Losing weight happens by burning more calories each day than you
CONSUME. An increase metabolism will allow you to burn more
calories per day and cause you to lose weight, assuming you're following a healthy
diet.
Naturally boosting your metabolism comes from doing everyday tasks that
will increase your metabolism, not by diet pills or potion. The weight
loss industry makes millions every year by taking advantage of
consumer's lack of basic nutritional knowledge.
Most herbs will not lead to an increase metabolism, and those that do contain an
amphetamine-like substance that literally puts you on a
"high." Don't be fooled, the only real way to an increase
metabolism will take effort and planning. We have a few suggestions that
will help:
Avoid diets that are TOO low in
calorie - Diets that are 1000 calories are less may help you lose weight
at first, but overly restrictive diets lead to binging. They also slow
your metabolism because your body goes into "survival mode" to
conserves calories. Rapid weight loss will consist of water with very
little loss of fat. Weight is quickly gained back because more fluid
than fat was lost.

-
Don't skip meals - Your body is the furnace and food are the logs. DON'T
let your furnace (metabolism) burn low. Eat nutritious snacks
between meals. The most popular meal to skip is breakfast. DON'T DO
IT. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it
gives you energy to perform important tasks and it helps prevent
snacking on junk food later in the morning.
-
Take
frequent walking breaks - The more you move around during the
day, the more calories you burn. If possible, take a 5 minute
walking break around your work area (inside or out) every hour.
-
Take the
longest route - We naturally take the path of least
resistance. When walking, take the longest route. This applies to
anywhere you go. If you work at a big company and must frequently
walk to other
buildings, use that time to put in some extra walking. The more
active you are, the easier losing weight will become.
-
Exercise
for 30 minutes or more - The body starts to dip into it's fat
reserve after 30 minutes of continuous exercise. Your exercise pace
should be enough for you to talk but not sing.
