Visualize your metabolism as your engine…as a car or truck uses up gas, so does your metabolism burn calories to be used in the body. When your metabolism is working faster, the greater calories you are going to burn and you will undoubtedly lose extra weight along the way.
Look, as we grow older it’s natural that our body’s metabolism decelerates. So, how will you maintain your metabolism moving upward and ultimately keep the unwanted weight off?
Sadly, there isn’t any way to assemble an explanation that will be crystal clear inside of a brief blog post other than to say that there are numerous things that factor into the role your metabolism takes on as part of your potential to shed pounds, coupled with your age and how active you are.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to craft and explanation that will be clear in a short blog post except to say that there are a number things that factor into the role that your metabolism plays in your ability to lose weight, including your age and how active you are.
If you don’t eat, your metabolism will get slower as your system thinks it needs to protect your fat supplies for your survival. Seriously it’s just an innate survival mechanism that you have. Some people have to work harder as compared to other folks to speed up the task…believe me it took a little while for my figure to get to the point that it is in now.
If you don’t eat, your metabolism gets slower because your body thinks that it needs to protect your fat reserves for survival. Really it’s a genetic survival mechanism that we all have. Some people will have to work harder than others to speed up the process…believe me it took a while for my body to get to the point that it is now. Of course there will always be those folks that drive you nuts cause they just watch their diet and exercise very little to stay skinny as a rail…then there’s the rest of us that have to work our buns off!!!
To effectively “fire up” your current metabolism, bear in mind the following tips:
* Don’t skip meals!! It really is best to take in half a dozen smaller sized meals per day than to skip a major daily meal — particularly breakfast. I drink Shakeology right off the bat each and every morning, for getting my body fueled to the max prior to my work outs!!
Interval training (combining cardio and weight training) are good for burning calories and also to speed up your own fat burning capacity.
Drink plenty of water to ensure that your system can rid itself of the toxins that pulls down your metabolism to a lethargic level. You’ll be shocked about your higher energy level merely from consuming more water.
* Tone your muscles. Use weights or resistance bands to firm and tone your muscles, ridding yourself of fat and replacing it with lean muscles.
* Don’t eat just before bed time. Give your body a chance to take care of excess calories before it slows down for sleep.
* You have to lower your alcohol intake. A glass of wine is okay occasionally but you don’t have to drink the whole box of Franzia…lol!! Alcohol is like a “Yield” sign for your metabolism. Keep it to a minimum. Remember that alcohol is basically pure sugar.
Start working right now to rev-up your metabolism. Don’t forget, that after your metabolism boosts, you’ll be a lot happier with the your progress!!
