Maintaining Your Shape after Shedding Some Fat

You have to do something that would make you burn some calories. If your office is not on ground floor, that makes it easy for you. Then you should make it a habit to run up the stairs. You can run halfway through and complete it by taking the lift or use the staircase completely if you can. That is enough exercise. You have to do it daily.

Try to take what would speed up your metabolism. Increase the quantity of fiber in your diet. You should also take green tea regularly. Both of them are helpful in speeding up your metabolism. Virgin coconut oil is good too. It helps you to burn your calories faster.
