2. Eating, Metabolism & Fat Loss
• When it comes to fat loss, diet and nutrition plays an important
role
• Food give you nutrients and energy and can in fact help you
accelerate fat loss too. The secret to that? The quality and timing
of eating
• Burn more calories while at rest by watching what you eat, and
also when you eat
• Here’s 5 really simple ways to speed up your body’s metabolism

3. 1. Do not skip breakfast
• Breakfast does wonders in kickstarting your
metabolism
• Have a nutritious and fulfilling morning meal so that
if you satisfy your appetite early in the day, this will
help to prevent binge eating later on
• You should be consuming solid food which includes
a good balance of macronutrients such as complex
carbohydrates (from whole grain like granola,
oatmeal or wholemeal bread), along with some
protein and fats (low-fat yogurt, milk, peanut butter)

4. 2. Eat at regular hours everyday
• Get into the habit of having fixed meal hours if possible and try
to abide to them strictly
• When you eat erratically and at times go for long hours without
food, your body may enter starvation mode, i.e. metabolism
slows down greatly, as it doesn’t know when to expect food
intake again.
• This leads to the storage of fats as a “back-up” source of
energy
• Once you start having your meals at regular timing with fixed
intervals, your body becomes familiar with that routine
• When food is given at those regular hours, metabolism
continues to burn steadily instead of fluctuating

5. 3. Ensure you consume protein every meal
• Protein consumption will actually help to reduce
your appetite, because similar to carbohydrates, it
also gives you the feeling of satisfaction while
having a meal
• Protein also requires more energy to digest hence
your net calorie intake from per unit of protein is
reduced
• In fact, when you consume a combination of
protein and carbohydrates, you will find that you
feel full longer as compared to eating
carbohydrates alone

6. 4. Resist the temptation to snack
• Many people often reach out for a snack or a quick bite when
they are feeling tired or worn out but the real reason for
needing to eat a snack is often not real hunger
• It could be just due to boredom or slight fatigue due to
concentrating on a task for too long.
• Instead of snacking, go for a 10 to 15 minutes brisk walk
around your workstation or just out of the office to get some air
• This should help in raising your heart rate which will give you a
boost in energy levels
• Drink more water if you have been glued to your desk the
entire day and haven’t been hydrating yourself

7. 5. Consume enough calories based on your body’s needs
• Consuming too little calories slows down your body’s metabolic
rate the same way as eating too infrequently or erratically does
• Aiming for weight loss doesn’t mean that you have to slash your
calorie intake drastically. In fact, that’s counter productive to your
efforts
• Instead, aim to gradually decrease the calories in your overall diet
• One good starting point will be to cut out some of the unnecessary
calories from junk food in your diet
• Beverages are often a secret major contributor to your calorie
consumption. Soda, fruit juices, caffeine beverages of coffee
houses all contain high amounts of sugar which may actually be
the culprit for your weight gain
