3 Factors to Boost Your Metabolism

When it comes to increasing your metabolism for weight loss there are many theories out there - and maybe you've tried a few of them in the past. While it's true our metabolism is the key to weight loss, sometimes what we think is helping us lose weight and speed our metabolism up is in reality just slowing our metabolism down.

In simple terms our metabolism is how efficiently our body breaks down the foods and fuels we put inside it. The foods we eat and the way we move both have an effect on how our body is able to use the foods we eat.

Just eating less isn't going to help speed up your metabolism, in fact, in most cases is just slowing it down even more. Changing up your routines is going to help as well. And being consistent is a much a part of losing weight and speeding up your metabolism as anything.

3 factors to increasing our metabolism are:

1. What we eat

2. Amount of Activity

3. Amount of Lean Muscle

If you're interested in leaning how to speed your metabolism up you need to first start with identifying what is going to keep you from achieving success and how you are going to stay consistent. Having a plan, even loosely identified, will ensure you not just get to your goal, but that you can maintain it.

Anyone can follow a program for 30-90 days - but can you make lifestyle changes that will help you maintain the results once you get there? The best weight loss program is one you can stick with for the rest of your life. That should be the real goal. If you turn to pills, caffeine, green tea, cutting out food, working out hard in the gym - are you prepared to do that for the rest of your life, to buy the products or keep the intensity? The best weight loss pill is in changing your lifestyle to support you keeping your weight off naturally and fit in with the way you want to live.
