches the body to use that oxygen to burn fat even more efficiently.
How can I start breathing while eating?
Try this simple trick—put your utensil down three times in your meal (and more if possible — you’d be surprised at how few times most of us do this). Each time you put your utensil down, take a deep breath.
You can even do this when you’re at a work dinner or out with friends—it can be your little secret!
Try this simple trick and listen to that fabulous body of yours. It may just say thank you in marvelous ways!
