How to Speed up Your
Metabolism
By Fiona Gordon
|
• Don't skip breakfast. You will lose weight more quickly if
you have a bite to eat in the morning.
• Drink hot water with lemon
• Eat hot meals rather than cold. Your metabolism speeds up
very slightly when you eat and again if the food is hot.
• Do at least thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise,
five days a week. This will condition you to burn fat more
efficiently.
• Don't deprive your body of carbohydrates, no matter what
they say.
• You need carbs for energy and will feel terrible without
them.
• Wear a pedometer and see that you take 1,000 steps every
day.
• If you have a sit-down job, get up every hour and walk
around for five minutes or so.
• Dedicate two hours a week to weight training,
concentrating on the larger muscles. Every other day is
optimal.
