5 Tips How To Increase My Metabolism For Weight Loss
The two biggest questions in most dieters minds are "How big a portion should I eat to lose weight" "How many calories should I be eating to lose weight"
Most calorie and portion control systems imposed by most diets take into account your weight and how tall you are. Occasionally these diets will take into account the level of your activity.
You are then giving a limit per day that you are supposed to follow and in a perfect world you will lose weight. This is a good theory but why is it not working? Why are there SO many people following this exact method but not losing weight?
The one CRICITAL factor that is being left out is that these diets are not factoring in someone's metabolism. Have you ever had a friend (and I know you have) who eats like crap, exercises very little and STILL stays skinny!? From personal experience it's one of the most frustrating things to watch. You almost don't wanna be friends with them! At least that's how it was for me.
The truth is that it's quite ridiculous to follow a specific calorie limit each day, since every person has a different metabolism level.
Another reason why trying to follow a specific "daily calorie guideline" is futile is because your body doesn't burn calories based on your daily total. It burns them based on your meals? Your body doesn't know what a day is. It just knows when it eats.
All things being equal, someone that were to eat just ONE 2000 calorie meal per day would store more fat than someone that ate 4 500 calorie meals. There are many reasons for this that can't be explained here but the concept is important.
One of the best diets will not only alter your calorie intake each meal and day but also take advantage of your metabolism. Your OWN metabolism can burn fat better than anything else. That's the reason our friend stayed so thin eating anything and we couldn't! Our metabolism wasn't working as hard.
There are ways to speed up your metabolism. Without the help of a nutritionist or personal trainer it can be hard but here are a few tips.
1. Eat MORE meals not less. Instead of 2-3 larger meals take in 5-6 smaller meals.
2. This will take some practice and learning but ONLY eat till you're 80% full. When you are 80% full stop. You must learn to eat slower to be able to gauge this one.
3. If you are not currently but can exercise it will speed up your metabolism for fat loss.
4. Drink more water. This is the most abused rule. Aim for half your bodyweight in ounces.
