Metabolism is the system that converts what you eat and drink into energy. At any time this can speed up and slow down. So how can you signal to your body that food is plentiful, times are good and you are ready to speed up and burn fat?
Eat Healthy Fats
Dark Chocolate
Avocado
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Natural Peanut Butter
Nuts-Walnuts
Flax Seed
Fish-Salmon
Olives
Soybeans
Eat Small Meals Every 3-4 Hours
Eating every 3-4 hours can help you develop a great relationship with food and keep you burning fat for hours.
Drink 2-3 Liters of Water a Day
According to WEBMD, after drinking 17 oz of water, metabolism speeds up 30% within 10 minutes and reaches a maximum boost after 30-40 minutes.
Sleep 8 Hours
Sleep helps the body perform at its best all day long. Sleep deprivation signals your metabolism to slow down, use less energy, and causes many to binge later in the day. Sleeping your way to slim works, trust us!
Avoid Restrictive Diets
Avoid diets that are under 1350-1500 calories a day for women depending on height.
Eat More to Lose Weight
Extreme calorie restriction wrecks lasting weight loss efforts as your body compensates by slowing down your metabolism and conserves calories for survival.
The race to speed up metabolism is really about working with your body and understanding that everything it does is in your best interest, including storing fat to burn it later.
FOODS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR DIET
Raspberries
Salmon
Green Tea
Avocado
Chili Peppers
Fennel Tea
Flaxseeds
Watermelon

Ito ang mga dapat nating malaman tungkol sa organic foods at kung paano ito nakatutulong sa paglo-lose natin ng weight! ๐ #organics #organicfoods #aidtoweightloss #weightlossjourney #roadtohealthierandfitterus
(Order 4 boxes of Lean n Green for Php1200, that’s Php200 cheaper for 2 boxes na Php700)
Many people are surprised to learn that buying organic can aid in their weight loss efforts. Organically grown foods provide a higher concentration of nutrients without added chemicals and toxins like conventionally grown foods.
Non-organic Supplements
When you take a non-organic supplement you are ingesting the pesticides, chemicals, and toxins that were used to grow that crop. Your liver must then process and remove these toxins in order to keep these chemicals from poisoning your entire system.
Your Liver and Weight Loss
Your liver is the largest fat burning organ in the body. The liver can only clean out so many toxins at a time.
When the body is overloaded with toxins, from ingesting chemically laden non organic foods, it stores these toxins as fat deposits until your body can get around to getting rid of them later.
What is a GMO?
GMO – Genetically Modified Organisms
GMO’s are plants and animals that have been genetically engineered with the DNA from different species of plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria.
Not Safe for Humans
A growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems and environmental damage.
GMOs have not been shown to be safe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences.
Scientists are worried that eating GMO foods may pass on their mutant genes to the bacteria in our digestive systems.
What about Supplements?
Most supplements on the market today are filled with in-active ingredients: Preservatives, Coloring Agents, Flavoring Agents, Binders, Disintegrates.
Tablets
Tablets need to be held together with binders so the tablet can stay together and then they must add disintegrates to help breakdown the tablet in the digestive system.

Mga bessy, ito ang mga bagay na importante sa pagbabawas ng timbang. ๐๐
Create a Caloric Deficit
Creating a caloric deficit will have the biggest impact on weight loss. It can be done a number of different ways, so that is why people see success with a variety of approaches.
There are many ways to practice portion control that will result in a caloric deficit. Keep in mind that calorie counting is not the only possible way to monitor your intake.
Itโs also important to remember you should always set a *reasonable* deficiency to maintain your health and see the best results.
In other words, do not overly reduce your calories.
Macronutrient Intake
The second most important part of weight loss is making sure you’re getting a proper amount of each macronutrient: carbs, protein, & fats.
Getting adequate protein is especially important to maintain lean muscle mass while in a deficiency.
Nutrient Timing
While proper nutrient timing (ex: easily digested protein & carbs right after a strength workout) will help with lean muscle growth and fat loss, it has a far less significant impact than monitoring your overall macronutrient intake (ex: hitting your goal grams of protein for the whole day).
Supplements
Certain supplements have benefits for serious athletes and competitors, but they rarely make that big of a difference for weight loss for the general population.
