I've been reading a lot about how you can eat to raise your metabolism and loose weight in an easy healthy way. There are many health benefits of eating smaller portions and eating more often. Why does eating this way, raise your metabolism?
Look at it this way. Imagine your body like a furnace. If you were to put a big soggy log on your fire what would happen? It would take a while to catch on fire and may even put your fire out. However if you were to put in some kindling and some small logs your fire will start burning the wood right away. And you will need to give it more fuel more often so the fire keeps burning.
Our body works the same way. When we eat smaller meals throughout the day (give it fuel), it causes our body to burn that fuel constantly. This is speeding up your metabolism.
But the most important key is to eat the right kinds of foods. And we are talking about small meals as well. I suggest partnering a lean protein with a complex carbohydrate. Here are some ideas of some regular small meals.
A small salad with cold chicken and assorted veggies.
cottage cheese with applesauce or peaches
a protein shake
a string cheese with a small low cal. yogurt
you can learn how and what to eat to raise your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning machine.
