We\u2019ve looked at 16 ways to rev up your metabolism — the rate your body burns fat.\u00a0 I like to call them the \u201csweet sixteen.\u201d\u00a0 Here they are, in abbreviated form:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0 Eat small meals throughout the day.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0 Drink lots of water, especially ice water.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0 Eat protein, especially after workouts<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0 Step up the exercise.<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0 Avoid stress.<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0 Get out in the sunshine.<\/li>\n
  7. \u00a0 Get plenty of sleep.<\/li>\n
  8. \u00a0 Ditch the alcoholic beverages, colas, and sweet drinks.<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0 Keep it cool — the temperature, that is.<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0 Get Omega 3 fats in your diet<\/li>\n
  11. \u00a0 Use interval training.<\/li>\n
  12. \u00a0 \u00a0Eat breakfast<\/li>\n
  13. \u00a0 \u00a0Add hot spices to your food.<\/li>\n
  14. \u00a0 \u00a0Drink green tea.<\/li>\n
  15. \u00a0 \u00a0Make sure you are getting enough B vitamins<\/li>\n
  16. \u00a0 \u00a0Get plenty of vitamin C<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Can you do all sixteen and still not lose weight? Sorry — but the answer is \u201cyes.\u201d\u00a0 If you are still chowing down on too many calories and not moving enough,\u00a0 taking vitamin C and turning down the thermostat won\u2019t\u00a0 turn you into a fat-burning machine. If you are eating a moderate amount of low glycemic foods and stepping up the exercise, though, doing these sixteen things, or some of them, could give you the edge you need to see that fat disappear more quickly — and stay gone for good!<\/p>\n

    Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
