Ready
to increase your metabolism?
Don't give up if you have a slower metabolism!With all that being said, don't give up hope yet! Just because someone has a slower metabolism it does not mean that they cannot acquire the body of their dreams. You may have to work harder than someone who was born with a faster metabolism but with some discipline there is no reason why you should not be able to speed up your metabolism to accomplish your goals. You have to learn the ways to increase your metabolism (our fat burning exercises and the recommended food list articles are a good place to start). In fact, there are a lot of things that people do everyday to contribute to the slowing down of their metabolism. How many people do you know eat once or twice a day and are still overweight? Or are you in the same predicament yourself? Even if they eat the wrong foods the overweight problem has to be contributed to more than just the amount of calories consumed. Don't get me wrong, counting calories is important but one of the major misconceptions out there is that in order to successfully lose weight all you have to do is eat fewer calories then your body burns. Although this will work for the short-term, in the long run your headed for failure. The problem with only eating once or twice a day is that you are contributing to the slowing of your metabolism. Your body is an amazing machine that in extreme circumstances is going to make adjustments to survive. To demonstrate this point, lets use an example a person that falls into freezing water. As the person becomes submerged in the freezing water the blood moves from the limbs to the chest. In a nut shell the body does this to keep the heart pumping in a last effort to make the necessary adjustments for survival. What does this have to do with your metabolism and how does it help you increase your metabolism? Well, now imagine what happens when you only eat once or twice a day. Irregardless of the amount of calories that your are consuming your body is going to hold on to as many calories as possible. With irregular feedings your body doesn't know when it will receive nutrients again so it will store the unused calories as fat. By eating only once or twice a day you are putting your body in survival mode like a bear does when it hibernates in the winter. This is why the fad diets and crash diets only work for the short-term (checkout diet examples in our free diet plans). Yes if you reduce your caloric intake you will initially drop weight but in a short amount of time your body will make the necessary adjustments to be able to function off of its current caloric consumption. In both examples, the freezing water and calorie reduction, your body makes adjustments to increase its chances for survival. If you believe that our bodies are constantly trying to achieve a state of balance then you also have to believe that reducing your caloric intake alone will not give you the long-term results that you are looking for. The key is to create a diet plan where the body will increase your metabolism by becoming an efficient fat burning machine. Continue on to learn the steps to boost your metabolism
