How do you make your metabolism faster in order to lose weight?
ByHow do make your metabolism faster in order to lose weight? What slows it down? I have always had a good metabolism. Was able to eat what i wanted and didn’t gain weight. I am 34.
Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body’s motor is running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called
the metabolic rate. It’s how fast your "motor" is running when you’re still in a reclined position or sleeping. About 60-75% of
energy is expended by the body at rest in such activities.
The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us
going whether we are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher
metabolism than others that are less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than fat. Some people have a
slower metabolic rate and have a harder time staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of the
increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight
gains. How to build muscles to improve metabolism? What type of exercise is ideal that speed up metabolism so that you burn
calories even at rest or sleep? There are simple exercises that speed up the metabolism.
Causes for Low Metabolism
* Fasting
* A low calorie diet
* Snacking throughout the day on high sugared foods (candy, colas,
cakes, gum).
* Eating or drinking too much sugar containing foods.
* Lack of physical activity.
* Underactive thyroid.
Metabolism Boosters
There are some natural metabolism boosters (natural foods) that improves your metabolism. Do not take over the counter pills
containing animal thyroid extract that claim to boost up metabolism. These products may have side effects as diarrhea, increased
heart rate, excessive sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc.
How to Improve (Speed up) Metabolism
* Do not skip any meals
* Exercise daily
* Build your muscles
* Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings
*Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
*Eat foods with high nutrition values

The older you get, the slower your metabolism gets naturally. Exercise increases metabolism.

If your metabolism has recently started to slow down it could be a number of things… if you’ve also noticed other syptoms (that seem like they might not be related) I’d get some blood work done. You can also check out a website like Web MD, who has a virtual diagnosis (tell it your symptoms). My first thought when I think of slowed metabolism is hypo-thyroidism. The tyroid gland controls all. If that is the problem, they prescribe meds, and you’re back to normal. Again, visit a site like Web MD, it’s very helpful.

Eating smaller meals continuously throughout the day will keep your metabolism high and at a constant rate. When you cut calories your body’s metabolism will slow because it will try to keep the calories since it is not use to having so little.
Many people don’t know this but your body has a natural metabolic change. The more overwieght and the more you eat, the higher your metabolism. If you are very skinny and eat very little your metabolism is very low. It all makes sense though, it is your body trying to naturally keep you alive. Therefore outsmart your body. Eat alot, but in small portions. This will increase your metabolism.

Exercise is the most powerful booster to speed up your metabolism.
Besides exercise, some foods (nutrient dense foods; high fiber foods) also help to increase metabolism. However, the increase is only minimal - exercise is still the best you can bet on to increase metabolism.
Also eat more frequently - instead of 3 large regular meals, eat 6 small meals per day
Factors that can slow down your metabolism include:
-age
-gender
-amount of muscle in the body
-bodyweight
-activity level
