How to Burn Calories While Eating

There are little eating tricks to burn more calories. One of the best known is eating small meals throughout the day. This works because your body doesn't have much food to digest and absorb all at once and becomes active every few hours, after every meal or snack. If you eat more frequently your body doesn't go into fasting (which slows the metabolism) and your metabolic rate will always be soaring.

Another calorie burning "trick" is spicy food. A spicy dish can rev up your metabolism by 50% for up to 3 hours after eating. Spices improve digestion by increasing the hydrochloric secretion in the stomach. This increases the metabolic rate, therefore raising the rate of absorption. This is in addition to the fact that spice raises your body temperature and will cause you to sweat, which also burns calories.

There is also a theory that suggests cold food and beverages, like a very cold glass of water will burn more calories because the body has to work hard to lower the internal body temperature.

Of course, whether you eat frequently or consume super hot or cold foods keep in mind these little tricks won't be the primary cause of weight loss by any stretch! Remember the only real way to be healthy and get in to shape is by a proper diet and regular exercise.
