According to the established opinion, almost everyone has some kind of “metabolic switch” with which you can speed up the process of burning fat. How to activate this switch?
Increased physical activity
With physical activity, the level of glucose in the blood decreases, and accordingly, the body’s sensitivity to insulin increases, which accelerates the process of fat oxidation. The most effective is regular activity. At the same time, it is not necessary to load the body with complex exercises every day. It is enough to walk every day and even this will be enough to speed up the metabolism.
Three meals a day
Most people are already addicted to snacking, namely, they add unnecessary calories to a person. Nutritionist Vasily Voinov believes that it is enough for a healthy person to eat 3 times a day and not snack between these meals.
The expert believes that frequent meals are dangerous to health, as insulin resistance may develop. That is, the more often a person eats, the more insulin is secreted in the body.
Restriction of carbohydrate intake
In this case, we are talking about simple carbohydrates. In simpler words – about confectionery. More protein, fatty acids and fiber should be introduced into the daily diet.
Refusal to eat
You should not be afraid to refuse food for a while. Vasily Voinov believes that the human body is able to stay for a long time solely on its own reserves of fat. Naturally, we are not talking about long-term fasting, but about short periods of refusing to eat, which do not exceed a few hours. It is well known that fasting helps to get rid of excess weight and optimize metabolism.
