How to Burn More Calories While You Sleep

Posted on July 9, 2013 by admin

If only you could work off the calories from that froyo you had earlier while passed out on the couch. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it may not be that far off: Turning down the thermostat while you sleep could help rev up your metabolism, according to a new study conducted by the National Institute of Health Clinical Center.

For the study, 31 healthy people slept in either a 75-degree room or a 66-degree room. Researchers found that the colder sleepers burned more than 7 percent more calories than the warm sleepers—likely because their bodies were working to raise their core body temperature to a stable 98.6 degrees, says study author Francesco Saverio Celi, MD, MHSc, of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease.

If you lowered the thermostat to 66 degrees at bedtime, you could burn an extra 100 calories over the course of 24 sleeping hours, according to study results. That might not sound like much, but it adds up—in theory at least.

See, researchers don’t yet know whether your body compensates for these calories in another way—like by making you hungrier or less amped to work out when you’re awake, says Celi. Still, if you’re trying to lose a few pounds, it can’t hurt to turn down the temperature before you crawl under the covers. Just make sure you don’t pile on the blankets or wear your warmest pajamas at the same time: You can’t expect to see results unless you tough it out in the cold, says Celi.

There Are How Many Calories In That Frozen Yogurt?

Posted on May 9, 2013 by admin

It’s easy to convince yourself that froyo runs are kinda-sorta good for you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but frozen yogurt is a treat, not a health food—and the new trend in self-serve froyo shops makes it harder than ever not to go overboard on sugar and calories. Think about it: The cups are huge, the machines pump out yogurt way faster than you expect them to, and the nearly endless supply of toppings means you’re probably going to pile on at least half a dozen different ones.

Need some help summoning up the superhuman willpower necessary to keep your next frozen yogurt concoction under control? Take a look at how many calories each scoop of your favorite toppings will set you back:

Got an attack of the mid-afternoon munchies? Our snack stack lets you decide whether you’d rather knock back four very light bites—or savor one decadent treat.

Don’t know whether to go with something savory or satify that sweet tooth instead? No worries! “As far as salty and sweet go, it really depends on your craving,” says Keri Glassman, RD, author of The O2 Diet.

Give yourself what you’re in the mood for. Just keep this in mind: “Protein, fiber, and fat help you feel full, so eat snacks with at least one of these.”
