I Want to Increase my Metabolism
There are no secrets when it comes to weight loss. You need to eat right, drink plenty of water, and exercise with both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (weights) routines.
Let’s get the easy part out of the way and that is drinking plenty of water. Many experts agree that you should be consuming sixty-four ounces of water each day. That may sound like a lot but if you break it down over the course of your day it really isn’t. I recommend drinking twelve ounces of water with every meal (I’ll get to more on eating healthy in a moment) which will give you seventy-two ounces and that will be plenty for your body. Water is the ultimate nutrient (so to speak) for your body. It keeps your kidney’s functioning properly and keeps you hydrated to name a couple of things. It is very important to drink plenty of water.
The next thing you need to do is eat properly. It’s not rocket science as you will soon see but it does take self control and discipline. From now on you will eat six smaller meals throughout the day, spread out about one meal every two and a half to three hours. Doing this keeps your metabolism running all day long and just as importantly your body will be receiving a fresh supply of quality nutrients.
Each meal should consist of equal portions of proteins, carbohydrates and green vegetables. A portion size will be the size of your clenched fist. This takes the measuring and guess work out of the equation. Quality protein sources include, cottage cheese, lean meats, chicken breasts, egg whites and egg substitutes to name a few. For your carbohydrates stick with whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice and potatoes, and of course fruits such as apples, pears and so on. Your green vegetable sources should be just that, green. Examples include asparagus, spinach and broccoli.
Set up your aerobic exercise, which is a fancy way of saying you need to get in some cardio. Cardio can be anything from walking the dog to going for a bike ride. You should get in at least 20 minutes a day for three days out of the week.
Add in a weight training routine and your program will be complete. I recommend performing one exercise for each muscle group (back, biceps, chest, triceps, legs, shoulders and abs) for one set of 8 to 12 reps, no less than three days per week and never workout on consecutive days. If you don’t have any weights or access to a weight room, I suggest picking up some cheap dumbbells to get you started and an exercise ball to sit and lay on. It takes some practice, but in a couple of sessions you will be handling yourself fine.
You are now ready to go and turn your body into a fat burning machine. Just remember that you should get a complete physical from your primary care physician prior to starting any type of nutritional or exercise program.
