Foods
to Boost Metabolism Naturally Continued...
Here
are even more metabolism booster foods to get your
metabolic rate going. These are a great way to rev up your
metabolism naturally. That's right; no supplements or special
pills, just every day normal foods.
Spinach,
and
all veggies in general

Vegetables are a great source for low calorie foods that help satisfy
you and make you feel full. Veggies contain fiber, vitamins
and nutrients that help keep us healthy. Certain vegetables
also are great metabolism booster foods such as Broccoli and Spinach.
Spinach contains magnesium which has been known to boost the body’s fat
burning process. Other foods high in magnesium include peanut
butter, tofu, whole wheat bread and my favorite, dark chocolate.
Spinach is also high in potassium which aids weight loss by keeping the
body’s cells hydrated. If your cells are not sufficiently
hydrated, your metabolism will slow down. Other potassium
rich foods include bananas, honeydew and baked potatoes.

Apples,
Pears
These low calorie, high fiber fruits are why these are included on the
metabolism booster foods list. These fruits will give you a
satisfying sweet taste and help to keep you full longer due to the
lower calorie and higher fiber content than other fruits.
According to one study from the State University of Rio de Janeiro,
women who included apples and pears in their low calorie diet lost more
weight than the women who did not add fruit to their weight loss plan.
Water
Okay, so water is not a food but should be part of your daily
intake. Studies are now showing that water can also help to
boost your metabolism. Consume approximately 8 to 10 8oz
glasses a day.
Go
Nuts
If
you find yourself getting the post lunch munchies, try a handful of
nuts (about 20). This can help hold off the hunger until
dinner
time and keep you energized. Nuts have monounsaturated fats
which
studies have shown helps stimulate fat burning as well.
Say
No to
Alcohol
This
is a metabolism booster food, or should I say drink, no no.
Why?
Alcohol lowers your activity metabolism and can stimulate
your
appetite. Additionally too much alcohol tends to cloud your
mind
and in this state you can make the wrong choices like eating too much
of the wrong foods. |
Other
foods that can help you to become a healthier you and lose weight
include;
Garlic – Add garlic to flavor your foods but more importantly, it can
also help break down the fat.
Berries – Berries are filled with antioxidants and a great addition for
your healthy lifestyle.
Soybeans and Soy – These are a great source for lecithin, which is
believed to be a fat blocker preventing fat deposits. It also
helps break down the fats in your cells.
