Throughout the day try to be mindful of little decisions that could make a big difference in your metabolism. Have I had enough water today? Maybe I should have a green tea instead of the second cup of coffee! Here are of my favorite ways to boost my metabolism daily.
Detox with flaxseed – flaxseeds provide the perfect addition to your favorite meal. They contain antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. See link below for more information and ways to eat flaxseed.
Tip: Eat with cinnamon on top to further boost your metabolism and ease the bitterness of the grapefruit.
Try Something New – Variety in a workout regimen can enhance results by incorporating new muscles and preventing boredom from a routine. It will also help prevent injury from overuse. To start, use the variations of a lunge suggested above and then progress to adding weight.
Replace Chips with Pumpkin Seeds – They have the healthy fats we need without the added oils and refined carbohydrates that are in our favorite chips.
Suggestion: I found pumpkin seeds in the shell at Trader Joe’s. They are light, crunchy and dusted with sea salt. 15 oz bag for only $3!
