HOW TO INCREASE YOUR METABOLISM
Metabolism is the rate at which your body processes the food that you put into it.
If you are trying to achieve weight loss, increasing your metabolic rate will help
WHAT HAS MADE YOU SO FRUSTRATED
The commercialism surrounding “metabolism-enhancing products” has made it much more difficult.
To separate fact from fiction and from advertising that is out there. Here are simple strategies that have shown to be effective
1.Increasing your metabolism with diet
2.Eat small meals frequently throughout the day. If one extends the time between meals, your body could go into “starvation mode”, which decreases your metabolism as a means to conserve energy and prevent hunger. (starvation) In addition most people will generally eat less overall when they eat small, frequent meals,
3. Choose lean protein. Eating a diet that is rich in lean proteins will increase your metabolism, because it takes more energy for your body to digest the protein. Choose lean proteins like eggs chicken, turkey, fish, lean meats, and tofu.
4.Drink plenty of water. Studies have shown that by increasing the amount of water that you drink
You can also increase your metabolic rate by 40%. This increase may be a result of your body’s attempt to heat the water that you are ingesting, but the reason for the increase is unclear
5. Drink green tea. Combining, green tea with diet and exercise can also help.
6. Some people believe that a tablespoon of Braggs appel cider vinegar mixed with water could help. Available at most grocery stores.
7.Also Kevita, a probiotic drink, drink 8 oz (Kevita- Chili Cinger Lime- Apple Cider Vinegar) Available at Whole Foods
8. When waking fresh lemon juice with hot water
9. Mix 6oz of cranberry juice (not from Concentrate) with 36 ounces of water. (You may use a small amount of stevia as it is very tart).
10.You could purchase (dried hibiscus leaves) a well know natural diuretic which originates from
From Mexico. It is called JIMICA . It can be found at most international farmers markets, or Mexican grocery stores. It is tart so can sweeten with a little stevia.
11.Follow a healthy diet, not a crash diet, it will dramatically restrict your caloric intake, which can have a negative effect on your metabolism. In the beginning you will achieve some initial weight loss from a crash diet. However, crash diets ultimately slow down your metabolism. Crash diets can also cause you to become deficient in some important nutrients you need. So the more consistent you are on a good healthy plan the better results you will get. Going up and down on the scale will never give you the results you wish for. We must not kid ourselves its simply called REALITY AND PERCEPTION.
Determine what is influencing your metabolism.
Your metabolism is affected by a variety of factors.
There are several factors that u can control and change, and some factors that u cannot control.
TRY not to eat after 8pm
GENDER – Men generally burn calories more quickly than woman because they have more muscle mass .
Hereditary – you can inherit your metabolism genetics
Exercise – get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day. Aerobic exercise burns calories while you are doing it. And keeps your metabolism elevated even after u finish. If you have had a hard time fitting in 30 minutes at once, do your aerobic exercise in smaller intervals, like 5,10 or 15 minute sessions. Everyone can find some time during the day. During your lunch time take a brisk walk around your office complex. Add strength training. Building muscle helps raise your resting metabolism as well as strengthen your bones. A pound of muscle burns calories per day, while a pound of fat burns only 2 calories per day.
Muscle burns more calories than fat does. So the muscle you build the higher your resting metabolic rate will be.
Extra ways to get more exercise
The more you move the higher your metabolism will be , so look for small opportunities to move more
As you go through your day. Take the stairs, instead of the elevator, park further away from the entrance to where you are going. Steer clear of over the counter diet and pills and other quick fixes . The products may seem like they are too good to be true, BECAUSE THEY ARE. They are not regulated by the FDA and there is NO guarantee that u will even lose weight. Some of them may be dangerous due to the high levels of caffeine and other ingredients. Do not go to health stores and ask them what to take, they will sell you hundreds of dollars of horse pills. When you do go to a health store, go with a specific list, like probiotics, calcium with vitamin D, Iron, Vitamin D, or whatever nutrients you think you may be lacking. Ultimately, if you are eating a balanced diets, supplements are not necessary.
If you work hard at your diet and incorporate some of these suggestions it will help you achieve your goals. In some situations people do all they can, and for whatever reason their weight loss is very slow. So its takes patience and determination to succeed, NO MATTER WHAT.
