8 Common Mistakes That Can Actually Tank Your Metabolism
00:03
When I was in high school, I tried to lose weight but had no idea how.
00:09
I lived on salads and low-fat yogurt, pushed myself too hard at the gym, and went to bed hungry every night.
00:15
Despite all the effort, I looked flabbier and felt exhausted and frustrated.
00:20
I'd lie awake wondering why nothing was working.
00:23
Eventually, I learned that my extreme dieting and overexercising were slowing my metabolism and harming my body.
00:30
Here's everything I was doing wrong that actually made me gain weight in the process.
00:34
When you overdo it on the treadmill, you risk muscle loss.
00:38
This leads to a lack of a toned physique and alternatively contributes to flab.
00:42
But don't get it twisted.
00:44
Cardio is great for your health, but it's just best not to spend hours upon hours doing HIIT exercises.
00:49
Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity cardio.
00:54
Many women avoid kettlebells and dumbbells, fearing they'll bulk up like John Cena.
00:58
But it doesn't work that way.
01:01
When I committed to strength training for 60 days, I became the fittest and most toned I'd ever been.
01:07
Building muscle boosts metabolism by replacing fat with lean mass.
01:11
And I always recommend strength training for women who want to tone up.
01:15
In the words of Beyonce,
01:16
America has a problem and much of it comes down to our eating habits.
01:21
The U.S. is packed with processed foods, which negatively affect weight and overall health.
01:27
When you're trying to lose weight, overeating these foods will slow you down.
01:31
Choosing a more natural, nutrient-dense diet makes a far bigger difference on any weight loss journey.
01:35
You've got to get those Z's in, y'all.
01:38
Seven to eight hours a night.
01:40
It's a non-negotiable if you want to lead a healthier lifestyle.
01:44
Believe it or not, slashing your daily calories too aggressively is one of the worst diet mistakes.
01:49
Extreme restriction slows your metabolism,
01:52
causing your body to rebel and making weight loss harder.
01:56
You should eat fewer calories on a diet, but not so few that it backfires.
02:00
Tools like MyFitnessPal can help you determine a safe, effective calorie deficit.
02:05
I was at my heaviest weight while pursuing a vegetarian lifestyle.
02:09
While I'll always be an animal activist and only eat humanely produced meat products,
02:14
I know firsthand how a lack of proper protein can mess with your metabolism.
02:18
But vegans and vegetarians shouldn't feel discouraged.
02:21
There are countless ways to get your proper protein intake without eating meat,
02:25
by concentrating on beans, chickpeas, and tofu scrambles.
02:28
This one should be a given.
02:30
Avoid added sugars at all costs, especially overly sugary drinks.
02:35
Instead, feed your sweet tooth through organic fruit smoothies without any artificial additives.
02:41
We drive everywhere nowadays, be it to work, restaurants, or the post office.
02:45
Is it convenient?
02:47
Of course.
02:48
But it comes at a serious price when we give up on walking entirely.
02:52
Try to sneak in at least half an hour a day to get your steps in.
02:54
With these tips and tricks, you'll be able to speed up your metabolism in no time.
