1. Drink more water

Your body needs water to burn calories. Even with mild dehydration, your metabolism will slow down. A research study showed that those who drank eight or more glasses of water a day burned more calories than those who drank four.

To stay hydrated, you may want to drink a glass of water before each meal. Also try to eat more fruits and vegetables as snacks - instead of potato chips and the like - as fruits and vegetables have a naturally high content of water.

Build muscle

Your body burns calories all the time - even when you relax on the couch. At rest, the metabolism is significantly higher in people with a lot of muscle. This is because muscle tissue needs more maintenance than fat - so about every 1/2 pound of muscle uses 7 calories to stay going. In comparison, every 1/2 kilo of fat consumes 2 calories a day.

This small difference can make a big difference over time. After a workout, the muscles in the body are also activated - which also increases metabolism and fat burning.

Eat smarter and more often

Eating more frequently can actually contribute to weight loss. When you eat large, heavy meals with many hours in between meals, fat burning and metabolism will decrease between food intake.

Eating a small snack or snack every 3 or 4 hours keeps your metabolism going - so you burn calories throughout the day. Several studies have also shown that those who eat snacks regularly eat smaller portions at lunch and dinner. We point out that, of course, these snacks should be of the healthy kind.

4. More Protein = More Burning

Your body burns many more calories when it digests proteins compared to fats and carbohydrates. By reducing the carbohydrates in your meals and replacing them with protein-rich meat, turkey, fish, tofu, nuts, beans and eggs - you can actually increase your metabolism and metabolism.

5. Drink black coffee

Studies have shown that one of the benefits of coffee drinking may be a temporary increase in metabolism and burnout. Caffeine can have an invigorating effect and even increase your stamina as you exercise.

6. Eat stronger and more spicy foods

Strong foods, such as chili, have natural nutrients that can increase metabolism. Using chili peppers in cooking can increase metabolism, but the effect is temporary and temporary - however, if you eat stronger foods more regularly, you will be able to enjoy this effect for a longer period of time.

7. Green tea

Research has shown that catechins and caffeine can increase metabolism. Catechins are found naturally in green tea. 2-4 cups of such tea during the day can send the metabolism into high gear - which can actually cause the body to increase calorie burning by as much as 17% with moderate exercise and activity.
