Here are 5 ways to jump start weight loss and build a strong metabolism that burns fat off your body more efficiently. Your metabolism is your body's internal engine and you can give it a tune up just like you tune up the engine in your car so it runs more efficiently and burns calories and fat better. Metabolism is the key if you want to get fast results that last, please read on to learn how to give your body a tune up.
Jump Start Weight Loss
1. Keep your body guessing. Your body is wonderful at adapting to your routine so if you are keeping your calories very low in hopes to get the fat off faster then your body will adapt to this low level and slow your weight loss. This is why you must vary your calorie intake during the week. Make this simple on yourself by adding one meal a week which I call a "Booster Meal" that is higher in calories and boosts your metabolism.
2. Exercise with intention. If you find yourself just going through the motions when you exercise then you are not getting the boost to your metabolism that will help your body burn fat. Constantly vary the intensity of your workout moving back and forth between high effort and low effort.
3. Lift weights. This idea can bring up a lot of resistance for some people but the truth is your metabolism rate is very closely related to how much muscle you have on your body. Even adding one pound of muscle to your body will allow you to burn 50 additional calories during the day.
4. Think protein. Whether you are enjoying a meal or a snack you will give your body a metabolism boost by having protein. This nutrient is hard to digest which means you require more energy to break it down.
5. Sleep. This sounds too simple to be a tip to jump start weight loss but the truth is that your body needs at least 7 hours a night to recharge your metabolism. If you want a fast fat burning metabolism during the day then give your body what it needs at night.
