The diet industry is a
multi-million dollar industry and of course those companies that profit from
this industry would like to continue making those profits.
So if there was a list of
foods that could actually speed up your metabolism and as a result help you to
lose weight easily, the diet industry will not want you to find out about it.
What if that list of foods
contained the sort of foods that you love to eat – not possible, that would be
going against diet rules wouldn’t it?
After all, don’t all diets
tell you to avoid those foods that you love the most? You should only eat
low fat foods and avoid things like nuts and grains.
You should stay away from
healthy fruits and vegetables because they contain too much natural sugar –
right? Wrong!
If all these super fad
diets were right – eat low-fat foods, eat low-carb foods, eat protein only, eat
cabbage until it comes out your ears – if they were all right, then why are
obesity numbers rising?
The diet experts out there
don’t know all the answers or if they do know, they certainly aren’t telling
you or if they do they will make you pay a hefty price for the information.
People pay hundreds of
dollars to find the right way to lose weight and will still usually fail. So,
instead of spending any more money on the latest weight loss fad, use common
sense.
No matter what type of diet
you are on, the bottom line is that you need to burn more calories than you
eat.
Common sense will tell you that if you keep your calorie intake within a healthy range and do some exercise you should lose weight.
There are some other things
that you can do though to make losing weight easier and maintain a healthy and
nutritious diet and this includes eating foods that give your metabolism a
boost which helps you burn calories faster.
Some foods high on the list
of foods that speed up metabolism are tuna, salmon, and sardines.
These foods are great
sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and heart-healthy fat and they also help to
lower your levels of leptin.
When your leptin hormones
stay in a low range it is much easier to lose weight. So eating more fish
will help to lose weight faster. If you don’t like fish then you can
always take some fish oil supplements instead.
Olive oil is also another good source of Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats to
boost metabolism.
Some other fat burning
foods are the hot and spicy types, like cayenne, habanero and jalapeno peppers. These peppers contain capsaicin which is the substance that makes
them hot.
It is also the substance
that gives your metabolism a big boost for up to three hours after you
eat.
To get the most benefit
from these fat burning foods you can choose lower-fat, good carb spicy dishes.
Whole grains are also great for speeding up the metabolism because they have a
slow digestion rate and they keep your blood sugar levels even.
Cinnamon is another food that has blood sugar regulating properties and can
keep your metabolism running at a high speed.
Then there are the
protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, lean meats and beans that give your body
the much-needed protein that it needs to keep it running smoothly.
Water, although a beverage and not a food will also assist in keeping your
metabolism on high speed.
When you are trying to lose
weight it is important to keep up the recommended daily intake of water to keep
your body operating at peak performance.
Forget about all the new
fad diets around, just change your diet slightly to include some of these super
metabolism foods, add some exercise to your routine and drink lots of water and
I bet you will start to notice a difference in your weight very quickly.
