What is metabolism?

  • How fast your body's "engine" runs on average, over time, determines how many calories you burn. If your metabolism is "high" (or fast), you will burn more calories at rest and during activity. A high metabolism means you'll need to take in more calories to maintain your weight.
  1. Allow yourself to go through different phases of the journey. Cutting, maintenance, bulking

2- Focus on Building high quality muscle

  • Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does, so incorporating strength training into your exercise routine can help increase your metabolism. Include exercises like weight lifting, bodyweight exercises, or resistance band workouts.

3- Stay Active

  • Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or biking instead of driving short distances, and finding ways to move throughout the day.

4- Increase Protein intake

  • Protein requires more energy to digest compared to carbs or fat, so including protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts in your diet can help boost your metabolism.

5- Stay Hydrated-

  • Drinking enough water is essential for a healthy metabolism. Even mild dehydration can slow down your metabolism, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

6- Get Enough Sleep:

  • Lack of sleep can disrupt your metabolism and lead to weight gain. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support a healthy metabolism.

7- Manage Stress:
Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances that can slow down your metabolism. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or spending time in nature.

Remember that individual metabolism can vary based on factors like age, genetics, and body composition. It's essential to focus on overall health and well-being rather than solely on boosting metabolism for weight loss.
