How to Boost Your Metabolism in 2 Weeks or Less

Do You Think High-Fiber Foods Slow Your Metabolism?

Want your fat-burning metabolism to be fast and effective? After all, a fast metabolism working for you 24/7 is automatically burning calories day and night…

That means achieving and maintaining your ideal body becomes almost effortless.

Unfortunately, your metabolism is more likely slow and sluggish causing your belly to expand, while making it almost impossible for you to lose weight…yet alone keep it off.

The good news:

In just a moment I’m going to show you exactly how you can overcome your sluggish metabolism with real science.

Including our #1 research-backed metabolism-boosting trick for a flat belly…

Now before I reveal the secret, you need to understand 3 pitfalls directly responsible for the painfully slow speed of your run-down metabolism.

#1: It’s got to do with something you may have done a lot of…

And if this sounds familiar it is because of “crash diets” where calories are severely restricted in a futile attempt to lose weight quickly.

And “chronic dieting” where calories are restricted for extended periods of time.

Yes, crash dieting and chronic dieting can and does wreak havoc on your metabolic rate.

Demonstrated in numerous studies published by prestigious research journal Metabolism

For example:

In a study conducted at Rockefeller University by world-renowned obesity researcher Dr. Rudolph Leibel…

The metabolisms of individuals who had lost weight via long-term chronic dieting and/or various “crash dieting” techniques were compared to individuals who typically maintained a normal weight.

As expected, the metabolisms of those in the “dieter” group were 25% lower than those who had not gained or lost significant weight in the past.

The dieter group had accrued so much damage to their metabolisms over the years their now battered metabolic rates were slower than those of normal-weight individuals two-thirds their size.

Other studies show significantly decreased levels of important metabolic, fat-burning hormones with crash dieting, such as the Metabolism study performed by Dr. Campbell at the University of Vienna.

Study showed thyroid levels dropped by a massive 38% after just 2 weeks of consuming a very low calorie diet.

And yet another Metabolism study conducted by Dr. Gloria Dubuc and the nutrition research team at the University of California – Davis…

Showed a 50% reduction in body’s #1 fat-burning hormone just seven short days of following a severely reduced calorie diet.

The second major cause of dramatically slowed metabolic rates is the relatively inactive lifestyle that most of us live today.

Unlike our hunter and gatherer ancestors, we spend majority of day sitting or lying down.

Sitting on the way to work, while at work, drive home, at dinner table, on couch relaxing, and then laying down to sleep at night.

Of course, drastically reduced levels of activity comes significantly slower metabolisms.

The third major pitfall of declining metabolic rates is the overconsumption of whole grains, even foods praised as being high in fiber such as:

  • 100% Whole Wheat Bread
  • Whole Grain Pasta
  • Bran flakes
  • Wheat-based “Fiber” Cereals
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • Wraps

Despite having more fiber than their “white” counterparts, these 4 high-fiber foods destroy your blood sugar and give rapid rise to fat-storing hormone insulin.

In fact, just 2 slices of whole wheat bread raise blood sugar far higher than a can of sugar-sweetened soda or even a sugary candy bar. Why?

Simply because today’s wheat is genetically modified by the food industry, mutated, and exposed to industrial toxins and radiation to force unnatural higher yields.

And at the expense of your health…

These harmful wheat products, although praised by food manufacturers as healthy for their fiber and “whole grain” content, are a major cause of the raging obesity epidemic.

This is seen across the board in western society today…

And because these foods are so rapidly digested, you get virtually no metabolic benefit during digestion, resulting in less than optimal metabolic rates.

And you’re already seeing ever expanding bellies worldwide…

What if there is a simple, practical and fast solution to boost your fat-burning metabolism, both during day and even while you sleep?

One solution which has shown in peer-reviewed research to result in nearly 4 times faster women’s weight loss?

What if you could take advantage of this scientifically-backed, simple solution in less time than it takes for you to brush your teeth each day?

Would you be interested?

You see, this simple “solution” involves a synergistic combination of several brand new fat-fighting, metabolism-igniting, natural ingredients researchers have discovered.

This is able to directly target fat cells and dramatically boost body fat metabolism, producing significant, measurable fat-burning results in as little as 2 weeks.

Let me quickly tell you about each.

The ingredient is a patent-pending combination of two exotic plant extracts; Sphaeranthus Indicus and Garcina Mangostana

This is supported by undeniable fat-burning research, incredibly unique and potent blend based on human trials.

Each study conducted via highly metabolic complex was set up based on gold standard of research (randomized, double-blind, and placebo controlled)

This means neither researchers or study participants knew which subjects received actual ingredients or the placebo (a simple sugar pill), so there could be no bias.

Let’s take a look at what happened:

In the first peer-reviewed clinical trial, conducted by Dr. Judith Stern and the nutrition research team at the University of California Davis…

Published in highly respected peer-reviewed journal Obesity, 60 subjects were randomly assigned to consume either 400mg twice daily or a placebo for a period of 8 weeks.6

All participants consumed a rather standard 2,000 calorie diet, and were instructed to walk a moderate 30 minutes per day.

Within the first 2 weeks, group a had experienced 3.3 times greater weight loss compared to placebo group, while shedding nearly 2 inches off their waist…all within 2 weeks.

By the end of the 8 week trial, group a had 3.79 times greater weight loss over placebo group, and an unprecedented 4.66 inches lost around waistline.

