No Comment Rev up that Metabolism! VroomVroom! My women’s health mag came the other day. Couldn’t be happier as I needed a new routine.
There’s more to boost your metabolism without sweating gallons at the gym. Hopefully some of these little tips will help.
The most important thing you can do to boost your metabolism is eating a great breakfast, everyday, when you wake up. By eating something full of protein will help make you feel fuller longer, as well as give you more energy to run off of. Try preparing an omelet or oatmeal with berries.
You can drink coffee! yayaya. All those stories about staying off the java has its ups and downs. Yes, too much of it can be an overload, but having a cup in the morning doesn’t hurt a thing.
Brown bag it to work. Prepare a healthy meal of good fats and protein and skip the restaurant lines, fast food courts, etc. Do you use your lunch break and eating out as an excuse to get out of the office? Well take your lunch down to the Charles River and Boston Commons and have a “you time” or meet a friend for a mini picnic.
Drink Green Tea! Follow the example of the Chinese and Japanese. Tea contains a plant compound called ECGC which burns fat. Drink 2-4 cups a day, hot.
When you work out, add some intervals. This mixes things up and keeps your body guessing. Running with walking, sprints with jog, circuit training with added sprints, cycling intervals. It all works.
Eat fish for dinner. Healthy fats tell your brain that you’re full as well as help build muscles.
Get sleep.
Speeding your metabolism = more calories burned = healthier and fitter you!
Have your say!
