An interview with Dr. David Magnano of Nature’s Sources
Have you been living on celery sticks and rice crackers but haven’t been able to lose more than a pound or two?
Dr. David Magnano is here to help you get the scale moving in the right direction with 5 tips to boost your slow metabolism – and bust that belly fat that just never seems to go away!
Don’t skip breakfast – eat some protein:
“Although you might not feel like eating, morning is the right time to have a big helping of protein,” says Dr. Magnano. Bacon, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and even steak are protein-rich possibilities. As you digest this high protein meal, your metabolism will rise and your blood sugar will stabilize. Other meals throughout the day should also include protein and no refined carbs.
Move your body – challenge your muscles
We have become used to sitting at our desks, sitting in the car, sitting when we eat, sitting at night while we watch TV. To elevate metabolism, we’ve got to move. To elevate metabolism and speed weight loss you need regular short, high intensity workouts, and weight resistance training to increase your muscle mass.
Digestive enzymes – a secret weapon:
As we age, our production of digestive enzymes slows and our digestion becomes inefficient, requiring us to consume bigger food portions in order to extract enough nutrients to feel satiated,” says Dr. Magnano. “Digestive enzyme supplements can support metabolism and our wellness level by helping to make available critical nutrients, amino acids and essential fatty acids that we don’t always absorb from our food. AbsorbAid Plus plant-derived digestive enzymes have been proven to increase vital nutrient absorption by up to 71%.”
Get a good night’s sleep
Lack of sleep is linked to a major increase in the risk of obesity. This may partly be caused by the negative effects of sleep deprivation on metabolism. Lack of sleep has also been linked with increased blood sugar levels and insulin resistance. It’s also been shown to boost the hunger hormone ghrelin, and decrease the fullness hormone leptin.
Drink green tea or Oolong tea
Green tea and oolong tea have been shown to increase metabolism by 4–5%. These teas help convert some of the fat stored in your body into free fatty acids, which may increase fat burning by 10–17%.
