Fire up your Fat Burning

Do you know what happens to your body when you eat? You create heat (thermogenesis). An example of this is when you get a little hot and sweaty eating a big meal (especially a spicy meal).

Here's what's happening...

After you eat certain foods, your body secretes insulin. The more glucose (sugar) you eat, the more insulin your body produces.

This creates energy or heat. And as your body temperature goes up, your metabolism starts to kick in in order to metabolize this energy.

Your body will either use the stored fat that is already in your cells (fat) or it will use the energy you just ate to keep functioning. If you ate more than your body needs, it will simply store this energy for later.

You can eat foods that will raise your metabolism so that it will more easily consume this new energy you are putting into your body, which makes it easier to reduce fat.

For example, fats are easily processed by your body and have little thermic effect. But proteins take longer to process and have a higher thermic effect than other types of foods. So eating a protein-filled diet helps trigger thermogenesis (a good thing).

The problem is people have a hard time triggering thermogenesis in our modern world.

We eat processed foods without the proteins and fiber our bodies were designed to eat and so we simply store the excess energy as fat.

One simple way to activate thermogenesis and raise your metabolism is by drinking tea.
