Boosting your metabolism and training it to be faster is possible. If you are looking to lose weight, boost your metabolism and burn fat than this article for you. In this article I'm going to tell you what is necessary in order to boost your metabolism and then how to re=train your body to maintain this faster metabolism.
First I am going to review common misconceptions about what you have to do to making your metabolism faster. Everyone thinks that you have to starve yourself in order to make your metabolism faster but this is not true. Everyone also thinks that you have to exercise at least an hour each and every day to boost your metabolism and this is not true. Quite a few people even think that they will find the secret methods to boosting your metabolism on the newest infomercials on television and this is also not sure.
Okay, now let's get to the truth.
In order to boost your metabolism you actually have to eat more. Yes, that is correct. You should be eating 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day. This will make your body know that you are not starving and that there is an abundance of food and nourishment. You see most people think that they have to starve themselves and only eat just one meal a day. In order to accomplish their weight loss goals. However, this is so far from the truth and it is totally wrong. When you are only eating one meal a day your body actually thinks that it is starving. And because of this your body will burn good lean healthy muscle for fuel in order to maintain your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and all the other organs of the body working properly.
There are also many systems going on within the body that need the proper fuel in order to continue working properly. And when your body is burning muscle for fuel it will store everything that you are eating as fat. So by only eating one meal a day you are actually putting your health in danger and making yourself fatter.
The proper way to boost and retrain your metabolism is to eat 5 - 6 small meals per day. You should start eating within the first 30 - 60 minutes of waking up and this first meal of the day should include good quality protein. Normally people eat eggs for breakfast but you should think outside of the box and have other good quality and healthy types of protein like beef, chicken and even fish for breakfast.
To keep the diet somewhat familiar to the three meals a day protocol that we all usually follow; I do recommend that people have a breakfast within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking up and that they also have a good healthy lunch and dinner. But in addition I recommend 2 to 3 good healthy snacks as well. So after breakfast you should be eating every 3 to 4 hours. So you will have breakfast and then a snack, lunch and then a snack and then dinner and even a snack after dinner depending how late you go to bed. Each of your meals and snacks should contain a good quality protein, lots of vegetables and a good healthy fat. It is okay to have good healthy carbohydrates but you would be best served by eating them in moderation.
Remember to keep your body hydrated and usually we suggest that people drink 64 ounces of water a day. It's also a good idea to take high quality vitamins and minerals.
Make sure that you eat lots of vegetables as they are the key to good health and when your body is healthy it does not hold onto body fat.
So there you have it, the necessary steps to boosting your metabolism and training it to be faster.
