I read an article today about the five things to do to boost your metabolism. My metabolism, being menopausal, not only needs boosting it needs booster cables and a jump start.
- The first thing is not to skip breakfast. Check. Got that covered. Love my breakfast. Hm, so far so good.
- Eat more protein. Check. Hey, I'm good at this stuff!
- Say "adios" to refined grains. Um, okay, no white bread, right? That's okay, I like multi grain type breads and whole wheat pasta. I think this may mean adios to cookies!
- Watch for and stick to low glycemic index foods. What? So I had to look that up. This means eat fruits, veggies, and other good stuff (avoid white breads, pastas, rice).
- Think green! Okay, I have my recycling under control, what has this got to do with metabolism! Ya, I know - greens, as in salad crap, er, delicious salads, etc.
This is a lot of work. I think it may be easier just to use the jumper cables! Oh, I learned something today - a large milkshake from McDonald's has half of your daily calorie intake (approx 1130 cal) and 28 gms of FAT (17 of those are saturated). This is as much as having two quarter pounders! UGH! Yet, I can really get my teeth into a quarter pounder... as obscene as that sounds. Maybe my real issue is that I'm addicted to food porn!
