How Do You Increase A Slow Metabolism?
Does everything you eat go to your hips, or thighs, or tummy? Are you convinced you have the dreaded “slow metabolism”? The good news is with a little patience and change in lifestyle habits you can give that slow metabolism a boost. Here’s how to increase a slow metabolism. Understand that you may not actually have a slow metabolism. Most people eat more food than they’re aware of. You may be convinced that you eat like a bird, but those little snacks and free samples at the grocery store add up. Try keeping a food diary and get a handle on how many calories you’re actually consuming each day. Make sure it’s appropriate for your age, height, and activity level. A food diary can really put things into focus. Make sure you don’t have a medical reason for a slow metabolism. An underactive thyroid, medications, and other metabolic problems can cause weight gain for no apparent reason. Rule out these conditions before you blame it on your metabolism. Start drinking green tea or oolong tea.
