Boost your metabolism five ways to lose weight

September 19th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

You already know that exercise boosts your metabolism, of course. So do some type of aerobic activity every day, even if it’s just walking up a few flights of stairs a few times a day at work, or taking a brisk walk on your lunch hour.  If you do aerobic exercise, your metabolism remains higher for up to eight hours after you finish exercising.
If you exercise enough to put on more muscle, so much the better. Building up muscle can boost your metabolism by ten percent or more, which will generally mean you can eat a few hundred more calories a day. But when you’re dieting you need all of the help that you can get, so here are some ways to boost that metabolism and burn those calories off faster.
1.) Magnesium: Magnesium is necessary to keep your metabolism functioning properly. If you are not getting enough magnesium in your diet, your metabolism may slow down. (When you buy vitamin supplements, never take more than the recommended dose, however.)
2.) Vitamin B is another vitamin that is essential for boosting your metabolism. B-12 in particular is known to give an energy boost and increase your metabolic rate/
3.) Spicy foods. Studies show that eating foods containing ingredients like black pepper, ginger, and chili peppers can boost your metabolism by as much as 8 percent for several hours after you eat them.
4.) Green Tea not only boosts your metabolism, studies show that it has health benefits including acting as an anti-oxidant and protecting against heart disease.
5.) Water. Dehydration causes your metabolism to slow down. Even mild dehydration can cause your metabolism to slow down as much as three percent, in much the same way that cutting back on calories does. When your body is deprived of water it slows down all of its metabolic functions. Drinking water not only fills you up, it keeps your metabolism functioning efficiently.

Boost your metabolism: get more sleep and lose weight

If you’re overweight, you may be putting on weight because you’re not getting enough sleep.

“Not snoozing enough affects appetite and metabolism” reports that:

The amount and quality of sleep affects hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism. A study at the University of Chicago found that participants who slept only four hours a night for two nights had an 18 percent decrease in leptin and a 28 percent increase in ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone that suppresses appetite by affecting how full and satisfied we feel after eating. Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite.

Metabolism: your liver could be making you overweight

July 30th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

You may be overweight because of your metabolism: your liver isn’t producing enough enzymes. This means that you’re constantly hungry, and you overeat, because you’re trying to get the nutrition you need.

“Metabolic Defect In Liver That Can Lead To Obesity Found By Monell Researchers” states that:

Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center have identified a genetically-transmitted metabolic defect that can lead to obesity in some individuals. The defect involves decreased production of liver enzymes needed to burn fat and may help to explain why some people become obese while others remain thin.

If you feel that you have this metabolic disorder, go to see your doctor.

Boost Your Metabolism: Eat Small Meals, Eat Often

May 26th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

It’s important to be aware of your metabolism when you’re trying to lose weight, and to “boost” it if you can. With a higher metabolism, your body will work more efficiently. You’ll have more energy, and you will lose weight naturally, as your body burns your fat cells.

Metabolism is the rate at which your body converts fuel (the food you eat) into energy. When you’re overweight, your metabolism slows down. This is because an overweight body is composed of more fat cells than muscle cells, and fat cells need only one eighth the amount of fuel that muscle cells require.

Eat More, And Eat More Often And Beware Of Plateaus

One of the easiest ways to boost your metabolism when you’re losing weight is to ensure that you’re eating enough. Small, frequent meals at regular intervals keep your metabolism burning throughout the day and even while you’re sleeping. There’s a danger of plateaus, however.

If you’ve been on diets, you’re aware of the plateau effect. When you’re in a plateau, it can last for weeks: you stay on your diet, you’re definitely not eating more - in fact you can be eating less - and yet your body doesn’t lose a single ounce over weeks. It stays at the same weight.

A plateau occurs when your metabolism is converting the food you eat into energy, and muscle. Although it seems as if you’re not losing weight, your metabolism can be converting fuel into muscle, without you being aware of it.

This is a good thing - muscles use more fuel (food) than fat cells, so gaining muscle is great, even though no weight loss is showing on the scales.

The danger of plateaus is that you will start to eat less, hoping to kickstart your body into weight loss. However, what happens is that your body goes into starvation mode, slowing your metabolism.

Eat - And Lose Weight Because You Boost Your Metabolism

This means that you must EAT - even though you don’t seem to be losing weight. Eating more, and more often, ensures that your metabolism keeps doing its job. The fact that you’re eating is boosting your metabolism: your body must convert the fuel into energy, and it boosts your metabolism when you do this.

So ensure that you have several small meals right throughout the day, with some protein at each meal. This will keep your metabolism high, and not only will you lose weight, but you’ll look and feel great too.

Increase Your Metabolism And Lose Weight

May 24th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

It’s very frustrating to be overweight and to eat less than other members of your family, and much less than some of your friends, only to find that you’re nevertheless still gaining weight. If this is happening to you, the first step is to have a thyroid test.

Assuming that your doctor gives you the all-clear, you can take some simple steps which will help you to increase your metabolism. With an increased metabolism, you will be able to eat well, and still lose weight - and you won’t be hungry, nor will you crave fatty foods or sweets.

Exercise And Build Muscle To Burn More Calories

Exercise, and particularly weight-bearing exercise, is important because the more muscles you have, the more calories you will burn - muscles are eight times more metabolically active than fat. So if you increase your muscle mass, you will burn calories 24 hours a day.

If you don’t want to go to a gym, there’s a lot you can do at home to increase your muscle mass. Walking will build muscle, as will lifting weights. Even a few minutes a day lifting weights will build your muscles substantially over time. Don’t worry that you will build too much muscle: this is impossible unless you lift for hours a day, rather than minutes.

Take time to stretch before lifting weights, and afterwards, so you don’t injure your tendons, the fibers which connect muscle to bone.

Eat Regularly To Stoke The Fires Of Metabolism

When you want to lose weight, it seems logical that you should eat less. Unfortunately, when you start eating less, your body slows its metabolism. So eat regularly, at least three or four small, protein-rich meals a day. Ideally, try to eat six snack-sized meals a day: this increases your metabolism when you combine it with regular exercise.

Try this new routine: exercise daily, as well as lifting weights for a few minutes. Eat several small meals a day as well. You’ll be shocked that you will actually be eating more than you usually do, as you lose weight. You’ll never feel that you’re on any kind of diet - it’s your increased metabolism that is helping you to lose weight.
