It’s a common fact that you burn fat by burning more calories than you consume. There are 2 ways of creating this caloric deficit one is by decreasing the calories you consume and the other is by exercising.

What we´re going to talk about today is exercising

Increasing The Basal Metabolism For Fat Loss.

The burning of calories in your body is called metabolism and there are 2 types of metabolism

1.   Anabolism
2.   Catabolism

Anabolism

Anabolism makes new cells grow, stores energy (mainly fat for future use), and also repairs and maintains tissues.

Catabolism

Catabolism does the opposite of anabolism; it provides the body of immediate energy by breaking down nutrient molecules for energy.

Catabolism is divided into three components.

1.    Basal Metabolism: Approximately 70% of your consumed calories is used for Basal Metabolism, also called resting metabolism. The Basal Metabolism is making sure your body functions normally.

2.    Physical movement and other daily activities: Exercising or other daily activities such as walking, or small things such as lifting your hand, or vacuum cleaning and so on are good for using 20-30% of the calories you consume.

3.    Thermic effect of food: 10% of the calories you consume is used for the digestion and processing of the food you eat.

And this is how it looks like:

Calories consumed = basal metabolism 70% + Physical Movement 20-30% + Thermic effect of food 10%

From Low Metabolism And Fat To High Metabolism And Thin

Now, for burning fat the most important of these 3 components is of course the Basal Metabolism.

Overweight people usually have a low to very low Basal Metabolism and therefore keep storing fat for future use as energy.

Increasing the Basal Metabolism with the right metabolism boosting exercises and a healthy meal plan will result in fat loss, there just isn’t any option for you body than to burn fat.

Exercise Just 3 Days A Week For 1 Hour And Still Burn Fat Whole Day Long.

We all know that fat is burned by exercising, unfortunately most people are doing the wrong exercises and end up not burning enough fat and eventually they quit because they think they’re doomed and can’t burn any fat.

What I want you to understand is that you can burn the maximum amount of fat with the least amount of time.

The key for increasing your Basal Metabolism with exercising is the amount of lean muscle you have and gain.

Lean muscle is very expensive for your body and it needs a lot of calories to maintain it, therefore the more lean muscle you have the higher your Basal metabolism will be.

You gain lean muscle by strength training or weight lifting.

Before I go on with weight lifting I want to tell all the women reading this that you don’t have to be afraid of getting real big muscles like a bodybuilder or whatever because you won’t. Women have a different body type than man and don’t have the hormonal response for building huge muscles. As a matter of fact the lean muscles you do gain will make you actually look great because the muscles will give definition to the beautiful women shape.

Increase The Metabolism Twice As Fast

In weight lifting there are 2 types of exercises which are multi-joint exercises and single-joint exercises.

For boosting your metabolism the multi-joint exercises are where your focus should be and the single-joint exercises are actually a waste of time if your goal is to burn fat.

Multi-joint exercises are exercises where 2 or more muscles are used to perform a movement.

The benefit of these exercises is that you train more muscles and thus your metabolism increases more because it has to repair more muscles.

With just 3 days a week for 1 hour a day you can increase your metabolism drastically and burn the fat off provided that you’re eating right.

What you should do now to start today with boosting your metabolism is sign up for free to get your workout plan with exercises and begin taking action today.

I sure as hell believe you can!! As longs as you follow this advice to the letter.

What you have to do is compound exercises – 45 minutes for 3 or 4 days a week. This is the most effective way to burn body fat and as soon as that’s done your abs will be visible and that’s really all there is to it.

whatever you do it’s okay as long as you’re doing compound exercises, if it’s not you’re waisting your time.

What Are Compound Exercises?

In weight lifting there are 2 types of exercises: compound movements and isolation exercises.

Isolation exercises are the ones you shouldn’t focus on if your goals is to burn fat, with isolation exercises there is only one single joint movement through a range of motion during the exercise and only one muscle is being worked.

Good example is a dumbbell curl which involves the elbow and biceps.

Compound exercises, however, are exercises that will get you lean and a six pack.

They are multi-joint movements and rely on the work of 2 or more muscle groups to move 2 or more joints through a range of motion.

The Big Secret Of Compound Exercises

So, in the same time where you would exercises one muscle with an isolation exercises, let’s say situps for the abs, you could have worked out more muscle groups in your body with a compound movement such as squats.

