A List Of Foods That Speed Up Metabolism - What The Diet Industry Is Trying To Hide

A mate recently asked me a query that made me take notice: "If somebody gave you, at no cost, a list of foods known to speed up your metabolism; and if each of those foods were lovely for you, would you need to eat them?"

Something is obviously wrong with the diet industry. I don't need to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but they have a reason to keep people fat. Give it some thought. With all of the low-fat, no-carb, "eat all the cabbage you want" diets that are out there, people are still gaining weight. At the very least it shows that the diet gurus do not have all of the answers, or are not sharing them in the event that they do.

The weight loss industry won't like me saying this, but you can lose weight by applying a first rate amount of common sense. All you need to do is expend more calories than you take in. That is all. Take in fewer calories by eating less, and expend them by exercising more. To make things simpler, you can eat definite foods that will help to boost your metabolism.

Chances are you would be shocked to see plenty of foods you enjoy on that list. The chances are also lovely that you would find some foods you like, but select to keep away from because you have been satisfied that they are not conducive to weight loss. For example, low-fat dieters often shy away from nuts because of their fat content. Those on low-carb diets stay away from most grains. And the most earnest low-carb dieters won't eat fruit because they contain natural sugars.

Did you know that hot peppers like jalapeno, habanero and cayenne actually speed up metabolism. The same part that makes them hot, capsaicin, can also fire up your metabolism for hours after you eat them. In the event you select spicy dishes that are also low-fat, you will come out even farther ahead in the battle to lose weight. 

High up on the list for metabolism boosting foods are tuna, salmon and sardines. This is because they work to lower your body's level of the hormone leptin. Research has shown that lower levels of leptin make for simple weight loss. In addition, they are each high in Omega-3 fatty acids which are lovely fats for a healthy heart. Another source of lovely fat for increasing metabolism is olive oil. See, you can have your fat and eat it, !

Other foods that get the inner furnace stoked up include whole grains. Because they take longer to digest, the body keeps expending energy to move them along and they prevent spikes in blood sugar, . Cinnamon can also regulate blood sugar levels and aids in revving up metabolism. Foods that are high in protein like lean meat, eggs, beans and nuts will have your body humming along. The final entry on the list of foods that boost metabolism for weight loss is to drink plenty of water. Not because it will help you feel full, or necessarily make you lose weight, but because it keeps everything else walking the way it ought to.
