eat healthy and do not worry about eating more than you should

We all know that one person who eats a lot and never gains weight!

Do you feel that the older you get, the less you eat, the more weight you gain? You are not alone, and we have the solution! In this part 1, we’ll explain how to speed up your metabolism and what types of meals can help you educate and maintain a good metabolism.

 

How you may be slowing down your metabolism unknowingly

Every coin has two sides, and the flip side of speeding up your metabolism is slowing it down. If you are not pooping at least once a day, you might be doing things that decelerate your metabolism without even realizing it!

 

Some of the things that may be slowing down your metabolism are:

  • Eating Poorly –  Treats are alright. Just make sure they are organic, healthy, natural foods. Avoid high processed fat foods. We know they taste glorious, so learn how to make them yourself with better ingredients.
  • Not Enough Sleep – If your body is exhausted then the efficiency with which it burns calories goes down the toilet. A well-rested body is more efficient. And setting alarms when it’s bed time is just common sense.
  • Being Stressed Out – Stress causes high levels of a hormone called cortisol in your body, which leads to belly fat. Exercise and enough sleep make cortisol levels in the body drop. For high-stress lifestyles, we recommend a yearly or quarterly major holistic detox package.
  • Dieting –Strict dieting can lead to lower metabolism. Avoid fad diets and super low-calorie diets. Low-calorie diets cause your body to switch to starvation mode, your metabolism slows down to keep you from burning too many calories, then when you eat again your body stores the calories as fat. Fad diets may work in the short-term, but the true path to a healthier you is to improve your overall eating habits at a comfortable pace.
  • A Toxic Body – The accumulation of toxins in the body slows down the metabolism because the body has to work extra hard to eliminate these toxins on a daily basis. Again, we recommend a yearly or quarterly major holistic detox package if you live in a city or have a high-demand job.

 

Some people are the victims of an under-active thyroid, adrenal burnout, or unfortunate family genetics that lead to weight gain, but there are still ways to speed up your metabolism, even if you are genetically predisposed to carrying more weight than you would like.