With squats you work out the calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, your back and a lot of small stabilizing muscles which help you to do the movement.

This is a real full body workout that will increase your fat burning hormones and metabolic rate after the workout and you’ll keep burning calores for up to two days.

Therefore it’s enough to workout just 3 days a week. One day on one day off.

An effective workout plan that consist of several compound movements will make you stronger and burn fat.

Example workoutplan:

Monday: cardio and compound movement for chest, triceps and shoulders
tuesday: cardio only
wednesday: cardio and compound movements for your lower body, quads, glutes, calves and hamstrings
thursday: cardio only
friday: cardio for your back and biceps and about 5 minutes of ab exercises to make your abs stronger.
saturday and sunday rest days

Cardio should be done everyday to maximize your fat loss.

In addition to multi-joint exercises or compound movements there are also single joint exercise, also called isolation exercises such as barbell curls, dumbbell curls crunches or sit-up, but we’re not going to talk about those.

Compound movements target larger and more muscles groups in your body and make you burn more calories than a single joint exercise would, hence why ab exercises are a waste of time if your goal is to lose stomach fat.

Now check out these great exercises for getting a lean body as fast as possible.

1. Squats

The squat is one of the best exercises to get a lean, muscular or toned body. The squat is one of the exercises the works out a lot of muscles in your body.

2. Deadlifts

Another exercises from the top exercises next to the squat is the deadlift, the deadlifts is a lifting exercises and you’ve probably done a deadlift a lot of times in your lift, it looks the same as if your’re lifting something from the ground.

Do this exercises with a barbell to get a lean body and there’s no way you can’t get lean and burn excess stomach fat.

3. Snatches

If you’re already working out and can’t seem to burn any fat it’s most likely because you aren’t doing snatch exercises.

With snatches you’re lifting a weight from the ground all the way over your head, for a movement like this your body is again making use of large muscle groups in your body which inevitably results in a lot of calories to be burn during and especially after the workout.

Maximum fat loss

The key of these exercises for burning lots of calories very fast is the increased Resting Metabolic Rate due to the large muscle groups you have worked out. The more muscles you workout the higher your RMR and the more calories you’ll burn, of course you’ll need to eat right as well for maximum results.

Then, what is the price?

It’s quite a bit to get overwhelmed by but not something you can’t do. I believe you first have to believe in yourself and your goals. You need to believe you can become slim, lose weight get a flat stomach and more importantly keep the weight off.

You have to start doing something and it doesn’t matter how small that something is, it’s important to act. Write your goals down, how much you want to weigh. Find pictures of people you wish you looked like and hang them on your mirror so you’ll never forget your goal.

Writing your goals down looks like something small but if you can’t even do that, whether you believe it’s something good for or not, you are doomed to failure.

You will have to make sacrifices. No more junk food, no more typical American diet eating 3 meals a day, no more sitting on the couch watching television.

And it will cost you a lot of time working out, at least 45 minutes for 3 days a week whether you’re working out at home or at the gym.

Only you can decide if the price you pay is worth it.

All I know is that if you pay the price for a few months, a year or more- depends on your goals, the rewards will be priceless for the decades to come after you pay the price.

I hope you will pay the price and reap the benefits of what you pay for.

“Burn 30 lbs in 3 weeks – no diet!”

“Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days!”

“Lose a pound a day without diet or exercise!”

“Lose 2 pounds a day without dieting!”

“Lose 30 pounds In 30 Days!”

“Lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks!”

“Burn 30 lbs in 25 days!”

“Lose 10 Pounds This Weekend!”

ANSWER: (1) They are all FALSE, (2) they are all DECEPTIVE…

I just did an Internet search for “how fast should you lose weight” and these are just a small sample of ACTUAL ADS that are running this very moment. They sure are enticing, aren’t they? They play on your emotions and on your desire for instant gratification.

But did you know that…

(3) these claims are all actually ILLEGAL, says the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

“We have known for some time now that there is a serious problem with weight-loss product advertising,” said FTC Chairman Timothy J. Muris. “Reputable marketers continue to take care to avoid false and misleading claims, but it appears that too many unscrupulous marketers are making false claims promising dramatic and effortless weight loss to sell their products. It is not fair to consumers; it is not fair to legitimate businesses, it is illegal, and it will not be tolerated.”

