The name of the game is "speed up your metabolism." By making your body work more effectively you accelerate your ability to lose weight. Enhancing your metabolism will also improve the effects of your diet and exercise regimen, making the race for a sexy, flat stomach much easier.
Below is 7-step formula that will instantly enhance your metabolism.
1 - Avoid eating three hours before bedtime to allow your body to digest the food that you ate for dinner. This is the biggest error most people make. Your body will certainly store more calories as fat when you eat before you sleep because your body doesn't need the calories for immediate energy.
2 - Increase your water consumption to 8 glasses daily, or more. Losing belly fat, and weight loss in general, is a dehydration process, so being dehydrated before you begin is the fastest way to depress your metabolic rate, which will stall fat loss.
Quick tip: Lukewarm water with lemon is better than drinking cold water.
3 - Take 30 minutes, 4 times per week for brisk walking or bicycling. If you have another exercise regimen, walk on the rest of your schedule. Really serious about getting in shape? Weight training should also be incorporated into your exercise regimen to give your metabolism a bigger boost, which could last for up to 24 hours after each session!
Note: This is not tough. In fact, the toughest part is simply beginning. Most people find that after they've done the exercise they feel great!
4 - Consume tea instead of fattening coffees and other metabolism boosting, diet pills. Green tea, white tea and black tea demonstrate exceptional performance in speeding up your metabolism. Yes, caffeine enhances metabolism, but its effect can often lead to dehydration which can effect mental and physical performance.
Note: If you must drink coffee, avoid the suped-up, sugar-filled selections...and drink more water.
5 - Include spices, such as chilies and cayenne pepper, in your food preparation. These spices enhance your metabolism.
6 - Eat Raspberries. They're known to increase metabolism. They're a good source of fiber. Plus they send a chemical signal, alerting the brain you are already satiated.
7 - Drink red wine: Resveratrol is a strong antioxidant that is found in red wines, and health supplements, and can aid in kicking your metabolism into high gear and accelerate weight loss.
