Here are 3
MORE foods that set your Metabolism on Fire and Boost your Energy All Day!
- Berries: I call them
“nature’s candy”! They are naturally sweet, and are PACKED full of
antioxidants, metabolism-boosting vitamins and phytochemicals, and
cancer-fighting flavanoids. Blueberries and raspberries also contain
lutein, which helps promote healthy vision.
2. Cayenne
Pepper: You may have heard people say that spicy food boosts your
metabolism…. But are they right?! Well, yes – as long as that spicy food
isn’t from the greasy Mexican restaurant down the street. The reason why
cayenne pepper raises your metabolism is this: spicy food raises your body
temperature, which then forces your body to work harder to cool itself
down. This “cooling” process actually requires calories…which thus
generates a sort of “fire” for your metabolism. So, if you can take the
heat, GO FOR IT! Sprinkle it (sparingly) on your turkey or chicken or on
your lean hamburgers. You can even use it to spice up your veggies and your
soup, if you dare.
3. Chicken
breast: Like turkey, this is a lean meat that no diet should be
without! Just don’t forget to remove the skin, and don’t eat it fried… as
this totally kills all the health benefits.
