How To Kick Up Your Metabolism Into High Gear And Lose Those Extra Pounds
Now I know we've all noticed how easy it is to put on a few extra pounds over the years.
We just don't seem to burn those extra calories that we sneak in during the day.
After about a week of stealing that extra cookie, piece of cake or candy bar when we step on that scale we notice those extra pounds catching up with us.
But you don't have to stand for this..
...
Right there in your pocket, in your purse or attached to your hip isyour key to skyrocketing your metabolism and burning off those extra calories..
..
to lose the weight.
I'm not talking about some pill or some new expensive gadget...
what I'm talking about is your cellphone.
That's right...
your cellphone is your key to jump starting your metabolism and keeping you on the road to weight loss and a leaner, healthier you.
Let's first talk about your Basal Metabolic Rate or your BMR.
Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the rate at which your body burns calories while you're sleeping.
That's right, your BMR is the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day long! Your BMR can be calculated with a fancy equation or with a hand-held device but the bottom line is this..
..
the older you get, the lower your Basal Metabolic Rate and the slower your body works to burn calories.
For instance, take a 5′7″ 40 year old woman who weighs 140 pounds, her BMR is 1383->which means she burns 1383 calories each day by just doing nothing.
Fifteen years ago at the age of 25, that same woman who's 5′7″ and 140 pounds, burns almost 1454 calories at rest..
..
that's over 70 more calories! Clear evidence that your body's ability to burn calories changes as we age..
..
so here's your chance to rev up your metabolism with your cellphone.
Here's how: Set your cellphone's alarm to ring or vibrate every three hours to remind you to eat.
That means during a 16 hour day you'll eat about 5 times during the day.
Now the key to eating five meals throughout the day is to keep your total calories or intake the same...
just spread out those meals into smaller meals.
So instead of eating a whole sandwich with a salad for lunch...
eat half the sandwich with the salad for lunch and save the other half for your snack three hours later.
By eating every three hours you force your body to work more often to breakdown and digest your food, keeping your body more active throughout the day.
And if you add regular exercise into the mix, you'll be that much closer to realizing your goal of maintaining a healthier and leaner body.
So remember to set your alarms!
