7 Tips to Increase Metabolism

To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Break-fast...break the fast. Don't skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast.
Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart.
Don't depend on herbal products to increase metabolism or energy level. Any metabolic increase will be minimum and herbs are not cheap. Instead, include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.
Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don't work.

Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism.

Don't starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry. Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating.

Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.

Answer 3

Yes you can. It isn't ideal because exercise speeds up the process, helps build muscle, increases metabolism, etc; but - yes - if you reduce your calories enough you can lose weight. How much you lose depends on how many calories you cut back on.

A person could get to a point where there were so few calories they were taking in it could be difficult to reduce them, in which case exercise would help use up the calories.

Think of how people who are sick for a long time and in bed often tend to lose weight (but they also tend to lose muscle, as well as fat). The point is if you take in few enough calories you'll lose weight.

For some reason (maybe because exercise is so important or else because of brainwashing that our culture has done) very few people will admit (or else realize) that a person can lose weight without exercising. They can. They do. Its just not the best thing.

Answer 4

Some people can lose weight without exercising. I lost weight without exercising with the Adkins Diet. I lose a total of 55 lbs. and would have kept it off if I exercised. I more than likely lost a little muscle but, I did lose a lot of fat. That was 5 years ago and I have gained 45 lbs. back since then. I will try again, but this time, exercise will be in my routine. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Ok, I'm not a nutritionist, but I know the following:

1) Skipping meals slows your metabolism, because it makes your body think there is a food shortage and thus uses less calories (but makes you feel sluggish)

2) Eating a consistant, balanced diet makes your body not worry about saving calories and instead focus on being stronger and faster.

3) Something that a lot of girls don't know is that Muscle mass increases with the amount of calories you burn. This is why young men can eat SOOOO much more than women. Therefore you should be including at least some weight training as well as cardio in your workout. And don't worry about looking non-feminine... you'd have to take a lot of steroids to have male-like muscles.

I hope this helps,

Answer 7

Yes you can, on a low fat, low-cal diet. You will have to drink plenty of water and eat lots of greens. I would not recomment too much of meat as it will have too many side effects (high cholesterols and heart diseases, blocked arteries etc). Even eat fruits in moderation as they are high in sugars, and try to include some fibres in your diet as well. Green tea is also a good idea as it increases your body's metabolism and has anti-oxidants.

However, even though you may lose weight, your body will not be in a good shape as it could have been had you exercised. You may feel dull and listless and permanently tierd. So a little exercise actually goes a long way in keeping you fit and healthy - keeps your metabolism high, your blood sugar level low and all aches and pains away. If you are not an exercise person, try walking - maybe run small errands in your neighbourhood or take your neighbour's dog/ baby for a walk or even do some gardening or light housework.

Answer 8

yes you can lose weight without execrise but the reason why yuou execrise for the first place is because it boosts your metabolism. more metabolism, more weight comes off, more weight you lose and dont gain back. if you only cut down on what you eat, you will still feel not with so much energy, always tired, so even parking far from your office and walking the distance is good, if you have stairs and elevators at work, and you are not too many floors uop, take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Answer 9

No, you cant lose weight without exercising. Exercising gets your heart rate up which help you body to get rid of excess fat. You dont have to excercise but 20 minutes a day though. Walking briskly is a very good excercise to lose weight.

Answer 10

Yes, but not in a healthy way. The answer you don't want to hear, is that you need to be exercising. You can acheive a lot with just simple weight training and cardiovascular training. Begin slow by walking more and taking stairs instead of the elevator.

Answer 11

Yes you can, because i know of a lady who was in a wheel chair who was able to lose some weight. You just have to watch what you eat pretty careful. Keep your hands busy - with crafts or going on the computer - so you aren't tempted to eat as much.
