Today many diets allow you to lose weight. In this book, we focus on the relationship between strengthening the metabolism and weight loss. A series of slight changes are proposed to be introduced in your diet and in your activity to facilitate the increase in the metabolism rate and the consequent weight loss. A series of easy physical exercises are suggested that complete the process.
How to get a Faster Metabolism
Be sure you are focusing on activity as well as diet, as it makes a significant difference in your ability to burn calories.
About your Diet
You can follow whatever diet with the exception of fad diets that are going to lead to poor health in the future or use diet supplements, which will not help you learn the healthy habits you need for lasting change. In the following, there are a few suggestions that can adapt your diet to the goal of increasing your metabolism rate.
Make Sure You Get Enough Protein
When you eat, your body needs more energy to digest your food, which temporarily increases your metabolism. This is known as the thermic effect of food, and it allows your body to absorb and process all the nutrients in the foods you eat correctly. Some foods increase this thermic effect more than others. For example, proteins increase your metabolic rate more than carbohydrates or fats. And eating protein can leave you feeling fuller longer and prevent overeating. Eating protein helps you maintain muscle mass as well as reduce the drop in your metabolic rate that often happens when you lose fat tissue. Try to eat at least 20-30 percent of every meal in protein calories for best results at keeping your metabolism high.
Start the day with Lean Protein
If you want to start your day with a healthy meal that sets your metabolic tone for the day, be sure that it includes protein, fiber, and plenty of nutrients. Your body will burn more calories when it has some protein to start the day, and you will keep your digestion running longer when you have high fiber in your breakfast. A small bowl of whole-grain oatmeal with some nuts and flaxseed is a great option and add in a small handful of berries for nutrients.
