7 Tips to Speed Up Metabolism



  1. Step up your exercise routine.  Be more active, step up your activities do more cardio and interval training and toning as this will certainly get your metabolism going.
  2. Green Tea is another great way to speed up your metabolism.  Green tea is a thermogetic drink.  It raises the body temperature slightly which in turn speeds up your metabolism.It also contains caffeine which is a diuretic and will also help to speed up your metabolism.
  3. Eat regular meals. Ensure you space out your meals and eat 6 - 8 regular meals per day, this will help to keep your blood sugar stable. There is medical evidence that suggests eating small regular meals throughout the day, rather than one or two large meals, may help to keep your metabolism ticking over.
  4. If you love spicy foods, then why not add a chilli or two.  Again research shows that chillies heats up the body temperature which in turn will kick start your metabolism and keep it ticking over for a couple of hours after you have eaten.
  5. Eating proteins will ensure that you don't slide back into eating cakes and biscuits, and will also protein burns off pretty easily. 
  6. Getting into a sauna, hot tub or steam room will also get your metabolism running, not only will you lose sweat , but the heat will help to break down fat. 
  7. The opposite is also true, to take a dip into a chilled pool, again the body will try to heat itself up and as a consequence your metabolism speeds up.

Stuck on Losing Weight?

Two quarters in, and how are your plans for losing weight goin?  Or have you given up like 80% of those who started the new year with weight loss plans and expectations.

Don't get disheartened, weight loss is a long process even if it is only a few pounds you want to lose, in fact the less weight you have to lose the harder it is to lose.  So don't beat yourself up if you are down to the last 10 pounds or so.  It will take even more persistance that usual to get it shifted.






So what can you do if your weight loss slows down.  Here are some tips which have helped both myself and my clients in the past:
  • Cut down on calorie intake and increase your level exercise 
  • come off the weight loss program for at least  3-5 days, then go back on again with a vengence
  • do a mini detox for 5 days cut out bread, daffeine, fizyzy stuff, alcohol, starches, wheat and dairy.
  • step up your exercise regime more toning, working out with weights rather than cardio type exercise,  and drink more water and fluids, burning more calories will kick start any sluggish metabolism.
  • Increase your protein intake, increasing protein reduces the carbs urge, and therefore makes you feel fuller longer.  Try our natural whey protein supplement.
  • add more fibre to your diet - this will help to get rid of more fat.  Try our Fibre and Herbs supplement.
  • drink more water, sometimes not having enough water inhibits weight loss.
  • are you eating the right number of calories? If you are eating too less than what your body needs, it will try to hold on to as much of your body fat as it can for energy and body function purposes,therefore you may need to eat more calories. It is always important to adjust your calories with the weight loss.
