The Best Simple Steps to Boost Your Metabolism and Burn Additional Fat
Hate dieting? You're not alone. If there's one thing
most people dread more than anything, cutting calories is it.
But, if you want to lose weight and tone up your
body, you know that you must consume fewer calories each day than you
burn off.
Now, rather than focusing on continually decreasing your
calorie intake, how about you focus on the other element of that
equation – increasing your daily output?
This is a far more effective and enjoyable way to
lose weight and if you go about it in the right manner, will produce
superior results as well. If you use the follow simple tips you can
quickly increase your metabolic rate, which is what determines how
many calories you body burns off daily.
Get it revved up to very high levels and you'll be
able to eat more food and still see the weight loss you're looking
for.
If that sounds like something you're interested in,
pay attention to the following ideas.
1. Eat More Protein
The very first thing that you should do if you want to ramp up your metabolism instantly is to eat more protein. Many women unfortunately don't get enough protein with their fat loss diet and this really causes them to see a decline in results.
The very first thing that you should do if you want to ramp up your metabolism instantly is to eat more protein. Many women unfortunately don't get enough protein with their fat loss diet and this really causes them to see a decline in results.
For every 100 calories worth of protein rich food
that you eat, your body will actually only 'net' about 75 of those
calories. If you were to take in those same 100 calories worth of
carbs or dietary fats however, you would net at total of 94 or 98
of those calories. See the difference?
By eating protein rich foods more often you're
essentially boosting your metabolic rate by 25% so this is a very
fast and effective way to melt fat faster.
2. Perform High Intensity Exercise
Second, the next thing that you should do to elevate
your metabolism is to perform higher intensity exercise.
The great
thing about high intensity exercise is not only is it going to whip
you into shape faster, but it'll dramatically reduce the time you
have to spend in the gym as well.
If you're doing a high intensity workout, whether
it's with your cardio training or your weight lifting workout
session, you can get in and out of the gym in as little as 20-25
minutes. For anyone with a busy schedule, this is definitely the way
to go.
What's more is that after that high intensity
workout, your metabolism will stay elevated for up to 48 hours. This
means you'll be burning extra fat while watching your favorite TV
show later on in the evening. Hahaha, you like this idea? We always want this...watching TV and burning fat..3. Drink green tea
Green tea has long been heralded for its antioxidant polyphenols. But new evidence shows the active ingredient, catechin, may crank up metabolism.Researchers conducted a series of studies in dieters and found that those who went green lost more weight than those who didn't, suggesting that catechins may improve fat oxidation and thermogenesis, your body's production of energy, or heat, from digestion.
But how much do you have to drink? According to one study, if you drink five eight-ounce cups of green tea a day, you can increase your energy expenditure by 90 calories a day.
Sounds like a lot of tea, but it's not hard to do if you also drink it iced.
I like to change some green teas with some green teas with aroma, like vanilla...smell really good ;)
4. Get your Omega-3's
Why does eating lots of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, herring, and tuna) help amp up metabolism? Omega-3s balance blood sugar and reduce inflammation, helping to regulate metabolism.They may also reduce resistance to the hormone leptin, which researchers have linked to how fast fat is burned. We will talk later about leptin, it is really miracle hormone..;)
A study in Obesity Research found rats that ingested large doses of fish oil while exercising lost weight. Take omega-3 fatty acid supplements; Hyman recommends 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per day. Hate the fishy after-burp? Try flaxseed oil, walnuts, or eggs fortified with omega-3s. Or check out supplements that have no fishy taste.
5. Use an Appropriate Metabolic Increasing Supplement
There are many metabolism boosting diet pills out there on the market. One of the best known metabolism boosters is caffeine. Caffeine increase the amount of energy used by your body, plus it can give you more energy to exercise. Avoid metabolism boosters that solely contain caffeine though – too much can make you feel jittery.
Remember that supplements should always be used with
a proper fat burning diet and workout program, but when you do pair
the three together, you simply will not beat the fat loss results
that take place.
