Rev Up Your Metabolism

1. Maximize your muscle. Muscles are fat-burning furnaces, so be sure to do enough resistance training to build and maintain them and follow your workouts with a snack or meal balanced in protein, carbohydrates and fat. Each pound of muscle can raise your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) up to 15 calories per day

2. Don't starve yourself. Eat 6 small meals a day to avoid blood-sugar spikes and minimize urges to binge. Try to schedule meals at the same time each day. If you feed yourself well throughout the day, you'll learn to understand when your body is going to need food. You can't starve yourself and expect to choose well at the next meal.
