Need to speed up your metabolism quickly? Over the 6 years I’ve been struggling to lose the tire around my stomach, I went from one of those poor saps looking for a magic bullet to finally figuring out how to effectively burn fat throughout the WHOLE day – and it all came down to keeping my metabolism rate high all day long! So how did I do it?

Below are the 5 steps that you need to speed up your metabolism rate quickly. I use them daily, and I recommend copying them down and start living by them – you’ll be amazed how quickly the rolls start to fall off your bones when you incorporate these steps into your daily lifestyle. I also included a superfood I love that burns up to an extra pound of fat per week just because you eat it while adding flavour to dull meals 
First, the 4 steps you can start taking today to speed up your metabolism significantly by next week!
#1- Understand how your metabolism works.
To understand how your metabolism works, you just have to know what it really is. Your metabolism is the amount of energy or calories that your body burns to maintain its vital functions throughout the day. Not just when you’re exercising either – but when you’re shopping, sleeping, even as you’re sitting reading these steps now, your body is burning calories to maintain itself!
The metabolic rate depends on your body composition. Muscle requires more energy to maintain itself daily than fat does, so the more muscle you have, the higher your usual metabolism is!
Your metabolic rate can be manipulated based on how often you eat, the FOODS you eat, and your exercise (hint: cardio isn’t the best way to lose fat) – so now that you understand what metabolism is, here’s how you’re going to boost it!
#2 – Stop starving and start eating 5 – 6 meals EVERY day.
If you’re confused, our old friend Mr. Science explains the logic behind this.
When you eat food, your metabolism rises in response to the food to break it down into nutrients usable by the body. By eating 5-6 meals throughout your day – you basically fool your body into a CONSTANT fat burning state for throughout the day! And whenever it burns off your daily eaten calories – it moves on to your fat reserves, which when you finally start seeing the inches burning off your waist.
The myth that eating throughout the day is bad started BECAUSE people usually snack on total crap 99% of the time. Chocolate, donuts and chips. If people started eating that 5-6 times a day instead of just 1-2, health problems would rise very quickly.
Therefore, you have to watch what you’re putting into your 5-6 daily meals. If you can part with Twinkies, the benefits are a faster metabolism rate and never feeling hungry throughout the day! A great trade-off – in my opinion!
#3 – Eat HEALTHY Fats And Plenty Of Protein!
You’re probably thinking, “Oh no, here she goes again telling me something totally ridiculous like eating fat helps raise my metabolism,” - but Mr. Science is here to save the day yet again!
You’ve probably already stumbled upon the terms “good fats” and “bad fats”. Well, the good fats (Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids) that come from fish, eggs, milk and nuts regulate the levels of a hormone called leptin, which is directly responsible for the speed of your metabolism rate and the point at which your body starts to store calories as fat. This means the more healthy fats you eat – the higher your metabolism will stay at!
If you hate fish like I do, there are plenty of alternatives, you can even get it in capsule form! (Though I don’t recommend capsules, whole foods have the antioxidants you’d miss if you only took pills)
If you’ve ever heard of the Atkins diet, that’s what it’s based off. Now, I don’t recommend that you start making bacon, eggs and steak 100% of your daily diet – but studies prove that adding an extra 20% of protein to your diet directly results in an extra 5% higher fat burn right away… so you have a choice between burning MORE fat and enjoying steak and pork chops, or GAINING fat from a disgusting processed pizza. An easy choice, if you ask me!And as far as protein goes – your body spends more energy digesting and converting it than carbs or fats. American nutritional journals have shown that you burn TWICE the calories digesting protein than fats or carbs.
#4 – Exercise Is Important, But Cardio Is For Suckers!
Whether it’s swimming, running, biking or walking, cardio does speed up your metabolism rate for HOURS after you finish – and I can’t argue with that. But did you know that your metabolism increases for 1-2 DAYS after a weight training workout?
This is true because your body maintains the elevated metabolic rate during the recovery period your muscles go through after the trauma from the weight lifting – which generally takes 24-48 hours. This means that if you hate cardio – you can easily eliminate it by combining proper whole/unprocessed foods with 3-4 weekly 45 minute weight lifting sessions!
Finally – Here’s the fat-destroying superfood I love to eat!
Ready to learn the superfood you can start eating today to burn an extra 300-500 calories every day with no extra work?
The delicious solution is hot peppers! It’s all because of “capsaicin”, the substance that gives peppers their “hotness”. You’ve probably noticed your heart rate increase or felt a little warm the last time you ate something spicy – and studies show that hot peppers (or anything moderately spicy) will raise your metabolism up to 25% for a WHOLE 3 hours!
That means all you have to do to start losing an extra pound of fat per week is to start adding a little spicy hot pepper in with a daily meal. You can test this starting TODAY without any extra effort – and see the improved metabolism results by next week!
Remember to write down and re-read the 4 steps I outlined – I swear making these simple changes to your daily life will yield greater results than anything else you’ve previously tried to speed up your metabolism.
