4 Easy Ways to Boost Your Metabolism
Want to lose weight and keep it off? Have you tried every diet out there, but nothing works? If so, you might have a slow metabolism. Stress, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications can decrease metabolic rate. Fortunately, you can trick your body into burning more calories. Simple things, such as eating more protein and lifting weights, can speed up your metabolism and help you slim down. You can calculate your metabolic rate and here are some tips to help you out:
Increase Your Protein Intake
Tuna, chicken, eggs and other high-protein foods increase metabolic rate, causing your body to burn energy more efficiency. They also keep you full longer and suppress cravings. Research indicates that protein takes up to 30 more energy to digest compared to fats and carbohydrates. This explains its metabolism boosting effects. Additionally, it helps preserve muscle while on a diet.
Lift Weights
Strength training builds muscle and sheds fat, leading to a faster metabolism. The more muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn. Cardio, on the other hand, can slow down your metabolism and cause muscle loss. Foe this reason, try not to exceed 30 to 40 minutes of cardio per day. For best results, mix weight lifting and aerobic training.
Choose Your Foods Wisely
Certain foods and beverages, such as green tea, egg whites, chicken breast, grapefruit, chilies, and cinnamon, increase metabolism. Some are high in protein, while others contain fat burning compounds that accelerate weight loss. Adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to your smoothies or drinking two cups of green tea a day will rev up your metabolism and make you healthier overall.
Eat More Often to Speed Your Metabolism
People who eat small, frequent meals burn more calories and feel less hungry throughout the day. When you skip a meal or two, your body enters starvation mode. Next time to eat, it will store more calories than usual. By eating more often, you’ll prevent insulin spikes and keep your metabolism high.
