Gone are the days that you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want.

Adding to the frustration is the fact that not all metabolism perform equally. Where one person can just look at food and gain weight another can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound?

Before you decide to hijack somebody else’s metabolism or simply give-up on your own, know this… every body has a Skinny Gene. Some people just have to put in a little more effort to get their metabolism working for them, rather than against them.

We, the Skinny Gene Project, specialize in creating healthy metabolisms. To help you ignite your Skinny Gene, we put together a FREE email series on foods you can eat that will improve your overall health and boost your metabolism. SIGN UP TODAY

Your metabolism is one of the most complicated systems in your body. Some people with a master’s degree in nutrition have a hard time understanding all of its complexities, so how can you be expected to know how to speed up your metabolism? That’s why we’re here to help!

HOW TO SPEED UP YOUR METABOLISM

Unfortunately, there is no miracle pill or food, that when taken by itself, will boost your metabolism. Think of your metabolism as being a system that only operates because of the sum of its parts, like a bicycle.

Similar to a bicycle, your metabolism needs momentum (action) to work. You have to exert energy to push the pedals. The harder you pedal, the faster you go. Like the bicycle, the more exercise and energy you exert the better your metabolism will perform.

Exercise (energy) is just one part. You also need to eat the right foods, in the right quantities, to optimize your metabolism.

The food is the foundation; it is the “wheel” that keeps your metabolism going. Just as the spokes of the wheel support the rim, the quality of the foods you eat support the health of your metabolism.

Imagine that each spoke on the wheel represents: water, fat, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, sodium, cholesterol, EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids), and vitamins & minerals. To make your metabolism as “strong” as possible, you would need to ensure that your body is getting the right amount of each nutrient (e.g. fiber). Eating too much or too little of each element could slow down your metabolism, like peddling through mud or having sticks in your spokes.

Below are 25 of our favorite foods to improve your metabolism (in no particular order):

BOOST YOUR METABOLISM

You must eat the right foods, in the right quantities, to get your metabolism working for you, rather than against you.

The tenth and FINAL food  in our TOP 10 FAVORITE FOODS TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM is GARLIC!

BENEFITS OF GARLIC

 Garlic, which is sometimes referred to as the “stinking rose”, may have you reaching for a slice of gum, but that is not all garlic does for you!  There are some unbelievable metabolism boosting health benefits packed in those tiny cloves.

Although our breath may not love garlic, our hearts certainly do!  Garlic helps regulate our blood pressure, keeps our arteries free of plaque, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, and lowers our risk of heart attack.  When our heart is healthy, our body’s metabolism will function at a better rate.

A few research studies have found a relationship with daily garlic intake and the improvement in insulin sensitivity, which lowers your risk of diabetes and helps with weight loss.  Garlic also has antioxidant properties which help fight the bad free radicals that try to slow our metabolism as well.

Garlic should be a part of our diet everyday!  Here are great recipes to try!

For a health bonus, allow your cut garlic to sit for 5 minutes prior to cooking or mixing with ingredients.  The 5 minutes is worth the wait!

The ninth one in our TOP 10 FAVORITE FOODS TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM is CINNAMON!

BENEFITS OF CINNAMON

Usually the foods that maximize your metabolism are rich colorful foods loaded with amazing health properties, but don’t let the fine, ground, brown cinnamon powder fool you. Just ¼ to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day can drastically improve your glucose metabolism, meaning it helps the body use insulin efficiently.

Cinnamon does this by taking the glucose (sugar) out of the blood and brings it into the cell where it is burned as energy.  By eating cinnamon daily, you can keep your blood sugar at a more stable level, reducing your risk for diabetes.  Don’t forget a stable blood sugar can also stabilize your appetite!

An added bonus – Cinnamon also has been found to reduce your blood lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides. 

Cinnamon has high concentrations of a polyphenol called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP). MHCP has disease prevention properties and can reduce your risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. 

Making an effort to add cinnamon to your daily routine is a smart choice! 

Try adding cinnamon to milk, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, fruits, or other beverages.  Here are a few ideas to start your day off with a little spice!

The eighth one in our TOP 10 FAVORITE FOODS TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM is YOGURT!

BENEFITS OF YOGURT

Yogurt is one of the few animal products that makes the list of super foods to boost your metabolism. The creamy consistency, not only tastes delicious, but provides your body with some unbelievable benefits.  Yogurt contains probiotics – the good bacteria (naturally present in yogurt) that helps with the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and keeps your gut healthy. 

Fat burning bonus:  Researchers have found that increasing your intake of dairy improves your metabolism of fat, which helps trim your waist line. 

Yogurt is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D, and it contains important micronutrients required for functioning of your heart, muscles (calorie burners), nerve functioning, blood clotting, and bone health.

There are so many delicious ways to enjoy the benefits of yogurt. Pineapple upside down cake, raspberry cheesecake, apple turnover, Boston cream pie, and red velvet cake are some of the fun flavored choices of Light Yoplait yogurt.  

