Slowin Down the Metabolism Train

Today I’m just gonna hit on some metabolism saboteurs.

The main ones that we all ingest most days are the refined carbs, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, and sugar! They make you sluggish and don’t do what good carbs do for you. These items are the reason low carb diets and no carb diets came about, (low carb maybe as a diet, no carb = no way, your brain runs on carbs).

Another one we encounter is saturated fats. These are found in thinks like fatty red meats, whole dairy products and things like butter.
(Eat more omega 3’s and monounsaturated fats, if you want examples let me know).

This one is really mostly common sense, so I’m not going to spend much time on it, but here are a few key things.

1. Don’t eat a lot of refined carbs
2. Don’t eat items loaded with saturated fats
3. DO eat complex carbs and healthy fats
4. Use common sense
5. You know what’s healthy, you just need to listen
