Need an extra jump start with your weightloss?

Here are some foods that will help kick-start your metabolism:

Avocado

Avocados are packed with protein, heart-healthy fatty acids, and all 9 essential amino acids. They can add variety to meals and recipes to liven up your eating.

Cheese, Milk, & Greek Yogurt

In moderation, these healthy fats can be great for your metabolism. The key ingredient is calcium so for those that are lactose intolerant, try seeking out other calcium and Vitamin D rich options.

Asparagus & Spinach

Green vegetables such as asparagus and spinach are loaded with many valuable nutrients and high in protein.

Whey Protein

Some of us enjoy using a meal replacement shake or make a shake as a pre/post workout supplement. To really jump start your metabolism, in addition to your favorite fruit and vegetables, try adding in a whey protein to your shake mix. Want something that adds protein as well as 70+ superfoods, try Shakeology. It’s not just a protein shake, it’s a meal replacement shake with loads of nutrition.

Tofu

Many think that without meat, it is impossible to boost you metabolism with protein. Tofu is a great alternative to your traditional protein-packed foods, as it contains about 12 grams of protein per 3 ounces. It is also known to be used in a variety of flavors and recipes.

Fish

Seafood and shellfish such as salmon can be an excellent metabolism kick starter. Similar to avocados, seafood contains healthy fatty acids.

Eggs

Eggs are protein heavy and can be a quick and easy addition to your daily diet. You can also go even healthier by choosing to eat egg whites instead of the whole egg.

Lean Beef, Poultry and Pork

While not all of us may be huge fans of consuming tons of meat, finding ways to add these protein-filled foods can make a big difference in your metabolism levels. It is important to seek out the leanest possible option of these meats and a small amount can go a long way.

Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are a powerful food that can be added to salads or yogurts to enhance your metabolism. These awesome seeds contain 8 of the 9 essential amino acids that build muscle also.
