Lose Weight and Get the Body you want
Does it seem like your metabolism is stuck in the neutral gear? Even in reverse at times?
It’s not your imagination. Your metabolism most likely is slow. And if you’re a woman, it’s due to your biological programming.
We’ll explain.
Women are Biologically Programmed to Keep Fat
Our biological programming dictates to us to “fatten up.” This dates back to our cave-dwelling days. In those days, we didn’t know when we’d get our next meal. Calories had to last to ensure babies were born and the human race survived. Even though our lives have changed immensely since then, our body still performs as if it doesn’t know when to expect the next meal.
The problem magnifies when we add our hormones into the mix. If you’ve reached your 40’s or beyond, you are well aware of the frustration associated with declining estrogen levels. Keeping excess pounds at bay becomes next to impossible. You are the magnet and fat is the steel.
You can Boost Your Metabolism
Although you can’t control your age or your gender, there are other ways to improve your metabolism. Here are 7 of them.
Pep up with Protein
Eat more protein and burn more calories. It takes more energy for your body to digest proteins than it does for fat and carbohydrates. Boost your metabolism at mealtime by replacing some carbs with lean, protein-based foods. Some good sources of lean protein include white meat chicken, tofu, beans, nuts, eggs, and lean beef.
Get it Going with Green Tea
Drinking green tea revs up your metabolism for at least two hours. Some studies report an increase in metabolism lasting up to four hours. Green tea offers the combined calorie burning benefits of caffeine (a stimulant) and catechins (powerful antioxidants).
Supercharge with Lipotropic Compounds
Adding fat burning supplements can supercharge your metabolism. Lipotropic compounds are nutrients and micronutrients that not only speed up metabolism; even better, they speed up fat burning and fat elimination. We recommend supplementing with Sculpt Away Intense Fat Burner™ and Sculpt Away Slender Sleep™. Simply add these natural combination select B Vitamins and Amino Acids to shortcut your way to burning more calories and fat.
Build Muscle to Get on the Fast Track
Muscle burns three times as many calories than fat burns. But we lose 3% to 5% of our muscle mass each decade starting at age 30. That could amount as much as a 10% loss of muscle mass by the time you reach 50. Add strength building to your routine to build muscle mass. Did you know that after just one session of strength training and activating your muscles, you raise your metabolic rate?
Give it a Boost with Black Coffee
Coffee gives your metabolism a serious boost. The stimulant from the caffeine makes you feel energized and gives you a better focus. It can make you feel less tired and fatigued. Coffee can be a great assist for better endurance when you exercise.
Elevate with a Workout
Aerobic exercise steps up your metabolism for hours after your workout. But you need to push yourself. Research tells us that you need short bursts of moderate-intensity activity to really turn it up. So try jumping rope, an intense class at the gym or run for short bursts during your walk.
Kick it Up with Water
Did you know that even if you’re mildly dehydrated, your metabolism slows down? Your body needs water to break down calories and metabolize fat. Studies have shown that those who drank 8 glasses of water a day burned more calories than those who drank 4. We recommend drinking, at a minimum, ½ your weight in ounces of water each day. Example: You weigh 150 pounds. You should drink at least 75 ounces of water every day.
Boosting metabolism is every woman’s desire. Since you’ve learned what you’re up against as a woman, you know you must find ways to rev it up. Follow these 7 steps to help trim away the pounds.
