Diet Information - How to Keep Your Metabolism Running Strong While Dieting
By Dr. Becky Gillaspy

This article shares diet information that allows you to keep your metabolism running strong while you diet. A common problem that dieters face is that their plan works well for a couple of weeks but then their progress slows and even stops as the weeks go on. To prevent this slow down follow these tips.

Diet information

1. Eat protein at meal time. Protein is an important nutrient for dieters because it helps regulate your appetite and it is also hard for your body to digest which means that it requires a lot of energy to break down giving you a boost to your metabolic rate.

2. Learn how to regularly add a higher calorie day. This sounds crazy but you will actually speed your weight loss when you learn how to overeat one day during your diet week. Your weight will come off slower and slower the longer you stay on a restricted calorie plan. This is because your metabolism adapts to your lower calories by slowing down. To prevent this adaptation add 25-50% more calories one day a week and your metabolism will spring back up and stay strong.

3. Water or decaffeinated tea. Stay hydrated by getting 8 glasses of water or decaffeinated tea a day. When your body is dehydrated your metabolism runs slower.

4. Eat with your body's energy needs. Your body needs energy rich foods in the early part of the day so feed it carbohydrates at this time. However, your body's energy needs slow down as evening rolls around so this is a good time to avoid quick energy foods such as carbohydrates because they will not be used and instead will turn to fat.
