How To Boost Metabolism with Supplements or Exercise

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

You can’t boost your metabolism with supplements. Or at
least not enough to cause weight loss. This is hope in a
bottle, but this hope doesn’t stand a chance. It doesn’t
work.

One misconception is that caffeine boosts your metabolism,
but I’ve also heard that fish oil, protein, CLA, and green
tea will do it, too. As with the fat burning zone, this myth
comes from a distortion of science.

Green tea, for example, was shown to increase the daily
energy expenditure of young men by eighty calories per day.
Now, that’s great news for the people who make supplements
because they can put that claim on their label, but what
that doesn’t take into account is that people’s bodies adapt
to a stimulus.

If there is any benefit to taking a particular supplement,
by the end of the week, your body has adjusted to the
chemical and no longer reacts to it. And that’s why, as a
recent study showed, that taking Green Tea supplements for
12 weeks did not cause any fat loss. Most supplements seem
to be nothing more than glorified caffeine pills.

Let’s think of this another way. Say for example that green
tea extract actually did help you burn an additional eighty
calories per day. It is agreed upon by most trainers that
one pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Even if the
supplement worked as intended, then it would take nearly a
month and half to lose one pound!

Unfortunately, you’ll find big promises from supplements in
every magazine, and it is very difficult to avoid the allure
of the quick fixes that supplements present. Supplements
make you think, “Why work out when you can take a pill?”

And as long as there are people who aren’t willing to work
for their

results, there will always be a product claiming to work
miracles.

Unlike these “miracle” supplements, research repeatedly
shows that both strength training and interval training can
help boost your metabolism and burn fat.

In one study, women did a strength training session with
eight repetitions per exercise and had a significant
increase in their post-exercise metabolism. This is just
another example of how short burst training will burn more
calories and more fat. These are proven results that no diet
pill can compete with.

Boost your
metabolism with hard work, not the easy way out,
