There are specific steps a person should take to have a metabolic makeover. It is easier to follow a checklist when attempting to follow a plan. With a checklist, there is less of a chance that a person will miss an important aspect of a plan. Small steps can result in big results if followed in a organized and dedicated manner.

You must drink at least 8 ounces of water every day. Each hour the human body uses about one-half of a cup of water. The 8 ounces are required to just keep the minimal amount in your system. Some people get a headache when they are not drinking enough water. It can slow down your mental alertness too. If you are feeling drowsy and mentally slow, try drinking a cool glass of water.

Lean protein is something everybody needs to eat daily. For each kilogram of body weight, one gram of protein should be consumed. You can get 7 grams of protein by eating one average size egg. Blood sugar and carbohydrates are regulated by the protein you eat. If you eat too many carbohydrates, you can feel drowsy. Consuming proteins will keep you mentally alert.

Mono-unsaturated oils and fats are good for you. Cook with healthy oils like flax seed, olive or canola oil. Try to get 1 teaspoon of Omega 3 oil everyday. Fresh cold water fish is a good source of Omega 3 oils. Eating cod, mackerel and salmon are good sources of this type of oil. They are heart healthy foods. The only way to get Omega 3 oils is through the food you eat because your body does not make them naturally.

Be selective with the types of carbohydrates you consume. With the right kind of carbohydrates, sugar enters your bloodstream slowly. With foods that are digested slowly, you will avoid the sugar rush and will stabilize blood sugars. Fruits like apples, pears, plums, and peaches are good examples of foods that balance your blood sugars. Apple juice is not because it is digested quickly and the sugar enters your bloodstream quickly.

An interesting trick to ensure that you get lots of nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements is to eat foods with lots of different colors. The many colors are there because of all the natural nutrients. You do not need food supplements if you eat fresh vegetables that are a purple, blue, orange, and red. When you go food shopping look for different colors.

Take your time when you eat. It is best to eat slowly. Avoid eating on the run. It is better to savor your food with long meals with family and friends. A long leisurely meal is relaxing and reduces stress. Our hectic lifestyles are a constant source of unhappiness in society. It is healthy to eat slowly. Try to do half the things in twice the time.

These simple measure, if followed regularly, will give you a metabolic makeover. You will loss weight, have more energy, sleep better, and increase your mental abilities. If you have had problems with binge eating and cravings for sweets, you will be happy to learn that they will be a thing of the past. With a rebooted metabolism, your health can be restored.
