Additional natural
ways to increase your metabolism (cont.)
Eat six
(6) small meals a day
I know this
sounds all wrong but I am going to paint a little picture for you
to help you grasp this concept. Your body is a very adaptable
machine that is going to adjust itself to survive as efficiently
as possible. If you only eat one meal a day, large or small, your
body will make adjustments according to your current caloric
intake. In other words, if you are only eating once a day your
body will want to store calories as fat so that it has an ample
supply of energy to live off of before the next feeding. The less
you eat the less your body is going to burn therefore slowing down
your metabolism.
Now, that
doesn’t mean you can eat six servings of fast food or junk
throughout the day and lose weight. You need to live on a
well-balanced diet that is full of protein, fruits and vegetables
and good carbohydrates (yams, brown rice, oat meal, etc…). Does
this mean you have to give up junk food and sweets? Nope, this
leads us into our next step.
Change diet later in day
As your day
progresses you will want to shift your diet from the more complex
carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes to more fibrous carbohydrates
such as broccoli and other vegetables. The fibrous carbohydrates
take longer to burn and you will not have to worry about spiking
your insulin levels before you go to bed. Once exception to this
rule is if you are working out in the evenings. In this case you
will need to take an adequate amount of carbohydrates for your
workout.
*Note: A
good diet program should be designed for each individual. I would
recommend consulting with a good nutritionist to be put on a diet
program that works for you. I recommend you checkout
