Boost Your Metabolism: Lose Weight, Get More Energy, And Feel Great
Author: Julia DenhamMany dieters give up dieting because they get too tired. It's impossible to deal with all the demands on your life if you're exhausted all the time. The major reason you're exhausted is because your metabolism has slowed, because you're not taking in sufficient calories. One of the secrets to losing weight - and keeping it off forever - is to eat with your metabolism in mind. You can boost your metabolism very easily. Then not only will you lose weight, but you'll have loads of energy and you'll feel great.
What's Your Metabolism? Why Does It Matter?
Your metabolism is the rate at which your body turns calories into usable energy - the calories from food you eat, and from the stored fat in your body. Most dieters don't realize that they need to EAT to burn their fat reserves. Your body will turn into a hoarder if you're not eating enough to burn fat.
How To Boost Your Metabolism Fast
To boost your metabolism, it's essential that you eat more than 1000 calories a day. If you eat less, hoping that you'll lose weight faster, your body won't let you. It will go into starvation mode, hoarding each calorie. THis is one of the major reasons that dieters plateau - and some dieters even put on weight on a diet.
So eat more - over 1000 calories. Start your day by eating breakfast. This starts your metabolism for the day.
Walk - And Lift Weights For a 24-Hour Metabolism Boost
Did you know that if you go for a 20-minute walk, it will boost your metabolism for 24 hours? You should also lift some weights to increase your muscle-mass, because your muscles burn calories. There's no need to go to the gym and become a bodybuilder. Just get some small weights, and lift them while you watch TV.
So there you have it - easy ways to boost your metabolism: eat, get some exercise, and lift weights. You'll be amazed that just a single day of eating a little more, and moving around more, will help you to lose weight, feel great, and have much more energy.
