Metabolism Boosters Myths

When people ask me what some metabolism boosters are and I give them a simple answer they find it hard to believe.  They will ask but what about the diet pills, calorie deficiencies or low intensity workouts.  I would like to say first that the best way to speed up your metabolism is through exercise, lifestyle change and eating properly.  Sorry to disappoint those who think there is an easy way out.   While I'm not here to discuss with you the details of what you can do to speed up your metabolism, I am here to talk about the general misconceptions regarding metabolism boosters.

 

Let's start off with diet pills.  This is probably hands down one of the biggest misconceptions about metabolism, that you can simply take a pill and it will speed up your metabolism.  While I can't argue that diet pills may not boost your metabolism temporarily it is hard to imagine that it would continue to help in the long run.  When you take any pill to help lose weight it is best to consult with your doctor before beginning.  Remember that most diet pills are water lose pills.  Water loss pills offer only temporary weight loss which comes back as soon as you replenish yourself.

 

Calorie decencies is another one of those myths that surround your metabolism.  The thing to remember that weight lose isn't controlled by calories but really your metabolism.   So with that said, the idea of cutting calories isn't going to help you lose weight because it doesn't change your metabolism.  If you slow down your calorie intake you slow down your metabolism.

 

Low intensity workouts.  While it is true that exercise is good, low intensity workouts just don't lead to a faster metabolism.  If you don't achieve a high-intensity workout your body can will not draw the calories it needs to burn fat from your body.  Remember that low intensity workouts are better than nothing at all but once you reach a level of basic fitness, only high intensity workouts will force your body to find energy to help maintain that level of exercise.

 

These common misconceptions of metabolism have caused people to waste hard earned money on things like pills and have taken them to cut calories drastically.  This is quite the opposite as you have read.  So the next time you want to burn calories remember to work out harder, eat more but eat healthy and don't buy into the pills.
