Get moving with some exercise right when you wake up to boost your metabolism. It doesn’t have to be a full-on workout if that’s not your thing, but you should do at least five minutes of exercise or stretch to get that metabolic rate going right away. Stronger muscles also increase the metabolic rate, so try to fit in a couple of muscle-building exercises like pushups or situps. It’s best if you can also do a workout later in the day that will help build muscle if you don’t have time in the morning.</span></span></div> </li> </ol> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ol start="2" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eat breakfast. Your body needs to be properly fueled to help boost your metabolism in the morning, so eat a healthy meal to support it. Make sure you are filling up on food that will keep you satisfied and energized, like protein and fiber. Try something with eggs and other protein-filled ingredients like a filling ham 'n quinoa hash with baked eggs. Learn more about what to include and avoid in power breakfasts on my blog.</span></span></div> </li> </ol> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ol start="3" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drink caffeine. Have a nice cup of coffee or tea in the morning! The caffeine will help boost your metabolism as you are waking up. If you need flavor in your coffee, try adding some cinnamon and a dash of milk. Try to keep it to one cup in the morning, so you don’t risk dehydration. I know how difficult that can be; I love coffee, too! Just remember to savor that one glorious cup per day. </span></span></div> </li> </ol> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ol start="4" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drink Water. To help boost your metabolism, drink a large glass of water every morning when you wake up. After a night of sleep, your body will need some extra hydration to start burning calories and producing energy. Add a twist of lemon and lime to give it a little extra flavor! Or, there are plenty of other options to add some extra flavor to your water.</span></span></div> </li> </ol> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <ol start="5" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pack your food.

8 metabolism boosters for fat loss

Your metabolism – more specifically, your metabolic rate – is how quickly your body is burning calories. So if you’re trying to lose weight, raising your metabolic rate means you’ll see results faster.<br> Here’s a short list of some of the easiest (and maybe some not-so-easy) triggers that you can get working on your behalf beginning today!<br> <h3> 1. Fidget</h3> Are you one of those knee jigglers? Do you tap your toes all day long? Twirl a pencil? Chew gum? Maybe you should try, because just that tiny difference is one more way to add a constant source of energy burn that could add up to as much as 300 to 400 calories per day.<br> <h3> <img alt="Cold-Drink" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1299" height="150" src="http://honestworkoutreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Cold-Drink-150x150.jpg" title="Cold-Drink" width="150">2. Drink cold drinks</h3> Would you believe your body has to work to warm up those cold beverages? Every little bit counts. Water or a low-sugar sports rehydrator is best.<br> <h3> 3. Eat spicy foods</h3> Research shows that spicy meals take longer and make your body work harder for up to 30 minutes after you eat. They also help you feel more satisfied, sooner. Which means you may be eating less!<br> <h3> 4. Increase protein in your diet</h3> Protein is the hardest macronutrient for your body to digest, and you burn more energy in digesting it. So add lean protein to every meal and snack, especially if you’re indulging in a highly-processed or “cheat” food.<br> <h3> 5. Drink more water</h3> When you aren’t properly hydrated, your entire system, including your metabolism, slows down. If you’re bored by plain water, add a squeeze of lemon juice, or a different type of fresh citrus (grapefruit, lime, orange).<br> <h3> 6. Enjoy a little caffeine</h3> No, it’s not all wicked. A cup of coffee or hot tea in the morning can not only perk you up, it also gives a little boost to your metabolism. Just avoid all the milk, creamers, sugars, and other additives, or you’ll be clogging up your system and packing on the pounds instead.<br> <h3> <img alt="Avoid-diet-soda" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1302" height="150" src="http://honestworkoutreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/avoid-diet-soda-150x150.jpg" title="Avoid-diet-soda" width="150">7. Cut out diet sodas</h3> Just because it’s calorie free doesn’t mean it’s a good choice. The chemical sweeteners in diet drinks can increase food and fat cravings, which makes it hard for you to stick to healthy choices.<br> <h3> 8. Get plenty of sleep</h3> A lack of sleep can elevate your levels of cortisol, which is a hormone that makes you feel hungrier and slows your metabolism.
