How to Boost your Metabolism and LOSE WEIGHT

 


When people decide that it is time to take control of their health and fitness, they usually turn to exercise. Are you one of the girls that decides to start exercising again and heads to the gym to do 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill or elliptical with no results? That used to be me! I really did not GET the fact that exercise was only a small piece of the puzzle. The missing piece is that you CANNOT out exercise a bad diet. Now here is another problem. Many people decide they are ready for a change and then try something drastic like not eating at all or following an extremely low calorie diet that is not safe or sustainable.

I need to get something clear before we move on. Going all day without eating and then having a huge dinner is possibly the WORST thing that you can do if you are wanting to get healthy and fit! I would say that 80% of the women that come to me with 50-100 pounds to lose, only eat a few meals a day! They can't understand why they continue to gain weight when they are trying to lose and don't eat very often. These types of eating habits cause your metabolism to slow down which in turn makes it even harder for you to lose weight! When you do eat, especially if you're eating processed, unhealthy food, your body will hold on to what you consume not knowing when it will receive it's next fuel. Even if you are consuming healthy foods when you are eating, your weight lost consists of primarily water and muscle when you are at a severe calorie deficit. Muscle is good and is what burns fat!

Here are some small tips to start with. I'm sure you've heard them before, but I will say it again!

 1.)     Eat 5-6 small meals per day and drink WATER!

 2.)    Never go more than 3 hours without eating

 3.)    Keep meals CLEAN (unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy carbs)

 4.)    Incorporate a balance of strength training and cardio training into your weekly routine.

 5.)    Don't be afraid to lift weights!!!! It is EXTREMELY difficult for women to BULK like the hulk. The more muscle that you build, the more fat you will burn!

Don't let another year go by without getting in the best shape of your life! I know you can do this! If you are looking for the perfect home program and support network, click here for a FREE consultation!
