You burn calories which convert to energy for three main bodily functions:

1) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) This is the amount of calories you burn each just by living – even when you are asleep or doing nothing. BMR takes 60% of the calories burned for most of us.

2) Calories burned during for Activity This is the energy used during movement – from doing the shopping to going to the loo. This ais approximately 30% of the calories burned.

3) Dietary Thermogenesis. Big words but the thermogenic effect is best described as meal-induced heat production – the calories burned in the process of eating, digesting, absorbing and using food.

Eat an open-faced sandwich (eliminate 1 slice of bread).
Eat the “fun-sized” candy bars instead of the regular size ones.
Eliminate the extra butter on your popcorn at the theater.
Eat baked potato chips rather than regular potato chips and you will save half the calories.

More way to burn calories:

Do your housework with vigor. Before you begin your chores, put on your favorite music with an upbeat tempo. Work at a much quicker pace than usual. Not only will you burn extra calories but you will also finish quicker.

Go for a walk. Take a friend, neighbor, co-worker or a dog and go for a brisk walk. Walking at a fast pace offers a variety of health benefits; it is a low impact form of exercise, it is convenient and it is free.

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.
