How Do I Boost My Metabolism?

How Do I Boost My Metabolism?

Does anyone have any ideas about how to boost metabolism?  I eat VERY little, yet I still gain weight.

you should eat small amounts several x per day. i am a 48 yo female weighing in at 109. i eat probably 5-6 x per day. this keeps your metabolism constantly in action. when you eat as you do, your metabolism slows to compensate for the little amount of food you are getting. also, try keeping your carbs (white foods such as bread, rice, pasta) limited to the 1st half of the day and just eat say a piece of grilled/baked chicken/fish with some veggies at night. don't eat after 8pm.

also, working out twice a week combined with some weight/resistance training helps to burn the fat (muscle burns more calories than fat even at rest). i can tell you that cardio alone will not get you the results you want. you may lose at first, but you will reach a plateau so it is necessary to work those weights in! and drinking alcohol packs the pounds on like mad, so quit or don't drink at all. good luck
