I know it may sound too good to be true regarding the idea that there are super foods out there which burn fat and boost your metabolism. Well, I’m here to tell you it is true that a combination of these super foods can assist you with weight loss and increase your metabolic rate. So which foods fall into the category of super foods? The list is of some of the foods that are “Super”:
- Blueberries
- Celery
- Grapefruit
- Oranges
- Pumpkin
- Salmon
- Tomatoes
- Walnuts
- Greek Yogurt
Please, please, please note these foods are NOT magical and will not immediately burn fat and increase your metabolism. However, add these foods into your diet while maintaining a fitness plan you will boost your gains. To effectively introduce super foods with an overall fitness program, follow the advice below.
1) BE SMART. EAT SMARTER:- Instead of the traditional three meals a day, break it down to five or six mini-meals. Aim to eat every 3-4 hours. In each of these small meals include some super foods but make sure they do not consist entirely of super foods. Balance is the key when preparing your meals.
2) GET MOVING. INCREASE CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE:- Increasing the amount of cardiovascular exercise you do will help increase your metabolism. This does not mean you have to participate in a ten mile run every day. Try walking to places you would normally drive, playing with your kids or doing some gardening. Anything that makes you a little more active will improve your metabolism.
3) BUILD MUSCLE:- The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn each day and the higher your metabolic rate will become. Again, you do not have to do anything substantial but incorporating some weight lifting into your weekly routine will help boost your metabolism.
