I understand how you are feeling. It is hard to lose weight; it requires a lot of patience and persistence. Giving up foods you love is hard to do and sticking to an exercise routine can be difficult due to schedules.
Beth, another person who struggled with weight loss, would do the yo-yo thing. She would lose some weight, get happy, then life happened and she pack it back on pretty fast. She was incredibly frustrated – trying all the new fad diets and crazy expensive weight loss machines, it was maddening to her.
You feel the same way?
Well, both of you know nothing about losing weight.
Everyone says that the secrets to losing weight is diet and exercise. I mean, sure, that does seem to make sense. But the problem with that is this – it doesn’t explain why some people STAY skinny, and can eat whatever they want and have no physical exercise!
Think about it – you probably know people who just seem to do whatever they want and they stay wonderfully skinny. Why is that? So, how do these people do it? Metabolism!
Duh, right?
Well, yes it is pretty obvious. But the bigger question isn’t what it is, but how to get it. See, some people do have a naturally higher metabolism…but that isn’t always the case that it’s natural. In fact, there are certain things you can do which will raise it.
Here is one thing you can do to raise it, and you don’t do a single thing to change your routine! You have probably heard the ol’ saying chew your food. Right? But what if I told you there is an even more important reason for chewing? Well, there is.
See, if you chew your food at least 45 times per bite, you actually make it easier for your stomach to digest food.And get this: Your stomach takes more energy digesting than the rest of your body…besides your brain of course. So this means if you lesson the amount of work it does, you actually increase your energy levels. And it goes even farther!
By chewing MORE you actually release more nutrients during the digestion process. This, in turn, gives you better overall health, it encourages a raised metabolism, which helps you lose weight! So as you can see, this is incredibly powerful. And something you can start doing now!
Pretty cool huh?
Raise metabolism, lose weight. See, we want to lose weight for good. And that is why it is so vitally important we focus on raising our metabolism first and foremost. When you raise it, you tend to keep the weight off longer – and have more freedom in what you eat – meaning less yo-yo and yummy food!
