BASICS
Ultimate Weight Loss Revealed 9 by Brad Callen
Several ways to increase your metabolism include:
1.) Eating more and eat more often
By“ eating more” I donʼt mean to shovel in more food at one sitting. I mean to eat smaller meals throughout the day, five to six meals.
This equates to a meal every 2 _ to three hours. Each of these feedings should consist of 30 percent carbohydrates, 60 percent protein and 10 percent fat. The combination of small balanced, frequent meals allows your body to utilize the nutrients it needs when it needs them.
Because our bodies are made for survival it begins to hoard fat if it feels like it wonʼt get food for a long time. Basically, if you starve your body it will go into starvation mode. Our bodies are made to first use the nutrients in the food we eat for energy.
When the nutrients run out, the body resorts to energy from the muscles( you will lose lean muscle mass. You donʼt want this), then finally your body resorts to the bodies fat supply. This is why fad diets never work.
I will cover more on fad diets later on. Also, these smaller, more frequent meals stimulate your metabolic rate as your bodyʼs digestive system works and you maintain a stable glucose level. This will give you more energy, prevent hunger pains and keep you from bingeing.
2.) Work out intensely with weights
High intensity weight training is an excellent way to increase your metabolism. Lifting weights places a high demand on your body to burn more calories for faster growth and recuperation. Your muscle mass is the single most important factor in determining how many calories you burn because itʼs a very metabolically active tissue. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn- even at rest.
3.) Aerobic exercise

You should perform some type of cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times per week and youʼll not only burn calories, but also speed up your metabolism. Always keep this in mind while doing your cardiovascular exercise.
