Most people believe that boosting your metabolism is the key to weight loss. While there’s truth in that statement, it’s not quite that simple. The rate at which your body processes and burns calories depends on several factors, including genetics, age, and gender. While there are many reasons for a person’s metabolism to slow down over time, most people can raise their metabolic rate by eating and exercising correctly. Here are five tricks for boosting your metabolism and helping you become more active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Increase Your Protein Consumption<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many experts believe that a high-protein diet can boost a sluggish metabolism by increasing levels of the hormone glucagon, which helps your body use glucose for energy. Even eating a small amount of protein at each meal – a serving the size of a deck of cards such as fat-free milk, eggs, or chicken – can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein-rich foods like animal proteins and vegetable proteins are particularly good choices, as they are high in the amino acids leucine and lysine, which are found in a type of protein called essential amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add More Fiber<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another key to boosting your metabolism is eating high-fiber foods. Some fruits, vegetables, and grains (like brown rice) are rich in soluble fiber, a carbohydrate that dissolves in water (and your stomach) and helps keep your bowel movements regular. Other fruits, vegetables, and grains are rich in insoluble fiber, which helps keep you regular, too. Fiber also provides satiety without adding a lot of extra calories, which helps you eat less overall and boost metabolic rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
