10 simple ways to improve metabolism and burn twice as many calories

Here are tips from three health experts to help you do just that.
By following their advice, you will be able to lose weight quickly.
1. No diets!
Dr. Marilyn Glenville of marilynglenville.com, a blog devoted to natural sugar substitutes, advises, “No diets! The body perceives them as an emergency situation and begins to make reserves”.
2. Eat often and little by little
Monitor your blood sugar and eat at least every three hours: breakfast, lunch, dinner and light snacks in between. Do not include carbohydrates in the diet after six in the evening. The blood sugar level will remain sufficient so that the body does not demand to eat something immediately.
3. Be sure to eat breakfast
Without breakfast, your body immediately goes into emergency mode and starts storing food in fat stores.
4. If possible, eliminate saha and refined carbohydrates
Try to avoid foods that raise blood sugar quickly. This causes increased production of insulin by the pancreas. It is insulin that is responsible for the formation of fat reserves. Therefore, the more stable the level of sugar in the blood, the faster the weight goes. Switch to whole grains and try to limit caffeine and alcohol.
5. Protein in every meal
Protein slows down the digestion of food in the stomach. By eating protein (vegetable or animal) with carbohydrates, you convert them from fast to slow, which promotes weight loss.
6. Enough fats
During a long-term low-fat diet, you get less saturated fat. But most people today get too little of the healthy fats-fatty acids found in fish, nuts, and grains. Fatty acids help speed up metabolism.
7. Important nutrients
Chemical reactions are needed to convert glucose into energy, not fat. Certain vitamins and minerals participate in them. The most important: chromium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins of group B, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, green tea extract and amino acids.
8. Exercise
Shauna Wilkinson, a health food expert at SuperfoodUK.com, says that exercise boosts your metabolism. The body requires “fuel” in the form of calories, even when you are sitting and doing nothing. The more muscles you have, the more calories the body uses for good, and not for storing fat reserves. That is why men lose weight faster than women – they usually have more muscle mass.
