How to speed up your metabolism to lose weight

In addition to taking a nutritious breakfast it is important that you combine it with a light dinner, as our body accumulates fat at night.

Although you have inherited the metabolism of your family, you are not condemned to settle with him and live with overweight and discomfort involved. It is always possible to change our metabolism and make it work with us and not against us. Some studies have shown that each of these tips speed up your metabolism, so your body lose weight faster, healthier and naturally in less time and with less effort.

1. Eat breakfast every day something nutritious

Eat something nutritious breakfast (like an omelet with spinach and feta cheese with a slice of whole wheat toast) shortly after waking your metabolism will start working immediately and correctly. According to a study conducted by the National Weight Control Registry US with 5000 patients healthy breakfast implemented in daily life, weight loss can be up to 30 kilos in 5 years.

This is because breakfast gives energy to the body and this stops accumulating fat instead began working with the food that we give and lose weight naturally. It is also recommended that light cenes, because during the night spent several hours in fasting and body accumulate as much fat as you can.

2. Add green tea to your diet

Green tea is known for its antioxidant properties, but also recently discovered that helps speed up metabolism, and thus lose weight quickly. Researchers from several universities have conducted studies with various groups of people to determine the benefits of this tea. One of the results was that those who started the habit of drinking green tea lost weight faster than others because it facilitates fat oxidation and thermogenesis. The ideal amount is 5 cups of green tea a day, bringing the energy body with just 90 calories increases considerably.

3. Eat foods rich in omega 3

We already know that eating fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids (such as salmon or tuna) speeds up your metabolism, in addition to regulating blood sugar levels and reduce other problems (such as inflammation). But some studies have been made recently have shown that these fatty acids also help to reduce resistance to leptin, a hormone that facilitates weight loss. If you do not like eating fish or prefer other alternatives, you can add a daily supplement of omega-3 containing between 1,000 and 2,000 milligrams or some nuts for the same benefits.

4. Do not remove all the calories from your diet

We have the idea that those who remove more calories from your diet, manage to lose weight more easily. While this may be true in the beginning, when our body realizes that we are giving fewer calories, you begin to increase your energy accumulating fat. Therefore, eat more accelerates your metabolism as long as you choose healthier foods and nutrients you provide. It is also important not to spend long periods of fasting. The ideal is to eat 6 times a day (300 calories each), instead of two meals too heavy or high caloric value.

5. Make different intensities to exercise

The next time you make exercise (walking, swimming, running, etc.) adds some intervals of 30 seconds in which you increase the intensity and then returns to normal intensity. These slight changes make your body consumes more energy, significantly strengthens the ability of cells to regenerate and helps them have greater oxygenation. With this you can also exercise less time but achieving the desired objectives much faster. These intervals can be added to any the sport that you make.

6. Take a break after exercising

Exercise is a gift we can give to our body and health, but can also cause severe fatigue when it is too intense. Although exercise helps to speed up metabolism, a key element is the proper rest that allows our body to return to his state of total calm. It is important that the amount of calories you burn with exercise exceeds the amount you eat, this will help you lose weight more effectively.

7. Avoid trans fats

We've all heard how bad are these fats, but also reduce the natural ability of your body to burn fat. This is because our cells and prolong alter our metabolism. As if this were not enough, they can also lead to insulin resistance and inflammation. So eliminating trans fats from your diet, boost metabolism and weight loss.

8. Increase protein intake

Our body takes longer to digest foods rich in protein rich fat or carbohydrates. This means that when you eat protein you feel satisfied longer, while still working your metabolism and burning fat to achieve it. This results in a considerable acceleration of your metabolism and reducing hunger. In addition, it has been shown that eating protein allows you to gain muscle rather than fat.

Speed ​​up your metabolism with a good diet

The genetic mark some features of our body, but with some changes can take control of what we want to change and achieve. Speeding up your metabolism means that this will work faster, burn more calories and get or we will keep our ideal weight.

By following these tips, we give the opportunity to our body to stay healthy naturally and self-regulating. This is much healthier to try complicated diets that generate few results or follow a poor diet that will sicken us.

10-Minute Fat Loss Workouts

10-Minute Fat Loss Workouts 
By: Craig Ballantyne, CTT

Last week I helped Men's Health magazine on a piece about getting workouts done fast. Personally, I think you can get a great body-changing workout done in minutes.

How fast?

I'm talking 10-minutes.

By now, I'm sure you're asking...

