11 Ways to speed up your metabolism

1. Go for the After Burn

The more intense you workout... The more calories you'll continue to burn "after" your workout is over keeping your fat-burning metabolism higher all throughout the day.

Weight loss intervals are intense workouts that cause an after burn effect where You'll continue to burn calories after you've finished working out to help your body recover from your intense workout so to lose weight faster & permanently...

It's best to do a high intensity workout at least 3 times a week and you can do low intensity workouts the other days.

Please Note: all weight loss activities have some sort of after burn effect but only the after burn effect of high intensity activities keeps your fat-burning metabolism higher for much longer periods of time.

2. Exercise less but more frequently

Scientists are now saying you can actually lose more weight & keep your metabolism fired up longer by doing 4 smaller 10-minute workouts instead of 1 big 30-to-40-minute workout

Check this out: In a recent University of Pittsburgh study... Women who did 4 separate 10 minute workouts during the day lost 30% more weight than women who did one big 40 minute workout everyday so what this really means for you is this...

If you have time - you can boost your metabolism by doing 4 smaller 10 minute workouts at a moderate-to-high intensity (see how to lose weight at home) or if don't have time for 4 separate 10 minute workouts... You can still keep your metabolism higher all day long by going for the after burn (see #1) with ONE longer interval workout.

3. Drink 2-to-3 liters of cold water daily

Not only does water help prevent you from getting bloated by flushing out excess water weight but as far as increasing your metabolism goes...

The fat burning process of metabolism needs water to work effectively and... Your body has to raise your metabolism to burn extra calories to warm up the Ice cold water you drink and...

Check this out: A Clinical Research Center in Berlin found that after you drink 17 ounces of water - Your fat-burning metabolism increases by 30% within 10 minutes of drinking water.

4. Eat More fiber & protein

More fiber & protein increases your metabolism because your body burns the most calories when it digest foods high in fiber & protein and better yet...

Some high fiber foods like raw vegetables burns so many calories during digestion that it creates a negative calorie effect which basically means...

If you were to eat a 20 calorie carrot... Your body would burn 25 calories digesting the carrot making you burn 5 calories just by eating the carrot.

See how to lose weight without counting calories

5. Eat at least 5 smaller meals

Your body has to burn more calories digesting all those small meals you eat plus... Your body will burn a lot more calories when you eat meals with servings of fiber & protein (see # 4 again) and...

Even if you don't believe eating 5 small meals has no effect on your metabolism: Your metabolism does slows down to conserve energy The longer you wait between meals and eating 5 smaller meals keeps you from not overeating and gaining weight by keeping you satisfied (or not feeling hungry) longer during the day plus...

Your energy levels will be higher and your body will be much more efficient at burning calories.

6. Do something when you wake up

The best time to workout to lose weight is first thing in morning so you'll burn more fat but as far as revving up your metabolism goes...

Morning workouts give you a longer lasting After burner effect (see #1) that helps you burn more calories during the day while on the other hand...

You do get some after burn with evening workouts but your after burn won't last as long since you'll probably end up going to bed in the evening and when you sleep - your metabolism slows back down.

7. Have breakfast after your morning workout - NO COFFEE

You need to eat good breakfast with some protein and fiber (see #4) to boost your fat-burning metabolism earlier in the day so you can burn more fat and...

If you do skip breakfast you'll miss out on all the calories you could've burned if you wait until lunch or dinnertime to eat because... Skipping breakfast makes your metabolism (which is already slow from you sleeping 8-to-12 hours) even slower and...

Studies show that when you eat breakfast... You won't overeat, you'll maintain your weight, and you'll lose more weight while on diet & exercise programs.

8. Gain Muscle

1 pound of muscle burns 5-to-14 calories a day so when you put on 5 pounds of muscle... Your metabolism will burn 25-to-70 extra calories a day and You'll lose an extra 2½-to-7 pounds of fat a year and...

Although the 2½-to-7 pound weight loss is not a lot... When you gain 5 pounds of muscle - You'll look 5-to-10 pounds slimmer because muscle takes up less space than Fat does.

9. Drink Green tea

According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Green tea helps you burn 35-to-43% more calories a day and...

Another study showed that men who drank green tea for 3 months lost almost twice as much weight than those who didn't drink green tea and... Play the video below to see how Green Tea makes you lose weight faster...

10. Got MILK?

During a Purdue university study... Women who ate 3-to-4 servings of low-fat dairy everyday burned more fat & more calories after meals and...

This study said you may be able to lose an extra 10 pounds of fat just by eating 3-to-4 servings of low-fat dairy like yogurt, cheese, and skim milk.

11. Spicy foods can increase your metabolism

Different studies have said that spicy foods can increase your metabolism by 8-to-20% for at least 30 minutes after eating them and you don't have to eat a whole lot of spicy foods...

All you need to do to get a metabolism boost from spicy foods is to add a little bit of Cayenne pepper or Cinnamon to your favorite recipes.

I do it like that but let's get one thing straight...

If you really work out intense when doing intervals then you'll burn fat regardless of the time you workout but YES...

In my opinion and based on my personal results - you can burn fat faster on an empty stomach in the morning Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 11:20 pm

Hi Adrian, I've seen countless phony websites out there that only exist to scam money off people who are desperate to lose weight. But this site is the real stuff.

Here's the question:
Is it smart to do intense interval workout first thing in the morning with an empty stomach? Because I heard from somewhere that instead of burning fat, it actually burns muscles.
Thanks

Just remember this about intervals...

You want to make your hard or intense parts so intense that you can't wait for the REST part and...

make your hard parts 20-to-45 seconds and your rest periods 30seconds-to-2 mintues long so on an elliptical...

