Metabolism Boosters To Eat & Drink ASAP!

Having a fast metabolism is the secret to losing weight, keeping it off, and controlling every aspect of your health, which includes allergies, autoimmune disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes, dementia, depression, heart disease, and more, all driven by inflammation. 

The most important thing to keep your metabolism revved up is: EAT! Think of your metabolism like building a fire. You have to keep feeding it intermittently all day; every 3-4 hours is best in order for it to burn fat.

Green Apple

The most important thing to keep your metabolism revved up is: EAT! Think of your metabolism like building a fire. You have to keep feeding it intermittently all day; every 3-4 hours is best in order for it to burn fat. Have a green apple specifically around 3 p.m. each day. That's when blood sugar can get unruly and slow your fat-burning metabolism. An apple a day keeps belly fat away.

LynFit Natural Whey Protein Shake

The best way to wake up a slow metabolism every day is to drink a LynFit Natural Whey Shake within 30-60 minutes of waking up.

Most typical, trendy proteins sold today aren't clean enough to boost your metabolic fire. LynFit Natural whey protein peptides is THE cleanest, purest, and most potent protein. It has the specific amino acid profile needed to burn calories and prevent muscle loss that slows metabolism and leads to hair loss, weak nails, and crepey skin. Natural Whey also boosts collagen production, and that's why it should be prioritized over collagen.

At 58, I combine both every morning. One scoop of LynFit Natural Whey delivers 20 grams of clean, metabolic-boosting protein and all the essential amino acids your body needs in 120 calories, plus 5 grams of prebiotic fiber to help balance blood sugar and keep you fuller longer, making it easier to stick to the plan. 

Lisa Protein Maxxing Tip: Ladies over age 40, make sure you're getting proper amounts of protein every day. MORE isn't better; BETTER protein is your best option. Aim for one gram of clean protein per pound of lean muscle (use your goal weight). 

White Fish

Most people consume too much chicken when it comes to consuming protein. What they don’t realize is that chicken is higher in calories and saturated fat, which slows weight loss and blocks fat burning that becomes harder as we age (listen up, menopausal women and anyone with excess belly fat).

Focus on white fish instead! The lighter and whiter the fish, the better it is for your metabolism and the more it will help boost fat burning. White fish/seafood is higher in iodine, which is critical for anyone struggling with autoimmune or thyroid issues. Focus on flaky white fish, the kind that breaks easily with a fork. It's the easiest to digest, and you can eat more of it.

A serving of chicken breast is 3 oz. max for a woman, compared to a serving of white fish that's 4-5 oz., sometimes up to 6 ounces, depending on the white fish or seafood you choose. Salmon is higher in fat, so it's not quite as good for weight loss, but it does deliver omega-3 fatty acids we all need more of; stick to a 3 oz serving and limit it to 1-2 times weekly. 

Turkey Breast Trumps Chicken

Consider chicken a decent backup for fish, or choose turkey breast, which is leaner than chicken and burns cleaner, boosting your metabolic fat-burning fires.

Turkey packs as much protein as chicken, but turkey is lower in calories and fat as long as you choose turkey breast instead of dark meat, wings, and you avoid skin.

A standard serving size is 3 oz. for women trying to lose weight. Men get a few extra ounces due to their hormonal makeup, and they have more muscle to feed. Ladies, if you need an additional 1-2 ounces, it’s better to have more turkey than default to inferior protein sources that aren’t metabolically superior.

What about egg whites? Egg whites are fat-free and deliver quite a protein punch, but what most people don’t realize as they age is that their bodies have a hard time digesting the protein in egg whites. And they are binders, meaning they can cause gas, bloating, and constipation that takes days to clear, if you know what I mean. Especially if you're not eating enough leafy greens.

Thermogenic Leafy Greens

Not all leafy greens or vegetables are created equal. In fact, some of the trendiest greens like cabbage, kale, and spinach can have a negative effect on thyroid health, even if you don't have autoimmune issues.

Focus on leafy green salad veggies instead, like romaine lettuce, spring mixes, or green leaf lettuce. They are more thermogenic, meaning they burn better than any other vegetable. It's okay to add some cucumber slices or purple cabbage for a pop of color .

Everybody should be eating at least 1-2 large leafy green salads every day. A serving of lettuce is 3 cups, so aim for at least two servings daily. A leafy green salad a day keeps your system regular and contains enzymes that help support digestion, which slips as we age and also contributes to metabolic slowdown and can accelerate aging. 

Black Coffee

Black coffee specifically is a great metabolizer, but the second you start adding milk of any kind, including nut, oat, soy milks, or new trendy syrups or creamers, all bets are off!

The caffeine in coffee is one of the oldest, most effective, and healthiest tricks in the book for fat loss. It needs to be black coffee, not trendy mushroom or herbal fads. No skim milk or sugar, all of which block fat burning.

Can't drink your coffee black? Try adding cinnamon with two Stevia packets, or boost your metabolism with a splash of LynFit Clean Collagen Peptide Liquid. It adds a delicious flavor boost plus 10 grams of clean collagen protein peptides, making it easier to hit your protein goals. The only side effect is a faster metabolism, faster-growing hair and nails, firmer skin, and fewer aches, pains, and stiffness. 

ALL milks and creamers, including skim milk and seemingly healthy nut milks, contain lactose and other sugars, most of which are not shown on the label, which is also why you can't get rid of a sugar belly, no matter how much you exercise. 

Focus on Omega-3 Essential Fats

When it comes to improving your metabolic health, the kind of fats you consume matter more than most think. In order to reset your metabolic rate, you have to rethink the fats you consume to naturally address blood sugar and inflammatory markers that control your metabolic rate. 

Swap out olive oil, butter, and nuts, which we are eating too much of, for a cleaner unsaturated oil instead. Omega-3 is an essential fat our bodies cannot live without. It is known as the “fat-burning fat,” but it also reduces inflammation that promotes aches, pain, and stiffness, all of which slow metabolic rate too.

Focus on the BEST FATS for your BODY and your metabolism instead.

Cold-pressed, natural omega-3s include pure canola oil and walnut oil. And if you're not eating salmon twice a week or have arthritis, I suggest supplementing with LynFit Pure Omega 3 to ensure your body gets the ratios it needs every day to avoid metabolic slowdown and/or unruly blood sugar or inflammatory levels.
