Everyone who tries to lose weight will eventually ask themselves: how to speed up metabolism? Diet is of great importance in slimming, but also how and in what quantities we eat. However, there are people who eat a lot and still do not gain weight. Women who watch their weight look with envy and disbelief at their friends who eat twice as much as they do and still stay slim. The answer lies in a fast metabolism – this is the key to proper weight loss.
Even if you are not so lucky and your metabolism is quite low, you can try to turn it up a bit. How to understand the essence of metabolism? Fat is something like stored energy. When we touch adipose tissue, it can be felt that it is slightly isolated from other tissues, as if “foreign” to the body. Often people who are very overweight or obese cannot lose weight because they make the mistake of trying low-calorie, drastic diets. The key to a slim figure, however, lies in how quickly our body will burn the food we eat.
Simple methods to boost your metabolism:
Eat often but in small amounts – if you use the rule that you eat once, then give it up quickly. This way of eating stretches your stomach and won’t make you feel hungry all day. This is why most dietitians and doctors stress the importance of eating often, but in small amounts. The norm for your stomach is food with a capacity of 200ml, which is less than a glass.
Stop starving – low-calorie diets exhaust the body. Nothing slows down your metabolism like fasting. In addition, it is a quick way to the yo-yo effect, and once the metabolism slows down, it is difficult to restore it to its previous “possibilities”. For normal functioning, your body needs energy. The minimum daily calories you consume should be 1200 kcal.
Bet on protein – meat, cheese, fish, poultry. It is good especially for dinner, because the body needs twice as many calories to process protein than to process carbohydrates.

In addition to water, it is good to reach for green tea, which accelerates the burning of calories for the next two hours, and black coffee (one cup without milk speeds up the metabolism for 4 hours).
Take alternating showers – hot and cold water alternately acts as a thermal massage.
