The hack? Exercise snacks, she reveals. What are exercise snacks? "Quick bursts of movement that help your blood sugar levels stay balanced & avoid the glucose rollercoaster of cravings/crashes," Aimee says.

Aimee explains that research supports short bursts of energy. "Three 10 minute walks daily can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 30% compared to sitting, reducing insulin spikes that drive fat storage," she says.

​You Will Experience Reduced Cravings

Doing this may also have you craving less food. "Boosts metabolic health (& lowers ghrelin, the hunger hormone) helping to reduce hunger naturally," she writes.

​Walking in the Morning Will Help Reset Circadian Rhythm

There are also benefits to starting the day with a walk. "Morning walks help reset your circadian rhythm, balance cortisol, & improve sleep — key factors in effective weight loss," she says.

​And, They Won't Spike Stress Hormones

There are even studies showing that walks are better than HIIT workouts. "Plus, unlike intense workouts that may spike stress hormones, short walks keep you in a relaxed, fat-burning parasympathetic state," she says.
