Do you have a slow metabolism? Let us give you some proven tips, and ways on how to fix that so that you can boost your metabolism naturally.
First of all, you have to realize why we get slow metabolisms, and it is a little bit of hormonal but a lot of it is calorie restriction people.
The only thing calorie restriction does is slow your metabolism because your body wants to survive. If you give your body a certain amount of calories that’s lower than what it needs, eventually, it is going to slow down your metabolic rate.
Tip 1 is to switch up your calories. You cannot keep them the same every single day. You have to keep the body guessing so your metabolic rate never crashes because your body’s primary job is to keep you alive, and so if you starve it, it’s gonna know, and it’s going to hold on to everything it has.
Tip 2, is you really want to be fat-fueled because when you start to lower your calories and your glucose burner, your body will take your muscle and via gluconeogenesis, it will turn it into glucose and that is why oftentimes when you lose weight on a standard weight loss diet, a low cal diet, you will gain it back because now all of a sudden your metabolic rate has dropped.
Tip 3 is to lift weights. Muscle increases your metabolic rate because just muscle sitting there burns more calories than
fat.
Muscle is metabolically active tissue whereas fat is not and really if you think about it on a diet you’re looking to burn fat, you’re not looking to lose weight. There’s a huge difference there.
Tip 4 is you want to just lower your carbs. Carbohydrates increase your insulin and insulin is the fat-storage hormone.
So, which of these tips are you going to follow?
