How to Burn 300-500 Extra Calories A Day

Most women are constantly thinking about how to burn more calories.'

I know that when I was in my 20s, this is all I thought about…

There are a couple of ways to increase our energy expenditure:โฃ
โฃ
๐Ÿญ. ๐——๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ผโฃ
This is what most women are very familiar with: Get on the treadmill, start running, and stop once we've burned 300-400 (500, 600…) calories. โฃ

This was me in my 20s too, except that I always ran outside. But I couldn't sit down and chill even for a minute because I was literally thinking: How do I burn calories then?

This is not a long term strategy to burn extra 300-500 calories a day; besides, tons of cardio slows down the metabolism so that eventually burning 300-500 extra calories requires longer and longer runs.
โฃ
๐Ÿฎ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐—บโฃ
This is what many women are AFRAID of, even though this is a much easier way to burn energy. Here's how it works: By building muscle, we burn more calories because our body needs to maintain that muscle. Maintaining muscle requires energy. โฃ
โฃ
How we eat and exercise determines what our metabolism looks like!
โฃ
We can choose to spend an extra hour running off two cookies, or we can eat a high protein, sufficient calorie diet that allows us to have that occasional cookie and still look and feel the same.

Of course, I'm talking about a generally healthy diet with some fun foods, not bingeing.โฃ
โฃ
You can literally go from eating 1200 calories a day, running all the time and feeling like you're constantly getting heavier, to โžก๏ธโžก๏ธ eating 2000+ calories a day, maintaining your weight, and having an actually healthy body. โฃ
โฃ
I personally never look at how many calories my workout burned because it doesn't matter. โฃ
โฃ
What matters is eating enough calories and a lot of protein which then helps to get stronger and increase muscle. โฃ
โฃ
Once you build a strong metabolism, you don't need tons of cardio to burn extra energy. โฃ
