what foods speed up metabolism?
925142
Eat little and often - there's evidence that eating small, regular meals throughout the day, rather than one or two large meals, may help to keep your metabolism ticking over. You can also try eating plenty of protein-rich foods but choose low-fat protein foods such as lean meat, skinless chicken and low-fat dairy products.Plus try swapping normal tea for green tea as there's evidence that it contains antioxidants that speed up metabolism.\nApart from your diet you could try saunas as being very hot is also thought to boost metabolism by about 20 percent and just get active - it's a sure-fire way to increase the amount of muscle you have, which in turn will speed up your metabolism.

increase your metabolism by exercising regularly, eating more meals but smaller portion, increase your lean muscle tissue by doing weight and resistance training. building more muscles can help burn body fat 24/7. the results dont really come THAT fast. fast weight loss is normally due to water loss from the body.

You need to eat small meals high in protein. You should try to space it out so about every 3 hours you're having a snack. Peanuts, protein bars, trail mix, oatmeal, chicken and brown rice are all some good options. And drink lots of water. This will speed up your metabolism and kick start everything. Try to get in a gallon a day. I know it sounds like alot but this will help tremendously.

Do not reduce food intake. Eat 6 small meals of healthy food (Fruits, vegetables, low fat, no sugar) a day. Exercise. Combine cardio/aerobic with strength training/anerobic exercises. Building muscles will increase your metabolism because the muscles need more energy and the cardio will help burn fat by increasing your heart rate and O2 consumption. The 6 small meals will help because your body will know it is getting enough nutrients and won't go into starvation/storage mode. When you skip meals your metabolism slows down and your body tries to hold on to everything it can, not knowing when it will get more nutrients. When you eat on a regular schedule, your body does not store as much and you tend to lose a little weight.

u dont have to ever deprive urself from food, it is easier to eat more, but the right kinds of food....you would do something like this:\neat 5 to 6 smaller meals a day, 2 of the meals should b protein drinks, the other meals should consist of\nprotein: egg whites, chicken, tuna, fish, steak\ncomplex carbs: brown rice, yams, whole wheat breads\nveggies: asparagus, green beans, broccolie, other green veggies\nmix and match a protein for every meal, and for the first 3 meals eat carbs with it and your last meals eat just veggies with ur protein...key is to eat protein with all your meals...and dont forgett to eat healthy fats such as olive oil, peanut butter, flaxseed oils, omega 3s and drink alot of water throughout the day...to speed up your metabolism sip on green tee from the time u wake up untill u fall asleep!

There are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism first.  \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes.  \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder.  Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat.  You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source it also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

Drink green tea every morning because it will give a metabolism boost and only eat small meals through out the day limiting sugars and carbohydrates.  Big meals and fasting will only slow your metabolism and make you gain more weight in the long run

Dont TRY to get in 30 min a day, DO get in 30 min a day.  No matter what you do for a living/daily, you ALWAYS have 30 min somewhere in your day.  Even if it means getting up 30 min early in the morning.  \n\nTo increase your metabolism, first make sure it's working all the time.  Have 8 full oz of water first thing when you wake up.  That will make you hungry, so make sure you have good protein in your breakfast (I have eggs, you can also do nuts).  Make sure you eat every 2-4 hours and make sure it's something small.  An apple, banana, yogurt, etc.  Stick with fresh fruits and veggies for your snacks if you can.  Make certain youre drinking 64 oz of water per day because you feel hungry less often and cut calories easily that way.  I fill two 32 oz water bottles at the beginning of the day to make sure I drink it all.  It's easy to lose track of a glass here and there.  \n\nGood luck!

There's a diet that is supposed to boost your metabolism. You eat 900 calories one day, 1200 the next, 1800 the next and repeat. Or something like that. You might try searching the internet to see if you can find the details of it. Sorry I don't remember the name.

#1- DO NOT DO THE SOUTHBEACH DIET.  You're basically starving yourself and it will make your metabolism slow to a crawl.\nWhat you need to do is jump start your metabolism and kick it in high gear.\nCritique on your meals:\n-Too many starchy, high sugar foods.  Not enough fiber in your diet.  Eating carbs is fine, but try to make them high in fiber and low in sugar.  Where is the protein?  Too much saturated fats (doughnuts, fried rice, muffins).\n\nHere's what your meals should look like(each with 2 examples):\n\n-Breakfast: 1)Whole wheat cereal/bagel, low fat/skim milk\n2)2 egg whites, whole wheat toast, glass of milk\n\n-Lunch: 1) Grilled chicken breast(no skin), brown rice, veggies\n2) Grilled tuna sandwich, salad w/light REGULAR(not low fat) dressing, water/diet soda\n\n-Snack: 1) 1 serving of fruit (apple, orange), but something with fiber\n2) 1 serving of almonds/peanuts\n\n-Dinner- 1)Grilled steak, veggies, brown rice\n2) Turkey sandwich (skimp on the mayo) w/lettuce, glass of milk\n\nEating smaller meals every 2-3 hours speeds up your metabolism.  Exercise is very important for healthy living.  Take up a football (soccer in U.S.) or basketball as a hobby.\n\n-Finally, you're ONLY 15yrs old.  Don't worry so much because you're still young.  Just stay active and eat healthy and eventually you will grow out of it.

Try eating several small, healthy meals throughout the day and remember that of those meals, breakfast is the most important - it jump starts your metabolism.  The best thing you can do, though, is excercise!

Metabolism is the amount of calories your body burns to maintain itself and perform all its functions.\n\nThere are a few techniques to speed it up:\n\n1. Exercise!  When we exercise, our bodies require more energy and our metabolism increases in order to supply it\n\n2. Increase your lean muscle mass by doing weight training.  The addition of muscle mass on an individual will cause an increase in the number of calories that are utilized at rest.\n\n3. Eat regularly just smaller portions.  An ideal diet would be 3 healthy meals with healthy snacks in between.  It's good to take in around 1500-2200 calories a day for women, and 1800-2500 a day for men depending on your Age, Weight, and Energy needs. The idea is to eat frequently to prevent hunger pangs, and to keep your energy levels consistent which in turn will increase and speed up your metabolism.
