Weight Loss Tip: Foods That Increase Metabolism
Many people want to get rid of unwanted weight in a hurry. They try the semistarvation method, where they exist on very low-calorie, low-cabohydrate regimens which are fewer than one thousand calories a day. These diets cause your body to react in a way similar way to fasting in that your body, thinking there is a famine, hangs on to every calorie. There is some initial weight loss from water and lean tissue. However, you rapidly regain the weight and then some when you start to eat normally again. Not only does the water weight come back immediately, such extremes have proven to backfire as you wind up burning up only muscle rather than fat; you slow your metabolism rather than rev it up and gain more in the long run thus defeating your purpose.
