5 Foods That Speed Up Metabolism

February 26, 2015 in Fitness, Food

Speeding up your metabolism is one of the best ways to help you lose weight. You may think that counting calories is the only way to help you shed some extra pounds but this is not the case. If you can eat foods that speed up your metabolism, this will help you curb your appetite and assist with weight loss.

jalepeno

1.  Hot peppers– Most types of hot peppers such as habaneros and jalapenos not only help to increase your circulation but also boosts metabolism. Eating hot peppers also helps to curb your appetite and reduce cravings as well. This is due to the fact that hot peppers contain capsaicin which is a compound that stimulates the pain receptors in the body and that in turn increases your metabolic rate.

almonds

2.  Almonds– Almonds have a great deal of fat content so you don’t want to go overboard with them but they can help to give your metabolism a boost. Almonds contain essential fatty acids that help to increase metabolism. You can eat almonds whole as a snack or you can use them as a topper for a main dish or salad.

asparagus

3.  Asparagus– While asparagus may be low in calories; the nutrient content is high with asparagus. Because of the fact that they have a unique taste that is delicious, it will help to increase your metabolism.

celery

4.  Celery– Celery is probably one of those foods that you probably chew on instead of burgers and ice cream right? Well, that really isn’t such a bad thing since celery is great for boosting your metabolism. Celery is known to be a thermogenic food, which also contains a great amount of calcium.

coconutoil

5.  Coconut oil– While we have always known that coconut oil has high fat content; it is just as important that we know the difference between good fat and bad fat. Coconut oil has also been shown to have many health benefits, including boosting your metabolism.

    I love all of these foods and have been attempting to include them in my diet on a weekly, if not daily basis. I love dipping celery in hummus.

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.

#ad Not gonna lie, it was a little windy today (60 #ad Not gonna lie, it was a little windy today (60 mph) but I had to show off my locks.  I have been using @thebeachwaver good vibes moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for well over a month now and I can totally tell a difference.  I freakin LOVE these products because...

 This is made of all the good stuff.  Coconut oil, Tahitian monoi flower and..wait for it...Shea butter.  So the smell is amazing and my hair is so soft after treating my hair to this vegan goodness. If you fall in love with it like I did, beachwaver had a subscription service and you can have your hair are delivered right to your door.  You can also use my code MAMASITAWAVE at checkout for an additional 10% off.  I’ll do another hair shot next month so you can see the difference.  #beachwaveshair #beachwaverbabe #goodvibes #hairproductsonline #subscribenow #subscribeservice #beachwaverbabes #hairtools #mondayyy97 #hairproductreview #momlifebestlife #hairlove #shampooandconditioner #veganshampoo #independentwomenknow #veganconditioner #goodvibestribe #ad
