Muscle Increases Metabolism

     It’s a well known fact that  muscle increases metabolism  by those who exercise and train regularly BUT unknown to those who do not and seek to loose weight.

  • Mix Nuts, Trail Mixes
  • Cheese

  • Ginger, Black Pepper and Red Chili Pepper

Another way foods increase your metabolic rate is by eating more often. Indeed as you eat 5 to 6 times a day, smaller portions of course, you kick your metabolism in high gear makes your body burn the fat as the fuel and stop weight gain as well. As a matter of fact if you eat 2 big meals a day, you slow down your metabolism and store fat in reserve. Not a good idea.
