Besides exercising regularly and getting plenty of rest, selecting the right foods can also stimulate your metabolism and give your weight loss a boost. Integrating these food and drink choices into the healthy dietary choices outlined in the TAIslim Ultimate Food Plan will boost your metabolism and improve your weight loss results.
- Pick apples and pears. A Brazilian study showed that women who ate three small apples or pears daily lost more weight than women who did not.
- Branch out. Broccoli, in addition to being one of the calcium-rich foods, is high in vitamins A, C and K, fiber, folate, and antioxidants. It’s also a superb detox food.
- More than milk. Calcium-rich foods may raise metabolism thus burning more calories. Plus calcium intake may prevent fat storage. Consume low-fat dairy items like skim milk and yogurt, as well as calcium-rich spinach, white beans, almonds, or take a calcium supplement.
- Make it hot. Fiery peppers like jalapeno, hatch and habanero have metabolism-boosting power and reduce cravings. Studies have shown that eating hot peppers can boost the metabolism by up to 25%, with the spike lasting for up to 3 hours. Muy bueno!
- Something is fishy. Omega-3 foods contain acids that reduce leptin, a hormone that lowers metabolism. So the more omega-3 foods you consume like fish and vegetables, the more you are doing to reduce leptin; thereby, increasing your metabolism.
- Spice it up. The more pungent the spice, the more it can speed up your metabolism (i.e. black pepper, mustard seed, powdered onion, ginger, curry powder).
- Wholey Carbs! Whole grains are loaded with nutrients and complex carbohydrates that speed up metabolism and keep our insulin levels low so our body doesn’t store extra fat. Brown rice and oatmeal are smart choices.
- It’s easy being green. Green tea extract increases metabolism and also rich in antioxidants for improved health.
- H2O yeah. Purified water is a natural appetite suppressant and detoxifier.
