I understand how you feel. It is difficult to lose weight; requires a lot of patience and persistence. Giving up the 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, she would get happy, then life happened and she gained it back pretty quickly. She was incredibly frustrated: trying all the new fad diets and crazy expensive weight loss machines was driving her crazy.
Do you feel the same?
Well, you two don’t know anything about losing weight.
Everyone says that the secrets to losing weight are diet and exercise. I mean, sure, that seems 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 not exercise!
Think about it: You probably know people who seem to do what they want and stay wonderfully slim. Why is that? So how do these people do it? Metabolism!
TRUE?
Well yeah, it’s pretty obvious. But the big question is not what it is, but how to get it. See, some people have a naturally higher metabolism… but that’s not always the case that it’s natural. In fact, there are certain things you can do that will lift you up.
Here’s one thing you can do to raise him, and it does nothing to change his routine! You’ve probably heard the old saying chew your food. Good? But what if I told you there’s an even more important reason to chew? 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 the food. And get this: your stomach needs more energy to digest than the rest of your body…besides your brain, of course. So this means that if you give the amount of work you do a lesson, you actually increase your energy levels. And it goes even further!
By chewing MORE, you actually release more nutrients during the digestion process. This, in turn, gives you better overall health, encourages a fast metabolism, which helps you lose weight! As you can see, this is incredibly powerful. And something you can start doing now!
Pretty cool, huh?
Increase metabolism, lose weight. Look, we want to lose weight forever. And that is why it is so vitally important that we focus on increasing our metabolism first and foremost. When you increase it, you tend to keep the weight off longer and have more freedom in what you eat, which means less yo-yoing and delicious food.
