Foods to speed up your metabolism and weight loss tips? -

i really want to loose 11 pounds. i have already lost 10 pounds but i cant seem to loose the rest. For my diet i have been eating really healthy, drink heaps of water and green tea and running for 30 min every day (over time increasing the speed) and doing yogalaties. Its been going good so far but in the last 8 weeks (i ve been doing the diet for 6 months so far) i haven t lost anymore weight and i still have a really fat stomach and massive upper thighs. I really feel bad about myself because i still feel really fat and have a bad BMI. i want to have a BMI range in the middle of healthy, but I m still not there. Does anyone know any foods that will help me loose weight, speed up my metabolism, some really low calorie food (e.g. carrots not 0 calorie soup) and some other exercise tips? Your help would be really appriceated. :-)

Green vegetables, especially leafy greens such as spinach, collard greens, etc. , contain a lot of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is necessary for your liver to make enzymes to cleanse itself. If your liver is not clean enough it is hard to lose weight. I always feel better eating a plate of vegetables in the evening and start losing weight faster.I hope you are sleeping enough, if not you may have higher cortisol levels which cause belly fat.

i heard celery has negative calories and oatmeal, grapefruit, green tea, and fish are really great diet foods! i think you should continue what you are doing now congrats and good luck!

Eat breakfast, lunch, you ll burn those off, a small dinner and not before bed.

Keep Metabolism Steady. Eating one small meal (such as a potato, a salad, etc.) every three hours that you are awake will not speed up your metabolism, rather, it will keep it going. Your metabolism goes and slows with your food intake and eating something small every three hours will keep that metabolism burning calories and will help you lose weight. A jar of nuts in the office will do just fine, grab a handful when you feel like it. Most fruits can last for a couple days without refrigeration, and if you have a refrigerator at the office, make use of it.Lift Weights. The more muscle your body has, the more calories your body burns, even at rest. Many people are afraid of getting huge due to weight lifting but the fact is you won t!, Many huge body-builders out there have been body-building for years to get huge. If you just do cardiovascular exercises without lifting weights then you will lose the muscle mass, you will also feel weak and it will take longer to lose that fat. So, to get rid of that fat quickly lift weights combined with cardiovascular exercises. Running, biking, swimming, stair climbing, jumping rope, tennis, volleyball, dancing, squash or any other activity that gets you moving and keeps you moving is a great way to burn fat. However, a cardiovascular workout should be performed for at least 20 to 30 minutes to burn fat. Prior to this your body will simply run on its stored energy, which results in minimal fat loss. Cardiovascular training should always be done after your weight lifting workout. While lifting weights, you use stored, (carbohydrate) energy, thus, by performing cardiovascular exercises after weight training your body will have less stored energy to use and go straight into the fat storage for its energy use. The overall best way to shed fat fast is to do cardiovascular exercises right when you wake up. Your body will search for energy to use, and when it finds nothing in your stomach, it will go directly to your fat reserves for energy.I also had the same problem but a friend of mine advices me to go in a fitness touring, since I love vacations I tried it and you will feel the difference after the tour. http://www.fitnesstouring.com/ gives the best program and healthy trip.
