So lets be honest with everyone. There isn’t really some fancy way to boost your metabolism. GASP!
Yes I know that sounds horrible that I said that. Metabolism boosting is kind of a catchall word for several things.
For example the only way to ACTUALLY boost your metabolism is to gain more muscle or to alter your thyroid or hormones like leptin sensitivity,
which is never a good idea. I know weight lifters who have gotten into trouble by taking thyroid meds to cut more.
how can you really boost your metabolism?
You can hack your body and let you think that you’ve gotten some good ol’metabolic changes.
For example regulate your sugar intake, one of the biggest problems with our bodies is that we get too much food and WAY too much sugar.
When your body gets sugar it’s told to store it in fat if it goes beyond the regular blood sugar levels. Then you feel crappy because your insulin has taken all of the sugar and stored it into fat. YIKES.
So watch your sugar and next, eat smaller more frequent meals.
Not because it boosts your metabolism but it gives your body a constant supply of energy and therefore maintains better blood sugar levels.
From a holistic approach, it also provides perhaps more energy. We retain water when we aren’t getting proper water,
so when you do start drinking water you can drop up to 10 lbs simply by drinking water.
Its kindof like a used car lot. When do you think a car lot would expand? When its making 100,000 a month or when it makes 5,000?
Its kindof obvious, and when will it spend more on advertising and sales people and more stock? When it feels it has a healthy flow of cash.
That maybe the best way to look at your body, frequent smaller meals gives the body the ‘paradise’ hack and you can really find your metabolism boost from there.
Of course there is a whole list of very delicious vegetables and herbs that can help your body.
Some actually alter the way your genes react. yes I’m serious, and its completely crazy.