That leads us to one more wonderful benefit of yogurt- it is low in calories. With only 60-110 calories per serving, yogurt is a great choice as a snack or dessert.  You can keep yogurt interesting by pairing vanilla yogurt with fresh fruits, especially berries or blend together for a smoothie.

Yogurt can also be a nice substitution to lower fat when baking.  Here are some tips from Taste of Home (http://www.tasteofhome.com/Healthy/Recipe-Makeovers/Baking-Techniques/Yogurt-for-Lower-Fat-Baking­)

  • When a recipe calls for butter, replace half the butter with half as much yogurt. For instance, instead of 1 cup butter, use 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup yogurt.
  • When a recipe calls for shortening or oil, replace half the oil with 3/4 the amount of yogurt. For example, instead of 1 cup oil, use 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons yogurt.
  • Substitute yogurt cup for cup for sour cream in recipes.
  • Yogurt can even replace some of the water or milk in a recipe. Start by substituting 1/4 of the liquid with yogurt. The result will be creamier and more flavorful.

BOOST YOUR METABOLISM 

The secret to boosting your metabolism is FEEDING your body what it needs.  

You must eat the right foods, in the right quantities, to get your metabolism working for you, rather than against you. The amount of water, fat, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, sodium, cholesterol, EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids), and vitamins & minerals you consume on a daily basis will either increase your metabolism or your waistline.

The sixth one in our TOP 10 FAVORITE FOODS TO BOOST YOUR METABOLISM is AVOCADO!

BENEFITS OF AVOCADO

Avocadoes are a super food that has received a bad reputation of being extremely high in fat.  When in actuality, it’s the fat that makes the avocado so super!  

Fat is an essential component of our diet.  Whether you are on a lower fat diet (20% of your calories come from fat) or a heart healthy diet (30% calories of your calories come from fat), remember it is the type of fat that will ultimately make a difference on your health and your waistline.

The fat in avocado is mostly the good fats – essential, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated.  These good fats have been found to lower the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol, which is important for everyone, especially those with diabetes or are overweight and at risk for heart disease. 

One word of caution is the nutrient density of this super food.  One avocado should be divided into 5 – 1 oz servings- providing 50 calories, 3.5 grams unsaturated fat, total fat of 4.5 grams.  With one avocado totaling 250 calories, you can see a bowl of guacamole (and the fried chips) can provide 500-1000 calories and 50-75 grams of fat pretty quickly. 

Hopefully this does not scare you away from eating avocadoes.  Research has found that people who include avocadoes regularly in their diet actually weigh less than those who avoid avocadoes.  Between being a healthy fat, low carbohydrate, and good source of fiber, avocados are a win, win situation.

Avocadoes are not just for guacamole. Try adding avocado to salads, deli sandwiches or wraps, cottage cheese, soups, rice and beans, tacos, ceviche, salsa, pasta salad, tostado, hamburger, baked potato, and whatever else you can come up with!

Here are some great recipes to try from the California Avocado Commision. Enjoy!

Gone are the days that you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want.

Adding to the frustration is the fact that not all metabolism perform equally. Where one person can just look at food and gain weight another can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound?

Before you decide to hijack somebody else’s metabolism or simply give-up on your own, know this… every body has a Skinny Gene. Some people just have to put in a little more effort to get their metabolism working for them, rather than against them.

We, the Skinny Gene Project, specialize in creating healthy metabolisms. To help you ignite your Skinny Gene, we put together a FREE email series on foods you can eat that will improve your overall health and boost your metabolism. SIGN UP TODAY

Your metabolism is one of the most complicated systems in your body. Some people with a master’s degree in nutrition have a hard time understanding all of its complexities, so how can you be expected to know how to speed up your metabolism? That’s why we’re here to help!

HOW TO SPEED UP YOUR METABOLISM

Unfortunately, there is no miracle pill or food, that when taken by itself, will boost your metabolism. Think of your metabolism as being a system that only operates because of the sum of its parts, like a bicycle.

Similar to a bicycle, your metabolism needs momentum (action) to work. You have to exert energy to push the pedals. The harder you pedal, the faster you go. Like the bicycle, the more exercise and energy you exert the better your metabolism will perform.

Exercise (energy) is just one part. You also need to eat the right foods, in the right quantities, to optimize your metabolism.

The food is the foundation; it is the “wheel” that keeps your metabolism going. Just as the spokes of the wheel support the rim, the quality of the foods you eat support the health of your metabolism.

Imagine that each spoke on the wheel represents: water, fat, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, sodium, cholesterol, EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids), and vitamins & minerals. To make your metabolism as “strong” as possible, you would need to ensure that your body is getting the right amount of each nutrient (e.g. fiber). Eating too much or too little of each element could slow down your metabolism, like peddling through mud or having sticks in your spokes.

Below are 25 of our favorite foods to improve your metabolism (in no particular order):
