Top 4 Best Expert Metabolism Boosting Tips for Weight Loss

By
People blame their genes all the time in their struggle with diet and weight loss, because we’re born with our metabolism. The good news is, however, we can do something with what we’re given. We can speed up our metabolism naturally to rev up calorie burn.
For advice on how to rev up our engines, we turned to Kirkland Shave, program director at Mountain Trek resort. Mountain Trek retreats are all-inclusive luxury vacations in Canada and Mexico that are also boot camp and fitness experiences. As a trainer and life coach, Kirkland has worked with thousands of people that want to get back their health, strength, and vitality. He’s also a Canadian mountain guide and Iyengar yoga instructor.
Kirkland shared his top four tips on how to switch your metabolism from decay to growth and how to lose weight by following these eating rules:

1. Start lifting, pushing, or pulling your body (or weights) to discomfort.

Discomfort means that it’s not easy, but that it also doesn’t cause you serious pain Do this two times a week.
1. Work your largest muscles first, then your smallest (chest then biceps, back then triceps).
2. Pick a weight that is difficult and intense to push, pull, or lift, and that maxes your ability somewhere between 8 and 12 repetitions.
3. Repeat each exercise twice. Eventually you can add a third set, or increase the weight / resistance until 12 repetitions can be easily done on your second or third set (and then again increase the weight / resistance again).
Use the above total body 20-minute kettlebell workout video as a guide. You can customize this to your fitness level and also do it with a heavy weight.

2. Eat breakfast within 30 minutes of getting out of bed.

This kick-starts your metabolism for the day, supports your circadian rhythm, and keeps your liver from initiating the “famine” response (when your body holds onto fat).

3. Eat 2/3 of your daily food intake in the first 9 hours of the day.

metabolism tips
By doing this, you spread the majority of calories across the active hours, and reduce your evening blood sugars so that you don’t store excess calories as fat. This means that if you wake up at 7am, you’ll have eaten the majority of your food by 4pm.

4. Eat multiple food groups every 3 hours during the day.

metabolism smoothie snacks
Eat lots of healthy snacks and don’t let yourself get too hungry. For example, eat a smoothie, then breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, then a snack, and then dinner. But try not to snack in the evening (see rule #3). This helps to keep your blood sugars steady across the day to avoid spikes and an insulin response from eating just a few large meals. This also helps you to avoid the “famine” response and resulting fat storage from skipping meals and also helps you to avoids energy drops associated with low blood sugar.

Iron Is A Girl's Best Friend

By
When I first picked up weights a few years ago, maximal lifting wasn't even on my radar. I ran around in circles with my 10-pound dumbbells, completely unaware that I was missing out on an entire world of fitness. In the world of 1RM strength, you set specific goals and work for weeks or months to inch closer to them. You push your body to its limits to achieve a triumph that only lasts a couple of seconds. But you also get rewarded with a rush unlike anything else. It's a great world to be a part of, and it's changed the entire way I view health and fitness. I wouldn't say I'm an expert on heavy lifting—yet. But I've still learned some important lessons along the way, and I'm confident you'll find them just as helpful as I did. If you're looking to find your numbers or move them up into uncharted territory, here are five rules you need to take to heart. 1  TRAIN SYSTEMATICALLY WHY BOTHER WITH MAXIMAL LIFTS? Heavy weight is instructive....

9 AB Training Mistakes You Need To Stop Making

By
The rise of the core has led to a profusion of misinformation and confusion. Eliminate the training flubs that keep your abs in the shadows! "The first rule to get abs is: you do not do sit-ups. The second rule to get abs is: you DO NOT do sit-ups." - Tyler Durden,  Fight Club . OK, Tyler didn't really say that. But as women everywhere reminded their dates in the post-movie recap, he did have some serious abs. Or maybe it was the guy who played him—you know, ol' what's-his-obliques. But whomever they belonged to, they were the kind of muscles that weren't just made in the kitchen. They were carved by hard training, and revealed by smart diet choices. But here's the thing about ab training: What you  do  is only one half of the equation. What you don't do is the other—and I'm not just talking about the usual pre-photo shoot fitness model tricks like avoiding sodium, carbs, happiness, or air. I'm referring to the piles of abominable abdomi...
