Complex Carboydrates and fibre keep your insulin levels low after you eat as they don't cause a spike in your blood sugar. As the body produces insulin it also starts to store fat which in order to store fat it has to slow down metabolism. Not good news. Oats are great for your metabolism as they break down in the stomach and don't cause a a heavy insulin spike like a sugared coated cereal or bagel.
Chilis, Cayenne and Jalapenos
Capsaican is the chemical in peppers thats give it the bite and this speeds up your heart rate.
Studies have shown from way back in the 80's that eating just 1 Chili can boost your metabolism by 25% and it will keep going for 3 hours!!
Stick one in all off your meals and keep on burning!!
Coffee and Green Teas
Caffine speeds up your heart rate. The faster it beats the more calories you burn. Green Tea has a chemical called EGCG which rather than speeding up your heart it it revs up your brain and nervous system which again helps you burn those calories.
Take a shot of Coffee without milk or a Green Tea 20 Min's before your workout and reap the benefit, just don't get a Mocha Latte from Starbucks!!!
Lean Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey etc..;.
Protein is massively important.
It takes a lot of energy to digest protein than it does carbohydrates or fat which makes it simple. The more you eat the more calories you will burn.
