Being overweight has become a huge problem in many regions of the world, dieting as a result

has become a global obsession. One of the best ways to lose weight is to increase your metabolism.

There are a variety of ways you can do this, lets explore how we might rev up our metabolism and

achieve weight loss effectively.

Build  more muscle. Increasing muscle mass increases your metabolism which helps you burn

more  calories, which helps you lose weight. This being said get yourself a set of dumb bells and work out.

You should aim for doing three sets of 10-12 repetitions regardless of the movement you choose.

And another great benefit of building muscle mass is that they burn calories at rest wow!

Eat more often. Surprisingly eating a meal actually raises your metabolism. Our bodies use food as

fuel so when you eat something your bodily engine revs up to utilize the gas you are putting in the engine.

The key when eating is to opt for more healthy choices when eating or snacking. Have an apple or a peach

instead of that greasy bag of chips. And if you really want to raise that metabolic rate have some protein.

Drink green tea. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols  which help to supercharge

your metabolic rate thus enhancing your weight loss efforts. A side benefit of green tea is its renown for

inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

Exercise more. Nothing increases metabolism like exercise so it behooves you to get up and get moving.

You can take a walk, you can ride a bike, you can play tennis or softball. You can get on a treadmill if you like.

Just make sure you commit  yourself to exercising most days of the week and you will be amazed at the results

you can achieve.