How do you lose fat in only ten minutes?

or

What about the rule that it takes 20 minutes of cardio before you start burning fat?

Well, first of all, as I have said before, the whole idea of a
fat-burning zone or a magical fat-burning time period just doesn't fit with the common sense approach to fat loss.

People can lose fat without doing any cardio at all - so its clear
that you don't have to workout for at least 20-minutes with your heart rate at 60% of your maximum heart rate. Fat loss is far simpler than that - and I'll show you some basic workouts below that crank your metabolism and help you burn calories when you are not exercising.

Second, the results of your training occur outside of the gym
rather than during the workout. That's why the before-mentioned "increased metabolism" is so important. If you put the right "turbulence" on your muscles in 10-minutes, you can change your body - without even thinking about doing cardio.

So let's look at the first fat loss in a hurry workout - a
10-minute bodysculpting workout. Let's say you only have 10 minutes to do your workout today - what should you do?

In this case, you need to combine a warm-up, strength
training, and interval training all into one. So our efforts are
best put forward on bodyweight training.

And you don't have time for isolation work. Instead, you need to
hit three "hot zones" on the body for maximum metabolism boosting: push muscles, pull muscles, and legs.

By doing so, you'll hit all the other muscle groups at the same
time. So you'll do a circuit of soemthing like:

1A) Prisoner Squats (advanced option: 1-Leg Squats)
1B) Pushups (advanced option: Spiderman Pushups)
1C) Inverted Rows (advanced option: Pull-ups; easy option:
Stick-ups)

In the first round of this circuit, you'll go through it easy.
Perform 25% of the maximum number of reps you can do for each exercise. So if you can do 20 pushups, do only 5 in the first
warm-up circuit. That's a warm-up circuit.

Then you'll do as many circuits as you can in the remainder of the 10 minutes. Just go back-to-back-to-back on these 3 exercises. You can rest after the rows/pull-ups for 30 seconds if necessary, but that's it.

You'll be pleasantly surprised with how you feel at the end of the 10-minutes. And your metabolism will be elevated for a much longer period than if you trained in the fat-burn zone for 10-minutes.

Okay, now here's another option, moving into some dumbbell work. The following superset trains the entire body, and focuses on the 3 hot zones.

1A) DB Squat (8 reps per set)
1B) DB Chest Press (8 reps per set)

Use light weights for one warm-up set, and then do as many sets as possible in 10 minutes for the rest of the workout.

In any case, if you find yourself with another 10 minutes, you can up the fat-burning ante by doing 10 minutes of intervals. This too is far more effective for fat loss and fitness than 10 more minutes in the "so-called" fat-burning zone.

Do 3-5 minutes of exercise-specific warm-up.

Then do your intervals for 30 seconds followed by 30-60 seconds of rest. Repeat 3-6 times. Then cooldown.

Okay, now let's get greedy and assume we have 30 minutes for our workout. We'll be close to getting maximum results with this
"marathon" duration workout.

First, hit up the bodyweight circuit mentioned above. Do this
twice, nice and easy. That will take 5 minutes off the clock.

Then move into your strength supersets. Following the lead above, you'll look to train the entire body with only 2 moves. It's not always easy, but fortunately you can do 2 supersets in this
workout. The strength training will take about 15 minutes as you'll do 3 sets of 8 per exercise with no extra rest between sets - just long enough to switch exercises.

1A) DB Split Squat (If you have a barbell, use it instead of DB's)
1B) DB Row

2A) DB Romanian Deadlift
2B) DB Incline Press

Then finish with intervals. For this workout, try another program. Start with a warm-up, then do each "work" interval for 45 seconds, and rest 60 seconds between each interval. Do 4-6 rounds and finish with a cool-down, of course.

I could go on and on with these fast fat loss workouts...and of
course I do, in the Turbulence Training e-book.

I'll follow up on this article in the future, passing along some of
the exact Turbulence Training workouts that I use with my clients to get the most results in the least amount of time.

Until then, train hard, train safe, and train better than everyone
else in the gym.

P.S. Is a lack of time stressing you out?

"No time to exercise" is the #1 reason most people don't exercise consistently. In fact, a lack of time stresses most people out for many reasons - whether it's a lack of time to prepare good food, exercise, or be with your family.

That's why I created Turbulence Training to be the most efficient and effective fat loss program out there.

The warm-up is applicable to your workout, not some 5-minute waste of time on the treadmill.

The strength training supersets shave minutes off your wait time.

And the intervals cut your cardio in half, or more.