You might be asking, “Ummm, if it will not be tolerated, then why do we keep seeing these ads?” Ah yes, well, God bless the Internet, On Google, you can put up an ad and have it showing in 15 minutes. You can then have it taken down just as fast. Same goes for websites. The FTC couldn’t keep up with OFFLINE false advertising, how are they possibly going to keep up with it ONLINE??? And it’s only going to get worse.

There’s only so much the FTC and other consumer watchdog organizations can do. It’s up to YOU to educate YOURSELF and know the red flags and warning signs of bogus weight loss claims.

Here’s what else the FTC says about why these types of advertising claims are so damaging:

• “The deceptive promotion of quick and easy weight loss solutions potentially fuels unrealistic expectations on the part of consumers. consumers who believe that it really is possible to lose a pound (of fat) a day may quickly lose interest in losing a pound a week.”
• “The proliferation of “fast and easy” fixes undermines the reality of what it takes to lose weight. People who need to lose weight are buying empty promises.”

I believe that the weight loss education industry has been knocked a few steps backward in the last few years due to (1) the internet and (2) the horrendous reality TV shows that actually encourage people to attempt “extreme” body makeovers or see who can lose weight the fastest. The winners (or shall we say, the “losers”, as if that’s a flattering title to earn), are rewarded generously with fortune, fame and congratulations.

These shows are damaging and despicable. I’m shocked that so many millions tune in and I’m even more surprised how many people think this garbage is “inspiring.”

Let’s face it. Everyone wants to get the fat off as quickly as possible – and having that desire is not wrong – it’s simply human nature. Patience is the one thing you never seem to have when you’ve got a body fat problem. You want the fat gone and you want it gone now!

Like the FTC said, with what we see on TV these days and with web page after web page of fast weight loss claims, you actually start to believe it’s doable and you’re no longer interested in a healthy 1-2 lbs weight loss per week. In fact, you even see people with your own eyes losing weight incredibly fast. How do you deny it’s possible when you see THAT?

Well, the answer comes to you when you expand your time perspective and see where those people are 6, 12, 18 months from now. Deep in your heart, you KNOW the answer…

The faster you lose weight, the more muscle you will lose right along with the fat, and that can really mess up your metabolism.

An even bigger problem with fast weight loss is that it just won’t last. The faster you lose, the more likely you are to gain it back. It’s the the “yo-yo diet effect” – weight goes down, but always comes back up.

What Really Matters Is Not How Much WEIGHT You Lose, But How Much FAT You Lose

Where did your weight loss come from? Did you lose body fat or lean body mass? “Weight” is not the same as “fat.” Weight includes muscle, bone, internal organs as well as lots and lots of water…

Don’t Be Fooled By Water Weight Losses

One thing you should also know is that it’s very common to lose 3 – 5 pounds in the first week on nearly any diet and exercise program and often even more on low carb diets (because low carb diets deplete glycogen and every gram of glycogen holds 3 grams of water). Just remember, its NOT all fat – WATER LOSS IS NOT FAT LOSS – AND WATER LOSS IS TEMPORARY!

The only way to know if you’ve actually lost FAT is with body composition testing. For home body fat self-testing, I recommend the Accu-Measure skinfold caliper as first choice. Even better, get a multi site skinfold caliper test from an experienced tester at a health club, or even an underwater (hydrostatic) or air (bod pod) displacement test.

From literally hundreds of client case studies, I can confirm that it’s rare to lose more than 2 to 3 lbs of weight per week without losing some muscle along with it. If you lose muscle, you are damaging your metabolism and this will lead to a plateau and ultimately to weight relapse.

The Biggest Weight Loss Mistake That Is FATAL To Your Long Term Success

Lack of patience is one of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to losing body fat. If you want to lose FAT, not muscle, and if you want to keep the fat off for good, then you have to take off the pounds slowly (of course, if you want to crash diet the weight off fast, lose muscle with the fat and gain all the fat back later, be my guest!).

This is one of the toughest lessons that overweight men and women have to learn – and they can be very hard learners. They fight kicking and screaming, insisting that they CAN and they MUST lose it faster.

Then you have these TV shows that encourage the masses that rapid, crash weight loss is okay. To the producers of these shows, I say SHAME ON YOU! To the personal trainers, registered dieticians and medical doctors who are associated with these programs, I say DOUBLE SHAME ON YOU, because you of all people should know better. These shows are not “motivating” or “inspiring” – they are DAMAGING! They are a DISGRACE!

