What I Did This Weekend For a Fast Metabolism

“How do I speed up my metabolism (is there actually a way to do that?)”

Are you tired of feeling like you have a slow metabolism and struggling to lose weight no matter what you do? You're not alone!

Oh to be 10 again and be able to eat a ton and never gain a pound!

Isn’t this what we ALL want? to be able to eat more and weigh LESS?

Firstly, let's clear up a common misconception - your metabolism isn't set in stone. And you aren’t destined to a slow metabolism for life. While genetics can play a role, you can take steps to speed up your metabolism and improve your body's ability to burn calories. Here are some habits to start incorporating into your life:

A slow metabolism has a direct impact on digestion and your gut health. A slow metabolism can lead to a cascade of problems - food takes longer to travel through your digestive system which can lead to constipation, which can lead to recirculating hormones which can lead to hormonal imbalances.

By taking a holistic approach you CAN have eat more and weigh less (and avoid gut + hormone imbalances.)

So heres what I did this weekend….

1. Ate about 2000 calories a day -

   with no plans to cleanse or restrict my calories during the week! Eating less and exercising more is a good recipe for a slow metabolism.

2. Slept 7-8 hours a night -

   without waking, even to pee…psst peeing in the night can be a sign of a slow metabolism) sleep is one of the best times to burn fat ;)

3. I took a rest day from the gym -

   I quit my gym obsession. No more excessive cardio or “never miss a morning.” Working HARDER is not always better.

4. I ate nutrient dense foods.

   Nutrient density > counting calories. This meant milk, chicken thighs, honey, coconut oil NOT zero calorie syrups, nut milks, stevia or volume meals.

5. I went out for dinner with friends.

   Nourishment is more than what you eat - it’s also spending time with people you love. Having to say no to activities because you are avoiding carbs takes a toll on your mental health and is very isolating. A GNO was just what I needed!

Remember, small changes over time can make a big difference. Pick one or two habits to focus on at a time and gradually build on them. By nourishing your body in the right way, you can improve your metabolism, eat more delicious food, and live a more vibrant life.

What healthy habits are you excited to start implementing?
