| to change subscriber options click here Today we'll look at 3 things you could be doing DAILY, that are only hurting your metabolism and multiplying the rate your body is being forced to store fat... ...on top of that, these "Metabolic Killers" can actually damage you on a cellular level, causing havoc as your body struggles to release stored body fat for energy. So stick with me and read this entire article because you'll learn how to avoid this problem, and more importantly, a unique trick on how you can quickly begin fixing your broken metabolism. 3 UNSAFE Habits KILLING Your Metabolism 1. Caffeine combined with lots of sugar. Soda, sugar-laden caffeinated tea, and most flavored coffee - all of these drinks have the deadly combination of caffeine and lots of sugar. Here's the problem... ...caffeine can cause a short-term insulin-insensitivity right when you need insulin to work the most - when there's extra sugar in your system. If your cells are insensitive to insulin, your body will need to pump out more and more, which can equate to greater fat storage. Even worse, studies show that most people compensate by eating more after they've consumed these kinds of "liquid carbs" when compared to solid carbs (real, whole food). When you eat real food, your body gets full faster because your system recognizes all the beneficial nutrients. But when you drink these "liquid carbs," your body signals to continue because it's starved of nutrients (despite all the "empty calories" you just consumed). Talk about a FAT STACKING Double Whammy! Not only are you consuming an excess of calories, you're also causing insulin-insensitivity, leading to even greater fat storage. 2. Artificial sweeteners. So, if caffeine with sugar are a deadly combo, then using an artificial sweetener is the solution, right? Not so fast! Artificial sweeteners (Sweet n' Low, Equal, Splenda, etc.), are tough on your thyroid, the organ that regulates your metabolism. More and more research is leading some to conclude that this could be a key reason why an increasing number of women are being diagnosed with hypothyroidism ("low metabolism"). But the problem doesn't stop there... ...artificial sweeteners can cause an inflammatory response, leading to cortisol release. Cortisol is a hormone that signals the body to retain fat, even in a low-calorie state. So, in addition to sabotaging your thyroid, you're releasing cortisol - making it even more difficult to lose fat. Try sweetening your drinks with Stevia (it's natural, not artificial). Also, carbonated water with lemon, lime, mint, or even cucumber is really great too! 3. Long periods of inactivity. This may seem obvious but it's NOT what you think. Throughout the day, your hormones are carrying out their daily roles of either increasing or decreasing energy production, stimulating or decreasing appetite, and promoting either fat breakdown or fat storage - depending how active you are. If you're like most, you sit at a desk for 3, 4, even 5 hours at a time. This is very problematic if you're wanting to lose fat. Are You Listening To Your Hormones? By ignoring your hormones' cry for physical activity throughout the day, you're basically telling your body one thing: store fat. Here's something that is both exciting and scary, but if you learn to listen to your hormones you will know whether your body is storing fat or using it for energy. You will also know if you're metabolism is broken... ...more about that in a moment... "Is My Metabolism Broken?" So how can you keep your hormones functioning AND get your work done? It's simple: take regular, quick breaks every 60 minutes or so and move! You may need to take breaks more often; your body will let you know. Here are some of the ways your body lets you know it's time for a break... - You feel compelled to stretch or move - You're yawning or sighing - You're slumping at your desk - You're unable to concentrate - You feel tense or anxious - You make simple errors - You can't focus or pay attention Whether you are experiencing any or all of the above it's possible that your metabolism is broken (don't worry, there's an easy fix and I'll get to that below). Here are a few things that will help reduce the damage: When you notice the signs above - or at least every 60 minutes or so, get up and move for just 2 to 3 minutes. Here are some quick, simple activities you can do to stimulate your hormones role in fat-burning: - Walk or jog up and down stairs - Do jumping jacks - Alternate a few sets of push-ups and crunches - Do yoga - Walk or jog the parking lot Staying active throughout the day like this (especially if you're at a desk job all day) can help you continually metabolize fat - just as you're designed to!