Group a shed weight around belly and hips (where it matters most) as demonstrated by a 2.2 times greater reduction in waist and hip size over placebo group.

Would you say that is extraordinary effective?

Dr. Stern and team at UC Davis performed another identical study with 40 additional participants to further validate incredible results seen in first clinical trial.

The outcome?

Nearly identical results to first study with even slightly greater weight loss seen at the end of the 2nd 8-week trial.7

The results of this study solidified the prestigious Platinum Standard of research, when two or more “gold standard” studies are successfully executed with same study protocol.

Both delivering statistically significant and similar findings.

To see such profound results in not one, but two peer-reviewed published studies of identical design spanning a total of 100 participants is exceptionally rare.

boost metabolism

Does this substantiate the unparalleled effectiveness and potency of metabolism boosting foods:

  • Blueberries
  • Almonds
  • Whey Protein
  • Salmon
  • Psyllium Husk
  • Spinach
  • Turkey

Antioxidant seems to be the new buzzword, but what about nature’s miracle foods and metabolism boosting foods?

Cinnamon Spice Of Life Helps Burn Abdominal Fat?

Want to lose belly fat or get rid belly fat?

Jody - Weight Loss Coach

So what is this miracle spice that can rid belly fat or banish ugly abdominal fat?

Well, how to lose belly fat… some call it a miracle belly-fat spice for fat burning!

Obviously cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (i,e. increase metabolic rate), it can essentially help you to burn abdominal fat.

You simply get healthier lifestyle and leaner in an indirect way.

Why?

Because cinnamon is one of the most overlooked, yet healthiest spices in the world. Yes, it can help you win the battle against the bulge by using it daily.

Allow me to explain…

Firstly, here are five benefits of eating cinnamon:

* Controls blood sugar levels
* Maintain insulin sensitivity
* Very powerful antioxidant
* Antibacterial properties
* Anti-fungal properties
* Dozens of other benefits…

Here’s how Cinnamon works…

Although cinnamon has many health benefits, you get leaner through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 from the medical journal Diabetes Care, one group was split in two, first group ate 1 – 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon also increases insulin sensitivity, which means your body control blood sugar while simultaneously producing less insulin.

Chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the fat.

How to harness cinnamon and lose stubborn belly fat… add cinnamon daily for breakfast or meals, sprinkle in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, etc…

Also, you could take a daily dose (cinnamon capsule) before each of your meals.

This helps control blood sugar and insulin response from eating foods and thereby controlling your appetite and cravings throughout the day…

In other words you’re helping to lose body fat more effectively over time.

Now you can see why cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant that helps you stay youthful longer, this spice of life helps you to control blood sugar and get a leaner sexier body too!

Low Calorie Food Satisfies Hunger?

Low fat recipes foods with a high satiety value help reduce the amount of food it takes to stop hunger and cravings…

Are you tired of struggling with your weight?

Sick and tired of rail thin celebrities touting the latest diet patch, diet pill or another domineering diet plan?

What low fat or low calorie food helps stop hunger and cravings while extending time between meals?

What about hunger pangs and hunger pains…

Satiety is the feeling that you are not being deprived and are full, and often satiety is the only determining factor in successful weight management.

Good news is there are many low-calorie foods can help you achieve satiety.

In general, the more water, fiber and protein a food has the longer it will keep you satisfied…

Eggs have been dubbed the perfect protein with omega-3 nutrient dense.

Eggs are a nutrient dense food that boosts brain power thanks to the choline they contain.

A 2005 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that protein foods have a strong role in satiety.

In the study, women who ate a daily diet of 30 percent protein consumed 441 fewer calories than women who ate 15 percent of calories from protein.

Other low-fat, high-protein choices can give satiety, too.

Protein empties from the stomach more slowly than carbohydrates that’s why some women feel full longer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

It keeps blood sugar steady instead of spiking as some carbohydrates can.

Good protein foods include:

  • Lean meats
  • Poultry without skin
  •  Low fat or non fat low calorie dairy foods…

Fish is more satisfying on a per-calorie basis than other proteins according to the Diabetes Network.

Broth based soup can fill you up without filling you out.

Soup is a great way to start a meal and save on calories, thanks to its high water content.

Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University’s chairwoman of nutrition researched the difference between women who started meals with soup and those who began with entrees…

Rolls found that women who ate meals with soup consumed 100 fewer calories during the meal.

Complex carbohydrates high in water and fiber such as apples, oranges and grapes give you more food for fewer calories.

Also high fiber and higher fiber foods stay in your stomach longer because they’re processed slower.

This means you feel fuller for longer according to Elisa Zied spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

Popcorn is a low calorie snack food that allows you to indulge your urge to munch without lots of extra calories thanks to its bulk.

Just make sure you don’t drench it in high-fat butter.

Some herbs or spices can be used to give extra pizazz to your snack without adding extra calories.

Choose popcorn over dry foods…

Including pretzels and crackers because these snacks lack fiber, water and are low in volume as recommended by Weight Watchers.

Legumes and beans truly are magical when it comes to feeling full because of their high fiber and protein contents.

Lentils and baked beans both had high marks on the Satiety Index developed by Australian researcher Dr. Susanne Holt of the University of Sydney.

Beans and lentils also have “anti” nutrients delaying their absorption and keep you feeling fuller longer.

Salad gives you the satisfying crunch factor along with fiber and water.

As with soup, women who start their meals with salad eat fewer calories than those who skip the greens according to Rolls’ research.
