Nutrition Hint--Three Shocking Metabolism Boosters SESAME SEEDS - lignans - has been shown to reduce fat storage in your body. Plus, sesame seeds have been shown to boost metabolism due to their levels of proteins and essential fats. In a recent study, the researchers found that women who consumed more lignans in their diet had lower BMI measurements and lower body fat mass. Lignans are also associated with better use of blood sugar, and improved insulin sensitivity. A couple other surprising foods that increase metabolism are YELLOW PEPPERS and EGGS (I see an omelette in your future). Yellow peppers are full of fiber which is an abundant source of vitamin C which is extremely important when it comes to fat loss. You see, vitamin C leads to the production of carnitine, which may help your muscles use more fat for energy. Result: faster metabolism. The reason why eggs are so important for boosting your metabolism lies in the high-quality protein that they contain. Eggs contain all NINE essential amino acids, therefore enabling your body to build and maintain lean muscle mass stores. And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body can burn and use for energy. This boosts your metabolism, therefore preventing excess calories from being stored as fat.
