10 EASY ways to BOOST your Metabolism

  1. Eat breakfast EVERY DAY! It doesn't have to be a lot, but should have both a protein & a carb, like peanut butter on whole grain toast, an egg white omelet with some Eziekel bread or a Shakeology smoothie.
  2. Eat frequent, smaller meals all day. This keeps your metabolism "furnace" going & also prevents binging because you are starving.
  3. Be active! Exercise regularly. Our bodies are meant to move. We need at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy.
  4. Incorporate weight training into your workout, at least a couple times a week. Muscle Burns Fat! Lift weights, do body weight exercises, or do exercise programs like ChaLEAN Extreme or P90X.
  5. Take a Fish Oil or other Omega-3 fatty acid supplement everyday.
  6. Green tea really is a great way to boost metabolism. Drink at least 2-3 cups a day.
  7. Drink milk or have other forms of calcium in your diet. Organic dairy products are the best forms of dairy to use to avoid chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics & infections in your milk.
  8. The only beverage your body really needs is WATER! Make sure to drink as many ounces as 1/2 your body weight in pounds.
  9. Sleep is extremely important to losing weight & boosting your metabolism. When we don't get enough sleep, our body craves carbohydrates, which we end up eating, to compensate for the lack of sleep.
  10. RELAX! Stress releases cortisol, which is part of the fight or flight syndrome. It ends up resulting in extra belly fat, which is the most dangerous form of fat we can have in our bodies.
