The rate of your body’s metabolism will determine whether you will reduce weight fast or not. The faster the metabolic rate of your body, the faster you will be able to burn calories and shed fats. If you want that to happen you have to know what type of foods you have to eat in order to speed up your metabolic rate. But for now let’s focus on the types of foods that can greatly reduce the speed of your metabolism.
Number one on the list is refined sugar. You can acquire it mostly from sweets such as candies, cakes, chocolates and cookies. Not only can these sweets destroy your teeth, they can also do serious damage to the way your metabolism functions. Too much sugar intake causes your blood sugar levels to rise and the result is slower metabolism. Fruits are good substitute for your usual ice cream dessert.
The second worst enemy of your metabolism is processed foods. You will not have a hard time identifying them since you may probably have lots in your food cabinet. I suggest you totally eliminate them from your diet. Processed foods are rich in Trans fats and chemical preservatives but and are very low in nutritional value. Aside from slowing down your metabolism they also give you a higher risk for cancer diseases.
Fried chicken and French fries are probably two of your most favorite meals. You may not know it but fried foods (especially deep fried ones) are super rich in Trans fats that can put you at a higher risk for heart diseases. If you really want to eat fried foods, just make sure you don’t use the same oil every time when cooking.
White breads are very high in sugar too, that means eating them can also cause your sugar levels to rise. Whole wheat is a better choice than white bread since it is more nutritious. White bread on the other hand has little nutritional value because during processing, important nutrients like dietary fibers and B vitamins are removed.
You probably know this by now but let me remind you again, alcohol is bad for your health. When taken occasionally it may give you certain benefits but when abused it can give you serious health problems. It slows down metabolism resulting fats to build up easily on certain parts of your body. Always remember that in everything you do, whether you eat or drink, do it in moderation.
