How Do I Increase My Metabolism Quickly? - Articles Surfing

I know I can increase it, but how can I increase my metabolism quickly? This is a question many dieters and people on weight loss has asked. How to burn fat fast, seem to be more important than long termed fat loss. What you must understand is that you can start to burn your body fat fast, but you can't loose all your excess fat over night. What is metabolism actually? Metabolism is the process our bodies use to burn the calories from the food that we eat.

It is scientifically proven that as we grow older our metabolism will slow down incrementally. To be more precisely this slowdown starts between our 20th and 40th year of life. The sad thing is that we from the nature are programmed to gain body fat while losing lean body mass If you are a young man of age 25 your metabolism will slow down approximately 5 percent per decade. As a matter of fact, we can't control ageing but we can do several things to speed up our metabolism all the rest of our lives.

Below I will go through three of the most important ones:

The more you Increase your muscle mass the more your metabolism will increase
Your lean body mass is by far the most important factor of metabolism. Muscle burns up to 90% more calories than fat. Let's say you add three to five pounds of muscle and you could burn 100 - 250 additional calories per day. If you perform weight or resistance training as little as 2-3 times a week. Weight lifting can be anything from carrying your grosceries home to weight training in a fitness center.

Keep yourself in motion regularly
After a regular exercise such as walking, biking and swimming your metabolism rate will increase not only during the activity but for several hours after. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a great and natural way to embody exercise in your daily life. Even house cleaning or cutting the lawn can increase your fat burning rate.

Eat, eat and eat - don't ever skip a meal
If you try to lose weight by skipping meals or not eat at all, your metabolism will decrease which is the opposite of losing fat. What the body does when it goes into 'starvation mode' is to compensate for the low calorie intake by decreasing the metabolic rate. Instead of burning fat it will burn lean muscles. So whatever weight loss program you follow eat all your meals and don't drop your calorie intake under 1000 per day.

Start with these three ways to increase your body's fat burning process. There are many additional ways that you can add later. To get a flying start however, following these three tips will do the job.
