Metabolism Boosters
Can you recommend a metabolism booster?
Hi, I have a 20 month baby and i have about 3 kg extra but i need to tone up. I have joined a gym and watch my diet but each time i start loosing 2 kg i seem to put them back on….
Can you recommend a metabolism booster that might help?
if you are losing weight by depriving yourself then no wonder you put weight back on – because when you starve yourslef all you lose is water weight and muscle and slow down metabolism and you end up having higher body fat percentage.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours – it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast – they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner – repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
