Talk with my Favorite Nutritionist: Magie Tamraz

My Dearest Beauties,

I visited Magie several days ago and prepared a commonly asked question. I hope you find these interesting and helpful when thinking of healthy ways to stay fit.

I usually hear of foods and supplements that boost the metabolism. The most common I have heard of are coffee, lemon and vinegar. Magie said that it is very true that some foods and supplements have the power to boost your metabolism and even burn fat. She said there are many out there in the market but lemon and vinegar do not fit the mold. She recommended some to me (these are not listed in order of which one is the most effective):

1. Caffeine and especially Green Coffee supplement: caffeine boosts your metabolism and green coffee goes as far as burning some of your undesired fats. 
2. Raspberry: not only delicious but also good for burning fats. 
3. Garcinia Cambogia: is a subtropical fruit originated from Indonesia. It is delicious and is very good for boosting your metabolism and burning undesired fats. This fruit is also found in supplement form (pills that you can take before meals).
4. Acai Berry: a berry that boosts your metabolism! How great is that, it is also available in supplement form.
5. Vitamin B12: this vitamin will give you lots of energy to the point that it will make you burn way more calories than you usually do. 
6. African Mango: metabolism booster but not as much as the ones mentioned above.
7. Eating proteins is another very easy way of boosting your metabolism because your body needs four hours to digest it. Thus, eating protein makes your body work harder and for longer which consumes energy in and by itself.
8. Maintaining a balanced muscle mass is also a good way to maintain your metabolism at its peak. Your body needs energy to move and maintain muscles and for that reason your metabolism will be working harder.

If you are interested in these be sure to consult with your dietitian. If you cannot find these available at your local pharmacy, you can easily find them through Magie.
