Boost Your Metabolism Naturally!
All Natural Ways to Speed the Weightloss Journey!
Are you struggling to figure out what foods can help you naturally speed up your metabolism?
Whether you are new to leaner, healthier living, or an old torch bearer of the lifestyle, we can all use some new life hacks that will help us achieve or maintain our wellness goals. When I was younger, I had a very speedy, I could eat anything and stay skinny metabolism. When I reached my early to mid 20's this greatly slowed down, but I continued to eat as if I had the speedy athletes metabolism.
Big mistake! Throughout your life as your body changes with age, you are no longer capable of maintaining the same bad habits as you have in the past. It takes the body much longer to recover. Personally, this is a huge lesson I am learning daily as my now over 50 body starts to feel the pains of age. So to counteract the weight gain from a slowing metabolism, I invested some time and researched some of the things we can do that will allow us to naturally keep the speed of our metabolism up.
First and foremost, understanding what your metabolism is and why it is so important was key. Think of it as simplistically as this. Fuel in and energy expended. The metabolism is the rate at which the food is expended and of course different foods and food groups will have different ways of effecting how the engine performs. Simply put not all calories are created equal.
The food you eat is converted into energy. Some of this is clean energy, while others is pure crap!. We all know those foods well, right? However, do we know some of the foods that are clean and help speed up the processes of converting calories to energy? Below are some of the essential foods to help this process.
Watermelon
Green Tea
Avocado
Egg Whites
Black Beans

Other Factors That Help
As mentioned above there are many ways the body is effected by the foods we eat. This is specifically true when it comes to your metabolism. So it stands to reason that there are many things you can do or not do that will directly effect the rate of your metabolism.
Obviously watching the foods you eat and focusing on some of the foods that work to speed up your metabolism is the first way to give yourself a little metabolic boost. Another is to ensure to eat a healthy breakfast every day. There is a reason it is the most important meal of the day. (This is especially true if you are actively using intermittent fasting to manage your weight as well)
Healthy breakfast toasts with avocado, peanut butter, banana, chocolate granola, cream cheese, figs, blackberry, persimmon, pomegranate, chia seeds.
Why is breakfast or the first meal you eat so important. Look at it this way. If you are leaving at least an 8 hour window after your last food prior to your first food the next day, your body is hungry, it is in need of fuel. What you put in your body can set the tone for your entire energy levels that day. Starting the day with the right fuel starts the day out with more energy.