The rapid weight loss being promoted by the media for the sake of ratings and by the weight loss companies for the sake of profits makes it even harder for legitimate fitness and nutrition professionals because our clients say, “But look at so and so on TV – he lost 26 pounds in a week!”

Sure, but 26 pounds of WHAT – and do you have any idea what the long term consequences are?

Short term thinking… foolish.

Do it the right way. The healthy way. Take off pounds slowly, and steadily with a sensible lifestyle program like my Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle system that includes the important elements of cardio training, strength training and proper nutrition.

Measure your body fat, not just your body weight, and make this a new lifestyle, not a race, and you will never have to take the pounds off again, because they will be gone forever the first time.

About the Author:

Losing weight is not an easy thing to do but it is doable with dedication and could easily change your life for the better when you know exactly what to do.

Most common reasons why most people never lose weight is because they think losing weight is a fast process they think like “I’ll just eat less and step on a treadmill a few days and the pounds will go of” or “If I starve myself with some of those low fat or low carb diets I will lose weight in record time”.

But losing weight is not

- Eating everything low fat or low carb
- Eating less than you do now
- Doing hundreds of crunches
- Walking 30 minutes a day
- Exercising every day
- Sitting on the couch with an ab-belt
- And many more misconceptions

Even though some of the above misconceptions about weight loss can be good such as walking 30 minutes a day it’s still not the best way to lose weight because it will take you years of walking to become lean. Exercising every day can be counterproductive as well if you’re doing the wrong exercises, there’s nothing good about exercising every day if you’re doing the wrong exercises.

Also, doing a low fat or low carb diet isn’t the way to go either even though people do lose weight with these diets, unfortunately it’s not fat they are burning but lean muscle and water and this is very bad because you’ll for sure gain weight again when you start eating normal again.

To truly lose weight, have a lean body, feel extremely healthy and have the body you really for the rest of your life there’s only one thing to do and that’s changing your lifestyle.

With instructions in a strict, honest step by step system to change your lifestyle to change the way you eat and exercise it all becomes a lot easier because you exactly know what to do.

Step by step system

- how to eat
- what to eat
- how much to eat
- how to exercise
- when to exercise
- what kind of exercises to do

Do you think such a step by step system could work for you? Do you think you could follow such a system and get the results you want?

I believe you can.

Diet And Common Sense

If a diet tells you not to eat some types of food but your common sense tells you that you actually should be eating it I suggest you listen to common sense.

Because most often that common sense comes from your mother who always told you when you where young to eat your vegetables and probably meat as well.

For the best and fastest results in your weight loss you need to create a calorie deficit with eating the right foods and of course exercising.

Creating a calorie deficit with the proper diet will not make you hungry every day.

When you’re on a diet and you feel hungry I can tell you right now you’re not eating right and you WILL have a hard time losing weight. Common sense.

What I personally learned from the Diet Solution Program is if it’s natural, grows or occurs in the nature you’re free to eat it. If it’s artificial such as frozen meals, cookies, artificial sweeteners etc. don’t eat it.

It’s actually that simple and yet again clear common sense.

Follow this system and stay away from junk food, processed food and artificial sweeteners:

- Every meal should contain vegetables – they fill you up and make sure you don’t feel hungry and they don’t have a lot of calories which is key to a calorie deficit

- Make sure your meals don’t have more than 20% calories from fat – eat healthy fats such as non-roasted nuts, fish, omega-3 fats from salmon, leafy green vegetables, walnuts, organic eggs.

- Every meal needs to have whole grain carbs – No sugar!!

Exercises

As I said earlier you burn fat by creating a calorie deficit a great way to do that is exercises, burning off more calories than you consume.

While most people focus on about a hour of exercising doing the wrong exercises and hope for the best I want you to do the best exercises for burning fat for a maximum of 1 hour at least 3 days a week and still burn calories the other 23 hours of that same workout day!

6 Days a week of exercises is even better if you want really fast results.

Exercising 6 days a week is possible because you would be training a different group of muscles every day allowing the other muscles time to repair.
Perhaps you’re asking what do I mean with training different groups of muscles? Well, the best way to burn a lot of fat is with whole body workouts such as weight lifting exercises. With lifting weights you train a lot of muscles in your body which causes your metabolic rate to increase so rapidly and high that you’ll be burning calories sometimes even up to 36 hours after your workout. Doing this at least 3 days a week will make you a fat burning machine.

