Posted: Jul 01, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 61 | Bookmark and Share

Metabolism is simply the rate at which your body burns calories. A person with higher metabolic rate would be able to lose more weight than one with a lower metabolic rate, even when both persons have the same amount of physical activity and diet. Hence, increasing your metabolism plays a significant role to achieve quick weight loss results.

So here are some useful tips on how to increase your metabolism:

1. Include protein in your diet

Proteins (amino acids) are the building blocks of muscles and tissues. Some of the proteins are also essential enzymes that are required for fat burning reactions in adipose (fats) cells to take place. However, do make choose to consume healthier types of proteins. Avoid red meats that are often laden with fats and cholesterol. Go for white meat (fish), legumes (especially soy bean products) and egg whites. Egg whites are excellent sources of low calories proteins! (However, do avoid eating egg yolk as it is where all the fats and cholesterol are concentrated). Here you go! Just add protein into your diet to give your metabolism a boost!

2. Have small and frequent meals

Your metabolism will decrease every time your body goes into "starvation mode". Hence by eating frequent but SMALL meals would suppress your hunger pangs and keeps your glucose level stabilized. Hence if you are thinking of skipping meals to lose weight, it will not only hinder your rate of weight loss but will also make you feel more lethargic. Also, research shows that people generally eat less overall in the day if they eat 5 to 6 small healthy meals throughout the day.

3. Do short, high intensity workouts

Incorporate intervals of short burst workouts (about 3-10 minutes) into your exercise routine. Though long-range workouts (more than 20 minutes) do well in burning excess fats in your body, spikes of high intensity exercise will help tremendously in toning your muscles as well as increase your overall metabolism. A good tip is to try out interval running. Sprint for 100 meters then jog for another 100 meters then sprint then jog (400 meters = 1 round around the track). This is a extremely useful exercise to get quick weight loss results!
