I am dieting. How do you build a stronger metabolism?

Answer 1

Eat mini meals every three or so hours, to total six mini meals a day.

Exercise regularly. Do strength training, as lean muscle mass burns calories even at rest. Make sure you exercise using intervals (so, some walking, a little jogging, back to walking etc.)

Check out www.coolrunning.com for their couch to 5K interval program, and www. stumptuous.com for excellent weight training routines. Look at www.bodyforlife.com for cardio, diet, and strength training advice. Then, you build the program that works for your lifestyle.

Answer 2

Take the meals you eat now and break them up into as many small meals as you can, NEVER skipping a meal. Also, be sure to get some exercise daily... at least 40 minutes worth of cardio with your heartrate accelerated. Be sure to eat foods high in protein, calcium and take a multivitamin as well. These will help not only your metabolism, but your food being metabolized through your system quickly. Eat lots of fiber, too or consider FIBERONE or another fiber supplement. They keep you feeling full longer and help your digestive tract.

Answer 3

Hi there!

First of all it is great that you are staying active, that is key. Now all you need to do is control your calorie intake to less than 1500 calories per day, broken up across five meals of about 300 each. Eating small meals frequently keeps you metabolism up. Also, caffeine will keep you metabolism up, but limit yourself here since it can wreck your sleep or your body can build a tolerance. Diet pills that contain ephedrine will also do this but the effect takes longer to get our of your system-about 10 hours it seems.

I believe this answers your question, but if not let me know.

Good luck with your diet and fitness goals!

Answer 4

eat every 3 hours. and eat protein with every mini meal.

eat breakfast. must eat protein breakfast withint 2 hours of waking up.

weight training to build muscle. wt training was found to raise metabolism even when you are sleeping. there was a study that showed people raised their metabolism 16% in 16 weeks when they weight trained 3 times a week.

cardio will raise your metabolism during and about 2 hours after the workout. but not long term like wt training.

Answer 5

By eating less quantity of food, more frequently. It's better having 6 smaller meals a day, than 3 big ones... that way your system will keep working for longer and will help your metabolism.

Answer 6

Drink a cold glass of water 1/2 hour before each meal. Capsaisan (don't think that's spelled right) speeds up metabolism too. So eat lots of spicey foods with jalepeno and other hot peppers.

Answer 7

Here's a good tip. Have a teaspoonful of organic apple cider vinegar in a glass of water when you wake up in the morning. It speeds up metabolism and keeps the digestion working properly, so aiding weight loss. And no, I don't sell it for a living, but I am doing it myself at the moment, it seems to work well.

Answer 8

Lots of cardio exercise. Vitamin B6 and B12 also help speed up the metabolic process.

Answer 9

To speed up your metabolism eat small meals more frequently - Healthy snacks like carrots or something.

Answer 10

You exercise. Diet does not speed up metabolism. Jogging, lifting, more jogging.
