Seven Ways to Sabotage Your Metabolism

Your body is smart!  When you regularly eat less fuel than you burn, your body can make itself even more efficient by lowering how many calories it needs.

This can happen if:

1) you exercise a lot and don’t ramp up your food intake to match it;

2) you undereat every day, or

3) go on a lot of diets.

Research shows that eating regular meals throughout the day with NO SNACKING is linked with a greater “thermic effect of food” – i.e., more calories burned after eating.

Plus, leaving 4-6 hours between meals and NO SNACKING allows your liver to do its fat-burning job much more efficiently.

Strength training helps boost your metabolism in a couple of different ways.

Over the long run, it helps build muscle, and muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue.

But it also has an immediate benefit: it raises your metabolism for hours after your workout is finished.

Not getting enough sleep is like a triple whammy on your metabolism. 

• When you’re tired you’re not as active, which means a lower daily calorie burn
• You tend to eat more when you’re sleep-deprived because it messes up your hunger hormones and makes you crave high-calorie foods
• Your body has a harder time managing blood sugar and cortisol levels when you’re low on sleep, which can make you store fat

Being sedentary – i.e., not getting up to move around every half-hour or so — is linked with a slower metabolism.

Time for that standing desk! 

6.  You don’t eat enough protein

Not only does protein keep you feeling full after you eat it, but it also helps you build metabolism-boosting muscle.

Plus, digesting it burns more calories than digesting carbs or fat does.

Some guidelines: aim for 1 gram of protein for every pound of your lean body mass (that's 2.2 grams per kilogram of your lean body mass).

Calculate that HERE be sure to send me an email if you'd like me to walk you through the process.

It’s true!  Stress can LOWER your metabolism.

An Ohio State University study found that women burned fewer calories after they ate a high-fat meal when they were stressed.

Just another reason it’s so important to have a plan to regularly blow off stress, like working out, meditating, or relaxing hobbies!
