How to Rev Up Your Metabolism*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Don't skip breakfast. You will lose weight more quickly if you have a bite to eat in the morning. ----Do at least thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise, five days a week. This will condition you to burn fat more efficiently. -------Don't deprive your body of carbohydrates, no matter what they say. You need carbs for energy and will feel terrible without them. -------Wear a pedometer and see that you take 1,000 steps every day. ------If you have a sit-down job, get up every hour and walk around for five minutes or so. ------Dedicate two hours a week to weight training, concentrating on the larger muscles. Every other day is optimal. --------