You want to work so hard for 20-45 seconds that you cant wait for the 30seconds-to-2 mintue rest break.

See NowLoss.com/50 for meal plan and

look at nowloss.com/i for more on intervals

Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 5:23 pm

I love your site! I am 32 215 and have had four kids by c section. I want to start out with the interval trainning and love the elliptcal, do you suggest the interval trainning on the machine?. I am not really finding a meal plan step by step. Did I miss it somewhere or could you send me a detailed week for my weight and sex.

Hi,
I am 27 , I weight almost 150 lbs, for 5'11. I changed my eating habits since 2 years, I gained 10lbs. I practice Yoga 3 to 4 times a week, I ride my bicycle every other day. I love to eat, even if I eat healthy, its still more than I should that is bad. And I also go out, socialise, that means smoke and drink for my work... I have a month to loose this weight, do you think that is possible without being too restrictive ?

Thank you so much for your help, never been on a diet before...

you dont really need to lose any weight at your current size.

you probably need to gain some weight

why do you want to lose weight and how much exactly are you trying to lose ?

The fact is I am not fat but I have tiny bones.
Which look good in clothes but without I gained so much cellulite.
And actually none of my pants fitting anymore.
I use to be very confortable in a size 27, 28, now it would be more like a 30.
I love to eat good food I don't have any eating disorder.
But I just want to feel myself again in a bikini .
What can I do for that quick ?

Hi Adrian,

Last year at this time, I was running half marathons, and I even ran/ walked a marathon last April. I was in prime physical shape, but I overworked myself, and got a running injury (stress fracture in foot)... I stopped exercising for months, and over 6 months, I gained 30 lbs. Yikes. I've tried to start running again, but it flares my old injury up. I feel that I'm too heavy to run long distance right now because it might be too much for my joints. I started going to the gym, and doing at least an hour of cardio (elliptical or walking on incline), and that has helped. I lost 5 lbs, but I still have 25 to go. I usually work out at night because I can't seem to get the energy to workout in the am. I do an hour of cardio about 5x a week. In terms of diet, my one weakness is a whole wheat bagel, but I limit myself to only one or two a week. Otherwise, I try to drink a lot of water, stay away from sweets, go easy on carbs at night, and go for higher protein meals, as well as snack on fruits and veggies.

I am 5'6, and weigh 155, and I would like to be 130 again. My body fat % is about 35. Do you have any advice for me? I want to get in shape as fast as possible, and I will do whatever it takes.

I have been eating 5 meals a day for the last 8 weeks but inn a day I take in only about700 cals. I eat 10oz of lean protein, 1 1/2 cup of complex carbs, and 6 cups of greens or fruits. I am working out 5 days a week with 3 cardio for 45-60mins with my heart rate at 140-160 and 2 days of sculpting plus cardio w/ one day being upper body and the other lower and 30mins of cardio. My problem is that I avoid dairy and bread, nuts and oils. I do drink 100 0z of water as well. Now I am not losing and other issues. I now fear changing it with worry that all that i have lost will come back.

The main thing in this diet is to stop consuming: bread, alcohol, any lemonade, including dietary.

Instead:
* Drink only tea, coffee, fruit juice (all without sugar) or skim milk, and is better - mineral water.
* the more soup you eat, the more fat burns down.
* NO fried food in hot fan.
* instead of meat it is possible to eat fish or a chicken without a skin.
* you can use without doubts this diet even if you have to accept medicines.
* patients to whom the heart operation is necessary and to which need to dump excess weight quickly use this diet, for example.

Soup ingredients:
6 onions,
1-2 banks of the cleared tomatoes (or fresh 6 tomatoes),
1 big head of cabbage,
2 big green pepper,
1 bunch of greens of a celery,
1 bunch of parsley,
2 bags of onions soup (Knorr, Maggi, etc.)., but natural meat broth is much better.

Way of preparation: Cut Vegetables into small pieces, put in a pan and fill it with water so that vegetables completely in water, and allow to begin to boil. Add contents 2 packages of onions soup. Soup should boil for 10 minutes after that leave it on slow fire until vegetables will not cook. It is possible to season soup by little amount of salt, pepper, parsley, chilly or tobasco.

You can eat this soup, when u feel hunger. Thus you practically do not receive calories. The more soup you eat, the more fat is burnt in your body. If you r going out, take with yourself soup in a thermos. The big breaks between food intakes conduct to undereating and feeling of hunger.

1st day: Today you eat only soup and fresh fruits. You can eat all kinds of fruit, except bananas, water-melon and melon, in addition to soup. Drink tea or still mineral water.
2nd day: Eat fresh, crude or tinned vegetables(green vegs are better). Refuse a red string bean, a peas and corn. Beside it always eat soup. In the evening you can remunerate yourself by one baked potato with margarine. Do not eat any fruit.
3rd day:Eat as much soup as u can. Beside, you can eat fruits and vegetables. NO baked potato. If you strictly adhered these diet for three days you have lost 2,5-3,5 kg.
4th day: Eat three bananas with low-fat milk and drink still mineral water, as much as u can. Accompany this menu with soup. Bananas contain many calories and carbohydrates, as well as milk. Today your body requires carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lower appetite to sweets.
5th day: you can eat 500 gг meat and bank of preserved or six fresh tomatoes. Try to drink 6-8 glasses of water to wash up all acids from ur body. Do not forget about soup.
6th day: Meat and vegetables as much as u want. Vegetables should be green. Do not forget about soup.
7th day: Crude rice, vegetables, fruit salad and soup.
If you did not swindle, in 7 days u have lost from 5 to 8 kg of weight. You can repeat this diet so often as u want. Untill you will reach ideal weight for you and feel more healthy and efficient.
