While going through my "The eat-clean diet book" I came across these extremely amazing tips for speeding up your metabolism. I wanted to share because like me im always looking to learn more and more about health and fitness. If you dont have this book def pick it up, also has some amazing recipes. Enjoy
1. Water Water Water. Hydrate yourself with water to encourage optimal bodily function and speed up the metabolism.
2. Eat a palm sized seriving of protein along with complex carbohydrates every two to three hours. That means six meals a day, not three squares.
3. Burn fat efficiently by adding essential fatty acids like flaxseed and unsaturated oils to the diet.
4. Fiber fills you up, sustaining you for longer than foods without it. Certain foods like flaxsee, wheat germ, and bran stimulate lazy bowels.
5. Vitamins and minerals complement a clean diet, protecting against deficiencies and boosting the immune system.
6. Dont go past the point of hunger. Skipping meals triggers a starvation response in the metabolism, making it slow down. Eating clean foods frequently sustains a highly charged metabolic rate.
7. Each meal should include four- or five-ounce portion of lean protein from chicken, turkey, egg whites, pork tenderloin or white fish sources.
8. Suger is white posion, sending the metabolism into a slow tailspin. All simple sugars - refined sugars- must be avoided to keep the metabolism burning quickly.
9. Complex carbohydrates from fruits and vegitables satisfy the needs of an active body. Each meals should include generous servings.
10. Certain foods have a high glycemic index. This means they induce a similar negative effect on metabolism to eating sugar. Rice cakes, carrots, potatoes, and fruit juices have a high glycemic index and should be consumed in moderation.
