[Video version] The key to weight loss: ignite your metabolism and avoid these 5 landmine foods

Why do some people find it so difficult to lose weight? Why can’t I control my weight even though I carefully calculate how many calories I eat every day? In fact, weight loss is not that complicated, but it cannot be solved by just talking about calories, fat or carbohydrates. The key to losing weight is to "ignite your metabolism" and ignite your metabolism like burning a campfire.

What is metabolism? In fact, metabolism is a process. Metabolism includes chemical reactions that occur within cells and is a process that all living things rely on to survive. Through metabolism, food becomes or is converted into energy, fuel, or body materials (muscle, fat, blood, bone). However, numerous studies have shown that once the metabolic rate slows down, it is not easy to return to normal even if you return to a normal diet from a diet.

Metabolism can be controlled

Haley, a well-known American nutritionist. Haylie Pomroy said in her new book "Metabolism Diet to Lose Weight Without Counting Calories" that metabolism can also be said to be a mechanism for processing food to obtain energy. The key lies in what you eat and how you eat. Simply put, metabolism can be manipulated, including the type and nutrient density of food, as well as when and how you eat.

The following 5 types of food will hinder metabolic burning and affect weight loss results. They are landmine foods and should be avoided as much as possible.

Landmine Food 1: Corn

Corn is one of the biggest enemies of metabolism, especially genetically modified corn, which has become a large storage depot of sugar, promoting the formation of white fat and is detrimental to metabolism.

Landmine Food 2: Cheese

Cheese, like all dairy products, contains a ratio of sugar, fat and protein that is not conducive to the metabolic repair process. In addition, another problem with dairy products is that they contain stimulating hormones, which can cause your metabolism to stagnate. It is recommended that you replace them with unsweetened rice milk or unsweetened coconut milk.

Landmine Food 3: Soybeans

Soybeans contain phytoestrogens, which are similar to the estrogen produced by the body and can easily increase abdominal fat. Additionally, most soybeans are genetically modified to make them more difficult for the body to break down.

Landmine Food 4: Refined Sugar

When you eat refined sugar, it’s basically like injecting fat cells directly into your body. Just 2 teaspoons of refined sugar can suppress your weight loss for 3 to 4 days.

Landmine Food #5: Caffeine

You should eat food before drinking coffee. If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, your body will start to draw sugar from your muscles to maintain the adrenaline secreted under the stimulation of caffeine. In particular, drinking coffee before breakfast is a metabolism killer.
