Ever met someone who eats nachos, candy, hamburgers, and drinks soda all in one day and weighs no more than 120 pounds? Unfortunately, a huge percentage of us do not work that way. Why? One word…metabolism.
Slow metabolism can be caused from genes, but it’s also because of the choices you make. When you confuse your system with yo-yo diets, eat processed food, and surround yourself with toxins then yes you’re not going to lose weight.
According to the much loved Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels, there are a few ways you can turn your metabolism around:
* Get off that couch! Quit being lazy, don’t blame your weight on your slow metabolism.
* Stop the crazy diets. Your weight has been dramatically fluctuating over the years and it’s time for that to end. Stay on a regime that’s easy to stick to.