It’s just the way it is, it’s very hard for your body to maintain muscles thus your body needs to burn a lot of calories just to maintain them and the more muscle you get the more calories it will burn and that’s why you need to eat healthy to be able to provide just enough calories so that your body has enough for the muscles and for a healthy body.

Don’t forget the daily cardio, you need to do that as well it will not only help you boost your metabolism more but it’s also healthy for you.

-Remember to consult your doctor before doing exercises!

The secret to permanent fat loss

The secret is not to exercise more instead it’s to exercise less but with more intensity. The problem with most people is they exercise way too much with very low intensity or perhaps they don’t exercise at all.

The key for permanent weight loss is to increase your Resting Metabolic Rate which is best done with high intensity or high resistance exercises such as weight lifting or High Intensity Interval Training.

This is my Top 7 Fat Burning Exercises in no particular order.

1. Dumbbell Lunges

Start with standing straight and holding two dumbbells by your sides. Now lunge forward and make sure your front leg is parallel to the ground, and make sure your knee doesn’t go beyond your toes.

If performing the standing lunge just step back to the starting position and now do the same with your other leg. You can also perform reverse lunges by stepping backward instead of forward.

If you’ve got enough space in the room you can do a walking lunge, here you go directly from the bottom position of your first leg into the bottom position of your second leg.

For more intensity you can increase the distance or the weights of your dumbbells but make sure you don’t go to heavy otherwise you can injure yourself.

2. One Arm Snatches

Start with holding a dumbbell in one arm (make sure you have a dumbbell weight your are comfortable with) and place it between your feet on the slitghtly above the floor. Place your other hand on the back and your back should be flat and look straight ahead, keep your entire body tight.

Pull the weight up above your head in a fast movement way over your head and immediately go back to starting position and do next rep.

To do this exercise you work out a large amount of muscles in your body which is extremely important for increasing the metabolic rate in your body to burn fat even after the workout. This exercise really needs to be part of your workout plan.

3. Dumbbell Squat And Press

Start with holding a dumbbell in both hands next to your shoulders and squat down and go back up and press the dumbbells over your head and back to the starting position, these 2 parts are considered one repetition.

4. Bent Over Rows

Start in a bent over position with the back straight and knees slightly bend. Hold dumbbells in an hammer like way. Now pull the dumbbells up and squeeze the shoulders blades together at the top position go back to starting position and repeat.

5. Dumbbell Swing

This exercise looks a bit like the one arm snatch.

Hold a dumbbell in both hands slightly above the ground between your legs. Now swing the dumbbell up to eye level. Drop the dumbbell down again between your legs while pushing your hips to the back, and immediately after coming to the lowest point swing the dumbbell back up again.

And again you are working out a lot of muscles in your body which will result in a huge increase in your metabolic rate and thus you’ll keep burning fat even after the workout.

6. Side planks

Get on the floor and hold down your body with one of your forearms, keep your back straight, hips up and hold your abs tight. Hold it between 30 and 60 seconds.

This is a great exercise for burning fat and also very important for strengthening your core which is very important to have when doing weight lifting.

7. Barbell Push And Press

Yet another metabolic boosting exercise for fast fat burning.

For this exercise you need to lift a weight from the floor and push it up above your head thus again making you work out a lot of muscles in your body.

Start with sitting back in a squat position with your back straight and eyes straight ahead. Now pull up the barbell in a quick movement and catch it at shoulder height and now push at above your head. And when going back to the starting position move it back to your shoulder first then to the thighs and back on the floor.

This exercise can be done with dumbbells as well.

With so many weight loss programs out on the market and on the internet today, what makes this program any different than all the rest?

Before we get to the program, let’s take a look at the expert behind this program. Isabel De Los Rios is a nutrition and exercise specialist with 10 years of experience helping clients reach their ideal weight and tackle conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Isabel has a very extensive educational background in nutrition and exercise physiology. Her personal experience with her own weight struggles and her mother’s severe diabetes led her search for the BEST nutrition information available today. The Diet Solution Program is a result of her 15 year study and research.

I’ve also talked to Isabel about her training and education background, and I’ll be honest, it was impressive, unlike other so-called “health experts”, who are just following main stream nutrition programs. Isabel provides her readers with the truth: the facts most people have never taken the time to research, read and decipher.

