4 Ways to Boost Your Metabolism Levels For Maximum Weight Loss


If you’re looking to speed up your weight loss results, then the solution may lay with boosting your metabolism levels. Usually people with low metabolism levels find it hard to lose the weight fast. Not only that, they’ll also suffer from low energy level and other health troubles.

Without further ado, here are 4 ways to boost your metabolism levels:

Exercise in the morning


According to many studies, people who exercise in the morning tend to have a skipper metabolism level throughout the day, thus leading to greeter calorie burn. In addition, if you exercise first thing in the morning, then you’ll likely stick better with your training program for the long haul.

Strength Training

Adding a weight lifting session into your workout program will not only help you look good in those old jeans, it’ll also increase your resting metabolic rate. See, muscle burns more calories than fat. As a result, the more muscle mass you pack in, the higher your metabolism will be as a result.

Eat Frequently

Skipping on meals forces your body to enter into starvation mode, thus your metabolism levels slow down to a crawl leading to weight loss plateaus or even gains. Therefore, if you’re looking to keep your metabolism running high, then you need to eat at least 4-5 meals, every 3-4 hours throughout the day.

Interval training

According to many studies, interval training is the best exercise approach for boosting metabolism levels through the roof. Not only that, interval training—such as doing intervals on the running track, cycling…--have been proven to be very effective at fighting off belly fat and improving fitness and endurance levels.

  1. This is so true! Good information!
    I am so glad eating frequently helps because I am always eating some type of snack!

  4. I love this - 4 simple rules. I've been running and doing a CrossFit Bootcamp every Saturday morning (helping prepare for my first Tough Mudder in Sept) for about 8 weeks (running for a lot longer than that though) and have not lost one pound.

    Turns out my thyroid is completely broken (Hashimoto's) and I'm insulin resistant.

    If I needed a blunt force trauma to point out fitness is so much more than just hitting the pavement, this was it.
