I know you want to loss weight, right! Every day you say you are going to do better but it just doesn’t happen. Why is this? Why do we go through this over and over again? Well, everyone is different and have different reasons.

Here is what I think, You have to want it bad enough! Bad enough that when you go out to dinner with friends you drink water, eat clean and you don’t over eat. Bad enough that you don’t find excuses to have that drink or eat that cookie. Bad enough that you make time to work out (HARD) don’t just go through the movements.

Here they are, 4 ways Speed Up The Body’s Metabolism to Lose Weight Now

1) Make Muscle

The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn all the time! (24 hours a day) and Ladies you will not bulk up and look manly. Don’t use that as an excuse not to lift heavy and hard, at any age. It’s the extra calories that make you “bulk” up, not the weights!

So here’s how to do it:

* Work big muscles or a combo of muscle groups to burn more calories with 60 seconds rest in between a group of 3 to 4 exercises. Watch the video for an example.

* Train and like a fitness competitor. I know you don’t want to be a fitness competitor but they are lean and look great. They do 6 to 8 sets for each body part with 8 to 12 reps. They work heavy and go to failure (this is key). Watch the video for more on heavy weights.

* When doing cardio do interval training (this is periods of high intensity with periods of active rest). Here are some examples of interval training on a treadmill https://elitephysiquesinc.com/2014/12/5-treadmill-workouts-rock/. Also watch the video for a sample workout.

* If you are walking on a treadmill or at the park on a flat surface you won’t be doing much for losing weight, you will be working your heart and lungs (this is a good thing). If you want to loss weight add some hills and walk faster than slow down on the flat to recover and repeat. The good thing about this type of training is you can get by with only 20 to 30 minutes of work compared to 30 to 60 minutes of non-interval work.

2) Think protein and fiber

It takes more calories to metabolize protein and fiber than it does fat and carbs. Plus eating protein and fiber will make you feel fuller. In a process called thermogenesis, your body uses about 10 to 15% of its calorie intake for digestion. That means that it will take longer to burn protein and fiber than carbs or fat, so your body expends more energy absorbing the nutrients in a high-protein diet. One recent study from Purdue University found that diets higher in protein may help maintain  lean body mass, which is the best fat-burner of all.

3) Eat more food

When you eat clean you can eat more food. Clean food has a lot less calories than junk food. When I weighed 149 pounds I ate 1500 to 2000 calories a day. If you eat 5 times a day that’s about 300 to 350 calories for each meal. I lost 25 pounds and 7% body-fat.

4) Eat Organic

If you body is toxic or unhealthy it will be very hard for you to loss weight. Eating food that have chemicals on them can cause your body not to run properly especially your thyroid. There’s lots of research out there to support this claim. To read more about this go to Wellness Resources.
