What foods can boost your metabolism?

Answer 1

None at all. This is yet another piece of galloping mythology. Getting off the couch and doing vigorous exercise for 30 minutes 5 times a week will boost it. It will also make you loose weight, look better and feel better!

7 Foods That Help Boost Metabolism
(CBS4) DENVER One of the best ways to lose weight is to speed up your metabolism, and one way to speed up your metabolism is to eat. But what you eat is key, CBS4's Dr. Dave Hnida reports.

Food and metabolism has been studied quite a bit, and turns out there are foods that are the true "fast foods" (foods that can rev up the rate at which you burn calories.)



Green tea: An extract in green tea speeds metabolism.

Grapefruit: The Scripps Clinic says some special chemicals in grapefruit help trigger weight loss.

Low Fat Yogurt: The combination of calcium and protein puts this on the list, with or without fruit

Lean Turkey: It's the best fat burning meat out there, and the reason has something to do with the protein

Chicken and Rice Soup: A study from Penn State finds chicken and rice soup speeds metabolism, especially when eaten before a meal.

Broccoli: Hnida says he really dislikes broccoli, but it doesn't mean it doesn't belong on this list.

Hot Peppers: "If you like Mexican food you're in luck," Hnida said. "It's not really the burrito that will speed your metabolism up, but the chili peppers that you put on top of them. These things contain a secret ingredient called capsaicin, and it not only makes your nose run but it makes your metabolism run, and not only does it burn your mouth but also helps you burn calories."

Other things that will speed your metabolism include eating smaller meals, drinking lots of water and exercise. The best exercise is weight training, since muscle burns more calories than other tissues.

Things that slow your metabolism include lack of sleep, lack of exercise and fasting.

Answer 3

I don't know that there are necessarily foods that 'boost' the metabolism. I know there are certain vitamins or supplements you can get that will help in that area...but you are still talking about dieting or eating smaller more frequent meals will help, as your body will have smaller amounts to digest, thereby, using more of the nutrients it intakes, and burning them more efficiently. Also, better to start your day out with a good brekkie, to get the machine running.

There are foods that will 'promote' weight loss, or 'aid' digestion...artichokes, beets, carrots, chestnuts, chili peppers, figs, flax, grapefruit, green teas, honey, mangoes, olive oil, peaches, peanuts, watermelon, wheat germ, wheat bran and yogurt...

Boosting your metabolism...truly, get that brekkie first thing in the morning, eat smaller more frequent meals, and exercise...water to flush out your system...

It'll boost up and give your more energy.
Hope that helps some.

I found a great way to lose weight fast and keep it off. I do body cleansing. I lost 13 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. Cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurites come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives etc. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To shrink the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow.