Plus, Isabel has been a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years and has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The proof was really in the results of real people.

In fact, Isabel’s articles are pretty radical when it comes to her nutrition principles which is why her approach works when main-stream nutrition fails. So if you are looking for the same old nutrition theories taught in every other book and program on the market today, this is not the program for you.

Now one of the biggest questions about the program is simply, “What is The Diet Solution Program?” Well according to Isabel, it is the most comprehensive and detailed nutrition manual available on the market today. Not only does it teach you exactly what principles you need to follow to finally reach your ideal weight, it gives you the meal plans, shopping lists and recipes to do so. It does not push some extreme, unreasonable way to lose weight. It actually teaches you how you can make this healthy way of eating into a lifestyle. And if you have ever attempted to lose weight in the past, you know that the only way to maintain it is to make it a way of life. The best part about Isabel’s program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain it.

One of the best side effects of the whole program is the increased health and vitality that every participant experiences. Decreases in blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions are just some of the few benefits other people have already experienced.

Yes, I want to be at my ideal weight but I also want to maintain a healthy body at the same time and not have to resort to extreme, radical methods. The Diet Solution Program helped me lose weight and feel healthy and energized at the same time.

First of all they will never lose weight with ab belts or weight loss pills no matter what.

Unfortunately, most people never lose weight with a diet or by doing exercises either. Most often this is because lack of knowledge, lack of motivation or even both.

As Rob Poulos describes, they are “confused about the weight loss principles’, perhaps you are too?

I believe the main reason for not losing weight is lack of motivation. I think people don’t really want to be fit, they don’t really want to look healthy and have a better lifestyle because being overweight, sick is who they are. Even though if they would just follow the proper weight loss principles without jumping from one diet to another they could as easily be fit, healthy and lean as they are overweight.

I was in the same situation as most people are right now, I too was overweight and had a lot of challenges along the way like jumping from one diet to another, weight loss plateaus etc. But I kept fighting and I did lose all unwanted body fat and so can you.

Thanks to Rob Poulos and his team from the fat burning furnace I learned losing weight is not something you do to look good before summer, or as a new years resolution or to look good at thanksgiving, losing weight is being fit and healthy forever. It’s a lifestyle. Period.

Now if you really want to lose weight and stay lean forever see what Rob Poulos can do for you >> click here <<

In this article you’ll learn what metabolism is, why it’s important for losing weight, how to increase it and what not to do if you want to lose weight.

What is metabolism and why is it important to lose weight?

In order to maintain itself, the body needs to burn calories, energy, and that’s basically the metabolism of your body. It doesn’t matter if you’re working out, sitting in the sofa, sleeping, eating your body is always burning calories.

A muscular body burns way more calories than a fat body in order to sustain itself, therefore fit and often muscular people with a low body fat percentage who exercise almost at least 3 days a week have a higher metabolism than people with more body fat percentage who don’t exercise at all.

How can I increase the metabolism?

This is quite a straightforward answer, you have to exercise more.

However, you can’t just do a bunch of exercises, because not all exercises have a high enough resistance for your body to increase your metabolism you’ll need to do the proper exercises.

That’s why people who want to burn stomach fat never lose it because most of them focus on abdominal specific exercises which on their own don’t increase the metabolism.

The right exercises are heavy resistance exercises such as weight lifting, with lifting weights you actually ‘beat up’ your muscles around your whole body thus making your body increase the metabolism to recover all the muscles by burning calories.

It’s also important to do aerobic workout such as jogging, swimming, cycling and so on to increase your heart rate which as well increases your metabolism.

Do you need to diet to increase the metabolism?

Mine opinion is no, you don’t have to diet but you do have to skip the bad foods such as fast food, processed food and make sure the calories you consume are not from fat and eat a lot of proteins for the recovery of the muscles.

And never skip breakfast, if you do you will lower your metabolism and get in a catabolic state where your body burns up muscle tissue to supply amino acids for certain body functions. If you do this too often you’ll lower your metabolism and make it easy to gain fat and hard to lose it.

If you want to lose weight healthy my advice is to first consult a doctor, some people have a low metabolism because of a medical situation and not as a result of lack of exercising.

Otherwise, I recommend to start exercising with weight lifting and daily aerobic training, jogging is a great way to start and it’s free.
