13 Metabolism Boosters – Lose Weight Without taking Pills

I just came across this cool article where they share 13 weight-loss strategies all based on improving your metabolism.

Each strategy is explained clearly & concisely, so you can make up your own mind which you’d prefer to put into practice. It’ll also give you a practical checklist to refer to later.

Check out the article below and let me know what you think.

You may have heard of many different ways to boost your metabolism.

Some of them are true, but some of them (as you likely have found out) are just [empty] claims to increase metabolism and don’t actually work. Specifically, any diet pill that says it will increase your metabolism. Not only are they expensive, but they can also be dangerous if consumed over certain periods of time.

Besides, there are plenty of natural, cheap ways to boost your metabolism without the use of pills!

You may want to boost your metabolism for weight loss, which is fine. Even if you aren’t looking to lose weight, however, speeding up your metabolism can actually improve your digestion of food because it won’t be sitting in your body; it will be quickly used for energy.

List: 13 Metabolism-based Weight-loss Strategies

1. Build muscle

2. Add cardio

3. Eat healthy

5. Drink water

6. Eat more

13. Eat fat

Build Muscle (#1)

This is one of the best proven ways to boost your metabolism naturally. Aside from genetics, body composition plays a major role in what your calorie burning capabilities are.

Having a body with strong healthy muscles requires more energy to maintain than a #body composed of mostly fat, thus muscles boost your metabolism significantly. This will permanently boost your metabolism, much unlike taking pills! Build up those muscles with strength training routines and maintaining a healthy protein intake for your needs.

Eat healthy (#3)

If you have ever heard of the raw food diet, you probably know that many people are thin and often consume 3,000 calories every day. Not all of them exercise, so that doesn’t explain why everyone who switches to that diet can eat so many calories without unnecessary weight gain.

 

• The reason why it makes sense is that eating an abundant amount of raw whole foods increases your metabolism a lot.

• In addition to raw food, spicy foods like cayenne have been shown to raise metabolism temporarily.

• Healthy fats like coconut oil and avocados are also said to speed up your metabolic rate.

Including some of these things in your diet would be a great place to start!

Sleep Well (#4)

This is often overlooked as a way to rev your metabolism, but it is so important! Getting enough sleep is significant, but getting high quality sleep is even more important.

First, making sure you sleep at least 6 hours every night will ensure your food is metabolized correctly, because your metabolism cannot function as well (like everything else in your body) when you are sleep-deprived. Now, ensuring the sleep is quality will have you waking up energized and refreshed instead of tired.

To get quality sleep, make sure you are relaxed before bed and no light can get in your room.

I will note that your metabolism slows down when you are actually sleeping, but getting a good night’s sleep will raise your metabolism during the day after.
