To fix this, the following section looks at some powerful and scientific
diet-related tips that will boost your metabolism. Indeed, as you’ll soon
learn, it’s not merely what you eat that matters; it’s when, and how, too.
Don’t Hate Calories
The word calorie has a bad rap. We constantly come across calorie
reduced or low calorie foods. And it’s not uncommon to overhear someone
gasp about the immense calorie content of certain foods, such as a rich
and creamy desert, or a giant fast food burger.
All of this anti-calorie rhetoric therefore has made a lot of us pretty
calorie-phobic; as soon as we see something that has lots of them, we run
away. But is this wise?
Yes and no. Yes, it’s wise in the sense that avoiding that double-layer
chocolate fudge cake for desert is probably a good idea (actually, scratch
that; it is a good idea).
The calories that come from the cake are really going to be the so-called
empty calorie kind; which means that there’s no real nutritional value that
your body can squeeze out and make use of.
But in the bigger picture, it’s unwise for your metabolism to become
calorie-avoidant.
Why? Because your body is a marvelous machine that tries, at all times, to
do what it can to make your life easier.
