Metabolism is key if what we want is to burn fat at rest, but what is metabolism? Metabolism, to summarize, is the set of processes that convert nutrients into energy for the body to function.

How can metabolism help us burn fat?

Adopting healthy habits can help speed up a slow metabolism. Proper nutrition is key, as foods break down into nutrients that are processed by enzymes and used as energy. Including proteins in the diet can increase metabolic activity, which will help us burn fat faster, while the choice of carbohydrates can affect the release and storage of energy.

Here are some of the foods that help our metabolism:

• All proteins considered lean.
• Good fats such as those found in nuts, fatty fish, olive oil, seeds, etc.
• Fibrous carbohydrates, found in spinach, lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, Swiss chard, etc.
• Complex carbohydrates, found in peas and vegetables.

Tips for burning fat at rest

Here we share some tips to burn fat while resting:

1. Caffeine can be beneficial for losing weight. Consuming it in appropriate doses can increase resting energy expenditure, according to studies. However, it is important not to overuse caffeine due to possible side effects such as elevated blood pressure and insomnia.
2. A diet rich in high-quality proteins (meats, fish, eggs, seitan, tofu, cheeses) helps maintain an active metabolism, even at rest. It is not necessary to follow an extreme high-protein diet.
3. Consuming fiber-rich foods helps reduce appetite and avoid eating fatty foods between meals.
4. Adding spicy seasonings such as pepper, chili, and cayenne pepper to meals can increase energy expenditure and fat burning due to their ability to stimulate heat production.

Compression Therapy to burn fat at rest

Although we have mentioned several times that Compression Therapy itself does not help with weight loss, it does serve to facilitate lymphatic drainage, which helps eliminate toxins and fat from the body.

In short, Compression Therapy for weight loss does not exist; it is not designed as a treatment to lose fat, but it does help stimulate blood circulation and directly contributes to the cleansing of the body and lymph nodes.
