Most
tips on increasing your metabolism include the basic tips.
Tips like adding
exercise or eating breakfast and of course the always mentioned
drinking water are not discussed in this article.
These tips are not the common ones you can find just about anywhere.
Instead, these are the less known ways to boost your metabolism.
All of these are great natural metabolism boosters and will help
increase your basal
metabolic rate and rev up your metabolism.
Other metabolism booster suggestions may include taking
supplements or
pills or even eating metabolism booster foods.
But
there are some tips to increase your metabolism that you may not have
heard of yet.
Did
you know getting the right amount of sleep can help? Reducing stress is
another one you may not heard of or how about fidgeting or breathing
exercises. All these can help you rev up your metabolic rate.
Keep reading to learn why these can help.
Do you have a friend that is constantly bouncing their leg up and down? Or perhaps they talk with their hands or tap their fingers on the table. Is this friend one of your "skinny" friends?
I've always called these people my "nervous" friends and yes, they are all skinning. Who would have thought being fidgety was a way to boost metabolism naturally.One common mistake many people make when they start a weight loss program is they take in too few calories.
We've all heard
that
you have to reduce calories to lose weight. So the natural
direction one would think in order to lose weight fast, is to cut even
more calories.
While in theory, this may make sense, in actuality
it's one of the biggest mistakes and the most common reason for a slow
metabolism.
You have probably read many articles on the right
foods to eat and the wrong things to drink and have probably read many
articles on calorie
intake as well.
You may have even used a
weight
loss calculator or two. So you think you've got the
right
foods and the right calories, but you are still not losing weight.
Remember, calculating the proper BMR and calorie intake is
not an
exact science. So, adjust your calories by increasing them
slightly to see if this gets you on the losing end.
When a
person gets too few calories the body slows down the metabolism and
starts storing food as fat. Even though this one
may be hard
to accept, sometimes the best way to lose weight is to increase your
calorie intake.
