2 Nutrients Proven To Boost Your Metabolism...
Most diets advocate low-fat,
low-carb, high-protein foods as the standard
weight-loss regime. Truth be told, not only is this
type of diet very restricting, but it doesn’t supply
your body the nutrition it needs to boost you
metabolism.
A healthy diet is one that
makes your food work for you — a diet that
gives you the maximum nutritional value in each meal,
nutrition that will help boost your metabolism for the
long-term.
Starting in the morning and
taking you through a whole day of fat loss.
(hint: if you hate eating
breakfast ==>
Eat this in the morning for max fat-burning)
Heck... why would you want to
just eat food that helps you lose weight when you can
create a diet full of foods that not only helps you
drop weight, but also have loads of energy, and sets
your metabolism up on autopilot so it
burns more fat — allowing you to exercise less and get
back to living life.
Let me explain...
There are two main types of
nutrients out there... micro- and macro-nutrients. To
put it simply, micro-nutrients
are all the vitamins and minerals. These are the
nutrients that supply your body with the sustenance it
needs to keep your metabolism “healthy”.
Macro-nutrients are nutrients
like protein (chicken, fish, lean red meat and egg
whites), carbohydrates (rice, potato’s and
vegetables), fats (oils, fatty meats and fried foods)
and fiber. These nutrients can either boost
your metabolism and burn body fat, or force
your body to store fat.
Think of the food you
eat like a drug for a moment
Each micro- or macro-nutrient
you ingest causes a very specific chemical reaction in
your body.
Some foods cause your body to
release chemicals which force it to store more body
fat, while others force your metabolism to burn hotter
and thus burn more calories and stored fat.
It just makes sense that you
should strive to eat only those foods proven to make
your body healthier, tighter and leaner.
Creating a diet that’s going to get you these results
is as easy as following 3 basic rules:
1. Eat 5 or 6 meals every day — equally
spaced about 2 to 3 hours apart.
When you eat a
healthy meal your metabolism automatically kicks in
and begins burning that food as fuel for energy, but
only for a short time...
...it takes your body about 2
to 3 hours to break down the macronutrients and
assimilate the micronutrients from foods. Your
metabolism is high and in fat burning mode during this
entire process, assuming you choose the right foods
(more on this shortly).
Once your body digests that
food, your metabolism begins to slow down. By eating
every 2 to 3 hours, you’re forcing your metabolism to
stay high, maximizing your body’s ability to burn body
fat and stay lean.
2. Eat lean protein
like chicken, fish, lean red meat, egg whites, or
protein powder in every meal. Also add a wide variety
of raw vegetables in each meal, making your serving
size as large as possible—avoiding starchy vegetables
and salad dressings.
3. Eat complex
carbohydrates like potatoes, rice, grits, or
rice cakes in your first few meals only. These
servings should be smaller, like a cup of cooked rice
or 1 regular size potato for example.
The Power Of The First
30 Minutes
It’s important to also
make your first meal your largest and that meal should
be eaten within 30 minutes of waking up.
When you sleep, your
metabolism is at it’s absolute lowest, so you need
give it a boost as soon as you can to trigger the fat
burning process to begin as early in the day as
possible.
The two best ways to jump-start your
metabolism after waking up in the morning are by
eating a breakfast that contains protein or by
exercising.
If you're not a breakfast
eater, or you want a fast, metabolism boosting
breakfast, then use this supplement:

morning for max fat-burning >>>
If you skip this vital step
and don’t begin eating anything substantial until
lunchtime, you’re missing out on all those golden
hours of fat burning you could be automatically taking
advantage of simply by eating a healthy breakfast.
Here’s to a leaner, healthier
you, Chris
