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?

Hydration – Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Is Water The New Recipe For Younger Smoother Skin?

hydration

Why is hydration so important?

Water is a liquid substance that hydrates and supplies the body with fluid…

Drinking fluids is essential to stay alive, so how much do you really need and what counts in your search to stay hydrated?

Water makes up more than half of your body weight…

What if you’re wanting to lose weight? Are you drinking enough water?

  • Drinking water may also contribute to a healthy weight-loss plan. Some research suggests drinking water can help you feel full

Not drinking enough water? Most women don’t drink enough water which means the body can’t metabolize fat adequately.

What are the effects of drinking less water?

Your body depends on water to survive because every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work correctly.

For example…

Your body uses water to maintain temperature, remove waste and lubricate joints.

Water is needed for good health vs retaining fluid which keeps your body piling on weight.

You lose water each day when you go to the bathroom, sweat, and even when you breathe.

So, are you drinking water instead of soda or sugary juices can help with skin tone?

Dry skin comes from environmental and internal factors.

How does drinking water help? Drinking water helps to eliminate damage to skin which is caused by exposure to the sun and wind.

Your cells require water to repair themselves.

If you’re not drinking water, there is no way to replenish water lost to sweat and wind.

Water helps to protect tiny blood vessels near surface of skin, giving you a lovely glow.

You can get adequate fluid from other sources including juice or tea but plain water is most easily absorbed by your body’s organs.

Dark colored urine is a sign your kidneys are retaining fluids…

hydration

Water is a liquid substance that hydrates and supplies the body with fluid…

The minimum for a healthy women is 5 to 8 eight-ounce glasses per day…

Symptoms of dehydration include the following:

  • Little or no urine or urine is darker than usual light straw color
  • Dry mouth
  • Sleepiness or fatigue
  • Extreme thirst
  • Headache
  • Confusion
  • Dizziness or light headed feeling
  • No tears when crying

Don’t wait until you notice symptoms of dehydration to take action. Actively prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of water.

Water is healthy fluid for your brain.

Many studies have shown that the human brain is affected immediately when dehydration occurs.

Your mental state is altered when you become dehydrated and hallucinations are not uncommon. Water helps to assist with normal brain function.

Your brain cells and nerves do not regenerate like other cells in the body, water is essential to protect your brain.

Water protects blood vessels, helping to provide oxygen-rich blood to the entire body.

No matter what your over-all health, water is an extremely valuable part of any diet. Drinking plenty of water each day helps your body to perform in the best way possible.

Everyone knows that drinking water is beneficial to their health.

Most people understand that replacing high-calorie drinks with water can speed their weight-loss. Few people understand how truly beneficial water is to the human body.

Water provides the transportation service within the human body.

It travels through cells while it combines with and breaks down chemicals like sodium, protein, fats and carbohydrates. Water is essential for expelling any toxins from the body.

Staying Hydrated – Staying Healthy

During urination, water carries ammonia and other waste materials from the organs out of the body. Water is an integral part of every process within the human body.

Other benefits of adding water to your diet include lowering the pain caused by under-lubricated joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis suffers often experience decreased pain when drinking an adequate amount of water each day. By the time you feel thirsty, you are dehydrated.

So drinking several glasses of water daily helps to alleviate thirst and lubricate joints.

Water shortages in disks of spine cause low back pain because lack of cushioning.

Drinking water regularly will limit the pain of many bone-related diseases.

Water is terrific for making your body regular.

Everyone knows that being constipated is no fun. Many people with gastrointestinal diseases are lacking in hydration.

Drinking soda, which contains sodium can dramatically increase dehydration.

Dehydration causes constipation and can lead to disorders like kidney stones and weakened kidney function.

You probably would not imagine that drinking water leads to less water retention in the body. The human body tends to store water when it feels water is scarce.

Drinking more water allows the body to eliminate excess water without diuretic medications.

Tips for staying hydrated

  • Keep a bottle of water with you during the day
  • Purchasing bottled water is expensive and creates plastic bottle waste
  • Carry a reusable glass water bottle and fill it from the tap instead
  • Try adding a slice of lemon or lime to your drink
  • Be sure to drink water before, during and after exercise or workout
  • When you’re feeling hungry, drink water as thirst is often confused with hunger
  • True hunger will not be satisfied by drinking water
  • If you have trouble remembering to drink water, drink on a schedule.
  • For example, drink water when you wake up; at breakfast, lunch, and dinner; and when you go to bed. Or drink a small glass of water at the beginning of each hour.
  • Drink water when you go to a restaurant it helps to keep you hydrated…

How to Lose Weight Naturally

You know the drum every beats, patience is key to realizing your weight loss goals, stay positive and committed…

Write down what you eat for one week and you lose weight…

Add 10 percent to amount of daily calories you think you’re eating…

Get a weight loss buddy to help you lose more weight…

Eat 3 fewer bites of your meal, one less treat a day or one less glass of orange juice..

There is a natural way to lose weight and it is a combination of diet and exercise.

Have you ever wondered how to lose weight naturally?

Natural weight decrease is the most simple and effective way for permanent weight loss.

It’s not about dieting; it’s all about understanding your body and calorie intake while making gradual micro-changes to your eating habits which helps you lose the weight for good.

Can losing weight can be as simple as basic math?

Calories you eat minus calories you burn…

If the difference is negative, you lose weight.

If the difference is positive, you gain weight.

Now, if you exercise you are using more calories so you’d expect to burn more calories.

In fact, if you can control the number of calories you eat on a daily basis you can lose weight even without exercising.

Let’s take a look at few examples:

What if you eat 2000 calories a day?

You burn 1800 calories while doing day-to-day tasks (working, walking, thinking. Yes, your brain burns calories as well).

You burn another 300 calories at the gym every day.

The end result is 2000 – (1800 + 300) = -100 calories.

What this means is you burn 100 calories a day.

If you keep this up for 35 days, you lose one pound.

Why 35? Because one pound of weight is equal to 3500 calories.

Example 2:

What if you eat 2000 calories and burn 1800 calories on your daily routine and you don’t exercise at all?

Daily calorie difference is 2000 – 1800 = 200.

What this means is at the end of the day, you have 200 extra calories.

If you continue to keep this up for 17 days, you have accumulated 17 x 200 = 3400 calories, which is almost one pound of extra weight.

Example 3:

What if you eat 1500 calories and you burn 1500 calories on your daily routine?

Daily calorie difference is 1500 – 1500 = 0.

What this means is at the end of the day, you would be the same weight as in the morning.

What if you keep this up? Weight stays constant…make sense?.

As you can see from the examples above, controlling your weight is as simple as reducing calories you eat, increasing calories you burn or a combination of both.

You can control both of those factors and it is just a matter of setting your fitness goal and committing to a healthy eating plan.

Unlike the examples above, you don’t necessarily have to follow same routine every day.

It is OK to have days when you have a surplus of calories as long as you burn them off in other days.

Enjoy and have fun with your fitness adventures, plan to follow as much as you can until you reach your normal healthy weight.

There’s no point in starve yourself. Not only will your body go into starvation mode (so it’ll be harder for you to lose weight), starving yourself play havoc on health like hair loss.

Remember being thin is not always a realistic goal or most important decision in life.

If you’re naturally curvy or heavier there are better and safer diets that can take off those pounds. Stop worrying about it and embrace your natural weight.

To help you with your weight loss and fitness plan, check out this women’s detox and diet program that helps take care of the math for you.

This shows you how many calories you need to consume to reach your normal weight, simply go to body mass index to get started and see how to lose weight naturally…
