Man's Best Friend

Everyone believes man's best friend is a dog, when really it's your metabolism. Metabolism is that little guy inside those people who eat everything in sight and still look fabulous. Everyone has him. Some just have faster ones than others.

Your metabolism is your very own personal trainer inside of you. He works all day and all night to help you burn calories and shed fat. Every time you consume something, the enzymes in your body's cells break down the food and turn it into energy. The faster your metabolism= the more calories you burn. The more calories you burn the easier it is to loose weight.

So those of you who are not supafreaks and want to speed up your metabolism here are some tips:

EAT BREAKFAST!!! I know you've heard this one before but it's important to feed your body when you wake up because it's been in starvation mode, causing your metabolism to slow down inorder to conserve energy. If you don't feed your body properly, it will retain anything you do give it inorder to prepare for starvation mode.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Researchers have found that people who drank eight to tweleve 8 oz glasses of water per day had higher metabolic rates.

Mix things up with intervals. Keep your body guessing by stepping up your intensity. If you do this you can burn up to three times the amount of body fat.

Add spices to your food. SPICES...not SALT... cinnamon is one spice that will increase your metabolism greatly.

Lastly, try dividing your meals up into smaller portions and eat more often throughout the day. Every time you eat your metabolism rises.
