Give Your Metabolism a Protein Boost

Eat More Protein

Are you looking for an easy way to boost your weight loss program? Did you know that eating protein raises  your metabolism and helps your body to burn twice as many calories as when you eat fat or carbohydrates?

To get the most metabolism boosting benefits, replace some of the starchy carbs on your plate - like rice, potatoes and bread with lean protein-rich foods like lean beef and pork, fish, chicken, soy and beans. Don’t forget about eggs and dairy products, particularly for breakfast and for a fast, healthy snack, try a handful of nuts. And don’t skip on the fruit and vegetables. The fiber and good carbs they contain will add fuel to your calorie burning machine!

Jump Start Your Metabolism Every Morning

Looking to give your metabolism a jump start? Don’t skip the most important meal of the day!

Starting your day with a healthy breakfast is the best thing you can do to get your metabolism off and running. When you haven’t eaten in several hours (or overnight), your body adapts to having less calories to work with and your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. Skipping breakfast keeps your metabolism in conservation mode throughout the day. But if you eat a light breakfast of some protein and carbs within 30 minutes of rising, your metabolism gets an early morning kick start that lasts all day long.

For a quick and easy breakfast, try a parfait of low-fat yogurt, layered with granola and dried fruit. This great tasting breakfast is filled with protein, fiber and good carbs that will get you off to a great start!
