Power Boost Your Metabolism Into Maximum Weight Loss
How many times have you heard a person say they are overweight
because they have a slow metabolism? I hear it everyday!
Frustrated weight loss enthusiasts constantly blame a slow
metabolism for their weight woes. But is that really the case?
True, some people, genetically, have challenged metabolisms,
while most others use it as an excuse for why they can' t lose
weight.
Let's eliminate this excuse by firing up your metabolism to its
full genetic potential. While following your best weight loss
program, doesn't it make since to speed up your metabolism to
its greatest genetic potential possible?
There are certain tactics available to power boost your
metabolism. Some are lifestyle techniques, while others are
nutritional tricks. Before I list all of the metabolism boosting
tricks, let me explain exactly what metabolism is.
Metabolism is the way your body uses energy, as measured in
calories. One way the body uses calories as energy is to sustain
vital body functions like heart rate, cell development,
breathing, cell repair, and temperature control. This accounts
for up to 75% of the calories you burn daily. The other 25% of
metabolism is the result of physical activity, digestion and
absorption of food. The rate at which your body burns calories
is its metabolism.
The following tips below will help you increase your metabolism
to it greatest possible potential. However, please be aware that
the calories you take in and your activity level play a much
greater role in weight loss than metabolism alone. It is best to
go through the weight loss battle with your metabolism firing on
all cylinders.
Metabolism Boosting Tips and Tricks
1.Increase Your Physical Activity - This is no secret, but
really works!Individuals who exercise regularly burn more
calories and have more metabolically active, calorie burning
muscle mass than those who are less active. Cardiovascular
activity boosts metabolism by burning calories, while strength
training slows the metabolically active muscle loss in aging
people. Both of these activities have shown to increase
metabolism immediately after participating in the activity,
while the long term results of strength training help burn even
more calories 24 hours a day, even while sleeping.
I recommend doing 30 plus minutes of aerobic activity, 3 to 5
days per week, in addition to doing 2 short, 24 hour metabolism
boosting strength training sessions each week.
2. Protein Consumption - Some evidence suggests their is a
slight metabolic boosting power in higher protein diets versus
high carb, low protein diets. Please be aware that the
vast
majority of weight loss results from decreasing calories, and
increasing activity, not by changing the percentage of carbs
versus protein in your diet. Very high protein diets have shown
to cause potential health challenges.
3. Sleep - Getting 7+ hours of sleep each night may affect
hormones that regulate body weight and appetite. In a current,
rather large, ongoing study, people who slept less, have a
tendency to weight more.
4. Don't Skip Meals - It is important not to wait more than 5
hours between meals to eat. Waiting longer and skipping them has
a tendency to slow your metabolism down, and deprive you of
crucial energy. It is also important to rev up your metabolism
by breaking the fast at breakfast each and every morning to give
you energy, and prevent binging at later meals. Please note: It
is also always important to closely monitor your overall caloric
intake.
5. Weight Loss Supplements - Certain weight loss supplement
which contain a stimulus effect can slightly boost your
metabolism. Please note that I am not promoting weight loss
supplement to increase metabolism! Some supplements have
stimulant properties which increase metabolism by raising the
heart rate. Such pills can also produce unwanted side effects
like anxiety, heart palpations, elevated blood pressure, and
insomnia.
I recommend following the first 4 tips in order to tune up your
metabolisms engine so you are burning food at the highest rate
your body can possibly handle.
