If you're a woman over 30, you may have found that your metabolism doesn't seem to be as fast as it was.
One of the problems I find in working with women over 30 is that they don't exercise as much as they used to, eat fat-burning foods, and use proper supplements.
There are many ways that you can turbo-charge your metabolism to start burning more fat.
Here are the 4 Secrets to rebuild your sluggish metabolism:
Secret #1 Making sure that you eat more frequently throughout your day at least every 3 hours. I find so many women eating only 2 meals a day which will slow down the metabolism and decrease energy levels. By eating throughout the day, your body will start to burn more fat instantly and help boost your energy levels. The best fat burning meals are ones that contain a lean protein, small amount of fats, and carbohydrates.
Fat-burning foods should be eaten everyday. I give women the top fat burning foods so they can take control of their metabolism. Some of these foods would be things like chicken, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Foods that are unprocessed have a different affect on your body and will help you to burn more fat 3-4 times faster.
Secret #3 Supplementing with EFA's (essential fatty acids). Taking 1 tablespoon a day of flax seed oil, fish oil, linseed oil, safflower oil, or evening primrose oil are some of the best sources. Your body does not produce essential fatty acids and it's important to take them daily so that your body is healthy.
Secret #4 Exercise. It's a good idea to incorporate both weight training and cardio to increase your metabolic function. Most women I find just do cardiovascular which is good, but if you really want to turbo-charge your metabolism you need to do weight training too.
I recommend at least 3 times a week. Weight training helps tone and sculpt your whole body and creates more lean muscle. To create a faster metabolism, you need to increase your lean muscle. Workouts for women are crucial in speeding up your metabolism and also being able to eat more calories. If you want to have your favorite foods like pizza and ice cream, you can easily have these once a week, by setting up your fat loss program up correctly.
You will find after you start to implement these 4 secrets that your body will become leaner and you will have more energy. Many women give up hope after they turn 30, that they can't have the body they want. This is not true, it takes the right information and the the right application to get results.
