EATING FOR YOUR METABOLISM

. The best way to safely and successfully lose weight is to eat in a way that boosts your metabolism. Here are a few simple ways to do that:

1. Always eat breakfast
2. Then focus on eating smaller, more frequent meals, aiming to eat 5 to 6 times per day, every 2 to 3 hours. This will provide your body with a constant supply of energy all day and allow your metabolism to function at its peak.
3. Always include a lean or low-fat protein source with each meal/snack. For example:
   • Unsalted, dry roasted nuts or seeds
   • Low-fat Greek yogurt
   • 2% cottage cheese
   • Low-fat cheese
4. Focus on eating more calories earlier on in the day.
   • Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a pauper at dinner
     More carbohydrates at breakfast and lunch
   • Avoid carbohydrates at dinner
   • No eating after dinner
5. Schedule time to exercise. Exercise can help boost your metabolism and build lean muscle. For every pound of muscle you add, your body will burn 50 more calories.

Believe in yourself. You can succeed in reaching your weight loss and health goals. Create a healthy style, give it time, and you can expect to receive desired results!
