Unfortunately, eating a certain food or taking a supplement is not a magic bullet for weight loss. Turns out, there is no ‘easy’ way to boost your metabolism
When you go for a long run or bike ride, for example, your muscles break down their stored glycogen into glucose that’s then used to fuel muscle cells.Q: I’m trying to lose weight. Can I help my diet along by eating certain foods or taking a supplement that boosts my metabolism?
It includes the series of chemical reactions that build new tissues, store energy and maintain body tissues. For instance, your body uses amino acids from protein in foods to build muscle, enzymes and hormones. Your resting metabolism accounts for the majority of calories your body expends each day . The remainder of your total daily energy expenditure comes from physical activity and digesting food .
Studies have found that capsaicin, the ingredient in chili peppers that gives them heat, influences metabolic rate. But you’d have to wait a while to see results. Chromium, a mineral involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, is often said to increase fat-burning. However, controlled studies of chromium supplements have failed to find any beneficial effect on weight or fat loss.CLA is another supplement. While research suggests that CLA may have a modest effect on reducing body fat in overweight people, there’s inconsistent evidence whether it causes weight loss.
Add resistance training to your weight-loss program . Many studies have demonstrated the ability of resistance exercise to prevent the muscle loss that typically occurs with dieting.
