The Faster Weight Loss Blog

To lose more body fat it is a must that you burn more calories than you take in, but that doesn’t mean starving yourself! But without dieting can you make it so your body uses more calories? Sure, if you increase your metabolism, then you change how many calories your body naturally burns in a day. And if you burn more calories then you burn more body fat, especially if you follow a proper diet.

So can you change your metabolism? You better believe it!

One of the easiest ways to make sure you are burning more calories throughout your day is to lift weights Time tight? Don’t let it be an excuse, in fact it takes less than 90 minutes per week to have a great fitness program that will boost your metabolism for up to 48 hours after your workout is over.

For each pound of muscle you have on your body that is an extra 50 calories your body needs. It takes work to keep your muscle happy so if you’re lifting those weights and adding some toned sexy muscle on you will undoubtedly increase your metabolism. Lifting weights is the number one thing to boost metabolism but it isn’t the only thing you can do to increase calorie burn.

The foods you eat is another option But if you think that dieting and counting calories will help burn more calories, you have been mislead. Cutting calories actually slows your metabolism drastically. Drinking coffee and green tea will actually boost your metabolism for hours after you’ve drank is, so if you like your warm drinks in the morning then that’s a great way to start your calorie burning day.

Other metabolism boosting foods include peppers. They contain a chemical called capsaicin which boost your internal metabolic powers. This is the same thing that is responsible for making you sweat when you get the hot stuff. If you love spicy foods now you will love it even more!

Are these excuses to eat more? No…but they will help you lose fat a little easier, especially if you’re following a clean and decent diet. I consider a decent diet one where you eat 90% of the time healthy and give yourself a 10% free gap to enjoy your favorites.
