How I Boosted My Metabolism: From 1,700 to 2,200 Calories/Day
If I could have a superpower, I’d choose a “supermetabolism.”To eat whatever I want without any adverse health and aesthetic effects.Though I had appearance-based goals when I started my fitness journey, what primarily motivated me to embrace a fitter lifestyle was an intense desire to eat more. You see, I’ve always loved eating. So when I learned that embracing certain habits allowed you to eat more, I was sold. Now, of course there’s a limit to how much you can eat — especially after you achieve a lean physique. But being able to eat, even if just a little bit more, is always better than nothing (at least for me). In my case, I went from consuming an average of 1,700 calories to 2,200 calories per day — a 29% increase — while also becoming leaner. And though 2,200 calories may not impress some, it’s considered the higher range for someone of my age, gender, height, and weight.All I had to do was adopt 12 science-based practices that can help anyone boost their metabolism.That said, please remember that underlying health conditions, such as hypothyroidism or diabetes, can affect the effectiveness of these habits. So always consult with a health professional before attempting any major life changes.
