 Weight loss: 10 foods that boost metabolism

Accelerate the basic metabolism promotes weight loss. How do we do it and what foods do we eat? We tell you everything.


What is metabolism?

Metabolism is the set of processes the body performs to convert what we eat and drink into energy. The body depends on calories and oxygen to provide the energy needed for the proper functioning of muscles, brain, cells and organs. Added to this basic metabolism is the energy expenditure related to physical activity. The metabolism is fairly rapid depending on the frequency of exercise, the age or even the size of the individual.


A metabolic diet is a nutritional rebalancing that aims to stimulate the metabolism. These new habits make it possible to speed up the disposal of stored fat in the body and thus lose weight. To do this, you have to follow a healthy lifestyle: sleep between 7 and 8 hours, practice deep breathing, exercise daily, stay well hydrated ...


In terms of food, we focus on proteins, as they help build muscle. We also choose a diet rich in good fats and fibres. Discover foods that boost metabolism and make them true allies for slimming while having fun.


Almonds and walnuts, allies to boost your metabolism

These oilseeds are rich in good fats, which are very beneficial in boosting your metabolism. Almonds, walnuts, etc. also contain fibre, calcium and magnesium, which are valuable elements for losing weight. We make sure to choose them as natural as possible. Without salt, unroasted, even less covered with praline, sugar and chocolate. In addition, we avoid eating whole dishes. A handful is enough between meals or for dessert.


Chicken breast

Chicken breasts are rich in protein and vitamins B2 and are almost fat-free. It particularly tightens the stomach because it requires chewing thanks to its texture. This white meat is perfect for speeding up your metabolism.


Tuna

Proteins, omega-3s...tuna has it all. Rich in iron, its flesh is satiating, and it contains vitamins B6 and B12 that aid digestion and control stress. We prefer it natural, canned, fresh or raw.


coffee

It's not an acceptable idea, coffee is really a fat burner. It increases metabolism by 5 to 8%, which corresponds to an additional loss of 100 calories. We prefer it without sugar, milk or caramel, and we avoid drinking it after 4 pm. danger? Not being able to sleep the next night, which promotes weight gain...


Cinnamon

It's star food! Cinnamon contains cinnamic aldehyde that stimulates metabolism, but it also contains flavonoids, which enhance cells' use of sugars. It is also rich in fibre. In short, it is the perfect ally for diabetics or those who want to lose weight.


cabbage

Broccoli, kale, Chinese cabbage... Cabbage contains vitamin C, which has an "appetite suppressant" power, which generates energy and makes you want to exercise. This vitamin also aids in protein synthesis and the production of norepinephrine, a hormone responsible for extracting fat from boils.


lemon

Lemon is your friend for weight loss. Its juice contributes to the balance of blood sugar and thus regulates appetite. It also facilitates the acid-base balance, which is crucial for metabolism, allowing you to burn more. Tip: Add a little lemon juice to your pitcher of water for a drink that can be described as "metabolic."


White cheese

Rich in calcium, protein and low in fat. Cottage cheese helps to get rid of fats and stimulates the basic metabolism process. the most? It suppresses hunger more than yogurt, making it a perfect ally for a snack between meals or for dessert when you're not quite full.


Chili pepper

The most spicy dishes will be pleased to hear the news. The more a pepper burns in the mouth, the more capsaicin it contains, the pungent active ingredient, and the more sugars and fats it burns. For good reason: consuming it results in peak body heat, which requires the body to produce energy. So cayenne pepper is a good metabolism booster, but doesn't hurt your stomach.


the egg

Two eggs once a week in the morning are ideal for breakfast that reduces appetite and helps build muscle. Eggs are protein and burn more fat. It can be cooked boiled or fried.
