5 Uncomplicated Guidelines to Enhance Your Metabolism
February 8, 2010 by TreadmillsCenter
#1 Don’t Forget Breakfast
The morning mealtime boosts your metabolism and helps to avert overeating afterward in the day. A cup of coffee does not count – the caffeine and additional sugar may give you a little bit of energy and curb your appetite for a little despite the fact that it is certain to back fire into extreme hunger and you could be much more likely to eat too much later. The first meal of the day should consist of both complex carbohydrates like whole grain (granola or oatmeal), along with some protein and fat (low-fat yogurt or milk), will keep your energy levels constant and hunger in check.
#2 Eat more often
Get into the habit of dining every three to four hours or at atleast four times daily. Eating regularly stabilizes blood sugal levels, while blood sugar drops too low you would like to eat…a lot. By keeping your blood sugar stable you will be able to have power over your desire for food and keep you metabolic rate high. When you go several hours without eating your body will counteract by slowing your metabolism down to conserve energy…this result hurts your weight loss efforts.
#3 Eat protein at each meal
Protein will help to moderate your desire for food, it takes more energy and time to process, as a result you will be full a longer time than when you eat carbohydrates alone. Evidence shows that eating more protein is able to help you lose additional weight without cutting calories. Try these protein suggestions: turkey on whole wheat; hummus and pita; vegetarian chili; fruit and nuts; or protein snack bars which should contain 12 or more grams of protein.
#4 Don’t Snack
Many of us grab a snack for fast energy once we are feeling tired. But do not exchange true hunger with exhaustion. If you are feeling exhausted go for a 15-20 minute rapid walk. This will lift your heart rate and provide you a boost of energy. Follow it up with a generous glass of chilled water. If you are truly hungry have a snack that contains complex carbs and protein like; whole wheat crackers and peanut butter or cheese.
#5 Consume sufficient calories for your body’s needs
Eating too few calories will slow your metabolism down the same exact way eating too infrequently does. If you choose to drop the pounds, don’t cut your calories too radically. Instead, cut out some of the unnecessary foods in your diet plan – extra calories in things like soda, juice, packaged goods or candy. Processed foods are more often than not extremely high in fat and calories and very low in nutrients, minerals and fiber.
