Fiber35 Metabolic Boosters

Thirty-five may be the magic number on The Fiber35 Diet, but 7 is pretty important, too. It refers to the 7 Metabolic Boosters that will help you maximize your weight loss efforts by supporting your metabolism during and after each weight loss phase.

7 Ways to Help Shed the Pounds

• Frequent eating (5 to 6 times daily). Constantly fueling your metabolism is the key to maximizing your weight loss efforts. Frequent eating will do this by stimulating thermogenesis (the energy required by our bodies to digest food) and preventing your brain from entering starvation mode.
• Muscle boosting. Muscle cells are nearly eight times more metabolically demanding than fat cells. The greater your ratio of lean body mass is to fat, the faster your metabolism will be and the more calories you will burn.
• Aerobic exercise. Because aerobic exercise significantly boosts your metabolism, a regular exercise routine (at least 30 minutes three times a week) will greatly increase your weight loss progress.
• Drinking plenty of water. Researchers have found that the more water you drink, the more your metabolism will increase. A good rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces each day.
• 8 hours of sleep every night. Because sleep deprivation has been linked to low energy, increased food consumption and decreased physical activity, it is critical to get a full 8 hours of sleep each night.
• Using the sauna. Because our body produces sweat in response to heat, the more you sweat, the more calories you will burn. Sweating also raises your metabolic rate, which helps you burn even more calories.
• Detoxification. Because a build-up of toxins in the body can limit your ability to burn fat and slow down your metabolic rate, it is important to frequently cleanse and detoxify the body.
