"Foods That Increase Metabolism? ... Here's the Good News"...

Yes, there are definitely foods that increase metabolism!  That is the wonderful thing about this program ... rather than restricting your calorie intake, which slows down your metabolism, this program focuses on finding ways to increase your metabolism by eating more healthy food!

The "Diet Free ... At Last!" Weight Loss Program teaches you:

• 10 snacks that everybody thinks are safe, low-fat snacks ... but really they trigger food cravings and cause you to gain weight! (See page 34 of the "Diet Free ... At Last!" Weight Loss Program e-book)

• Better snacks to eat to accelerate your weight loss ... even foods you have previously been told are fattening and to avoid!

 And here is a sneak preview of the types of foods that increase metabolism...

• all fruits

• all vegetables

• healthy essential fatty acids,  omega-3 and omega-6, contained in foods like flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, cold-water fish like tuna, sardines, salmon, mackerel, nuts and seeds, especially walnuts which is high in Omega-3

• whole grains like oats, barley, whole wheat, rye, amaranth, millet, buckwheat, quinoa and brown rice

• lean protein like beef, lamb, pork, chicken, veal, beans and legumes, tofu and eggs

Pretty much any food that is in as natural a state as possible and has very little processing is going to increase your metabolism.  It is important not to restrict calories because this actually slows down metabolism.  Try to eat 3 meals and 3 small snacks each day, eating every 3 to 4 hours.  This keeps your metabolism high because each time you eat, your body has to digest the food and it increases metabolism in order to burn off these calories. 

Now, please don't take this as license to go crazy and eat an excessive amount of calories.  Obviously you have to use common sense and eat a comfortable amount of food.  You will find that as your body gets used to you eating real food that is high in vitamins and nutrients, you will naturally find that food cravings and hunger pains will diminish and you won't feel the necessity to overeat. 

Previously when the body was only being fed highly processed foods that had no real nutrient value, it would trigger hunger pains and food cravings in the hope that if you ate more food it would get the nutrients it needed.  Unfortunately, in our western society it is quite easy to eat a huge amount of food that has practically zero nutritional value, but adds up to an amazing amount of calories.  So even though you are eating huge amounts of food, your body is still starving for nutrients.  And believe me, the "so-called" healthy low-fat foods fall into the category of foods that have no nutritional value and will leave you craving more food. 

And how do I know this?  Because I spent many years following low-fat diets from a major weight loss centre and because this program said I could eat anything I wanted, but just to make sure I kept within the number of calories or number of servings they advised.  I did this, but I would choose foods and snacks that were low-fat and so-called healthy and I would eat less fruits and vegetables so that I could eat more of these yummy snack foods.  By doing this, I found that as time went on I lost less and less weight, sometimes only one or two pounds per month!  And I found myself developing more and more health conditions including asthma, insulin resistance, leaky gut, candida and much more.

So, please do your body a favour and change the way you eat to include foods that increase metabolism naturally because they are high in nutrients and vitamins.  And the foods that increase metabolism naturally are all whole, natural foods as listed above. 

So, there you have it ... the foods that increase metabolism aren't really a "secret" at all.  They are just basic common sense and having a getting "back to basics" attitude to life and eating.
