Did you know that the food, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make every day have a significant impact on your metabolism? 

 ·       For example, if you starve yourself (instead of following a sensible fat-loss eating plan) your metabolism will slow down.

·       If your metabolism slows down, it means your calories out will be less.

·       That means no more fat loss, and possibly even fat gain.

 Here are the top 10 ways to maximize your metabolism,

 1. Don’t starve yourself. Cutting calories too much is one of the worst things you can do to your body.  Starving yourself actually causes you to

lose much more water weight and muscle than fat. 

 2. Eat 6-8 small meals per day with an emphasis on lean protein, fruits and vegetables.  You have to have a nutrition plan, so spend time preparing

food for the upcoming week. 

 3. Eat breakfast.  At the very least, eat a lean protein, drink some Green Tea, and consume a fibre-rich fruit to get your fat loss day started right.

Try Herbalife Nutritional Shake for a convenient breakfast on the go. 

 4. Eat healthy fats.  Sources of healthy fats include nuts, fish, olive oil and flax oil.  Replace all processed carbohydrates in your diet with almonds. 

So instead of snacking on crisps, eat almonds. 

 5. Eat high quality foods that will help you control your blood sugar levels, insulin levels and energy levels.  Insulin management will help you lose

fat and prevent you from gaining fat.

 6. Eat 1.14g of protein per 450g of lean body mass.  If you don’t know your lean body mass, then simply eat 1g of protein per 450g of body weight.

 7. Limit your alcohol intake.  Alcohol intake can quickly add hundreds of calories and alcohol prevents fat burning.

 8. Drink Green Tea and water.  Both of these help prevent decreases in metabolism.  Not to mention they are your 2 healthiest beverage options.

A little coffee is fine, and other teas are also healthy. Try Herbalife Thermojetics Green Tea Beverage – you will shrink as you drink! 

 9. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule. Don’t stay up all night.  If you work shift work, stick to the rest of these principles as strongly as possible. 

 10. Exercise. Cardiovascular and strength training with moderately heavy weights will work wonders for you.
