More way to burn calories:

Walk or ride a bike to work if possible. A friend of mine works two blocks from home, yet he drives to work. If you commute and use a form of mass transit, don't depart at the nearest stop. Get off at the previous stop and walk the rest of the way.

Park and shop. What do most of us tend to do when we go shopping? We look for a place to park as close to the entrance as possible. Some of us are even willing to keep driving in circles until we find that cherished spot. Why not park away from everyone? You will find plenty of parking spaces and you will gain health benefits by walking the extra distance. An added benefit; your car is more likely to be spared from parking lot dings and dents.

11 More Calories Burned Per Hour

A study conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota shows a direct correlation to chewing gum and weight loss. Does chewing a piece of gum actually make a difference as far as losing weight?

Yes it does!

It depends on how often you chew gum.

If you chew gum often, then yes, it will make a difference for weight loss. The researchers found that chewing gum increases your metabolism by 20%. The study showed that the average gum chewer burns off 11 more calories for each hour of chewing gum as opposed to people who don't chew gum.

Over a year, that adds up to thousands of calories burned during chewing as well as 10 pounds or more weight loss.
