How to Boost Your Metabolism Naturally – Infographic

Boost your metabolism naturally by making small changes to your diet and lifestyle

Fat storage may not just be because of poor eating habits, or something you may have done a lot of: Dieting. Particularly in the form of “crash dieting” (the #1 cause)…

Crash dieting/ chronic dieting can do a number on your metabolism. Crash diets can significantly decrease levels of important metabolic, fat-burning hormones after just 7 days of following a severely reduced calorie diet. According to a study conducted at Rockefeller University by world-renowned obesity researcher Dr. Rudolph Leibel, thyroid levels, drop by a whopping 38% after just 2 weeks of consuming a very low calorie diet.

Crash dieting may be the #1 cause of a SLOW metabolism but it is not the only cause. Many other factors can damage metabolism: nutrition habits, unhealthy toxins, hormones, stress and sleep deprivation. Fortunately, easy steps can be taken to reverse the trend, boost metabolism, increase fat burning and revitalize overall health.

What can you do when your metabolism has been negatively impacted and is not up to speed ?

When your metabolism is not in good shape it can easily cause excess fat storage and hunger. A slow metabolism will cause your belly to expand, while making it almost impossible for you to lose weight yet alone keep it off. On the other hand, with a fast metabolism working for you 24/7—automatically burning calories both day and night—achieving and maintaining your ideal body becomes an extremely easy task.

Here’s a combination of crucial factors that create metabolic balance and will ultimately end your struggle with a slow, beaten-down metabolism…

5 foods that rev up your metabolism…

The problem with many ‘weight loss programs’ is that they focus on what you should NOT do (restrictions) instead of on what you should do. So, here are some foods that rev up your metabolism for easy, lasting fat loss…

1. Lemon Juice

A few tablespoons of lemon juice just before or during a meal (add it to a glass of water, or squeeze it onto your salad or your fish) may help lower your blood sugar response from that meal.

This delicious beverage, coconut milk, goes great in coffee, on cereal, mix into recipes and poured into a tall glass. Coconut oil, with Its unique combination of fatty acids that promote fat loss, goes straight to the liver from the digestive tract, where it’s used as a quick source of energy.

The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as you commonly find in vegetable oils. Coconut oil contains a lot of ‘medium chain fatty acids’, which are metabolized differently than other saturated fats containing ‘long-chain fatty acids’ (meats, dairy, eggs, palm oil).

Animal fats and seed oils such as palm oil, in which long chain fatty acids are especially abundant, increase the rigidity of membranes. But Medium-chain fatty acids turn into so-called ketone bodies, which can improve brain function and have therapeutic effects on several brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

There are two PubMed studies, one in women and the other in men, showing that coconut oil led to reduced amounts of belly fat (50, 51)

Kefir, more nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt, has a rich source of probiotics which allows you to have a healthy digestive system. The sour taste of ‘sour cultured foods’ can also help curb your sweet tooth while feeding the good bacteria in your gut. Bad gut flora = you store more fat and more calories from the foods you eat. Kefir also supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins. Wow.
