In order to boost your metabolism, it is important to stimulate fat burning through exercise. If you also pay attention to a healthy diet and choose the "right" foods, you will achieve faster results.
Small portions
When improving your metabolism, it is advisable to avoid heavy meals. However, it is not advisable to give your body too few calories, as it will then automatically go into "starvation mode" and store as much fat as possible. Several small portions spread throughout the day are therefore ideal.
Fruit, vegetables and salads are particularly suitable. Unroasted or unsalted nuts and seeds are also attractive options for boosting the metabolism. Millet products and quinoa are also safe to eat.
Additional nutritional tips
The following methods can be of good support for improving metabolism:
- A glass of water with a splash of lemon or apple cider vinegar and a hot ginger tea before breakfast stimulate the metabolism.
- Soluble fiber combines with water and swells the intestines, creating an intense feeling of satiety.
- Choose foods with high nutrient density such as grains or lean meats.
- A diet rich in vitamin C through oranges or apples promotes weight loss.
Lots of exercise through sport
Sport increases the proportion of muscle mass in the body. This results in an increase in the basal metabolic rate, which means that more energy is required - even during rest periods. Light strengthening exercises for the stomach or bottom are completely sufficient in this case.
