Magazine, movies and television  bombard us with images of beautiful celebrities with magnificent bodies and most of us, when we see this, are tempted to cut our already low calorie intakes in an effort to shift an extra kilogram or two, but the thing is,if you and everyone else were physically and functionally identical, it would be easy to determine the standard energy needs, but we're not and many factors influence our metabolism and weight loss including body size and composition, age, and sex.
How to speed up your metabolism:

• Swap you daily cuppa for green tea - there's evidence that it contains antioxidants that speed up metabolism. Green tea extract results in a significant increase in energy expenditure which influences metabolism and weight loss, and it also has a significant effect on fat oxidation. Some of the effects are due to the caffeine content of green tea, but it also contains properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine. With Herbalife's Thermojetics Instant Herbal Beverage with green tea extract you are on your way to increased metabolism and weight loss. The bonus part is that it comes in four amazingly refreshing flavours: lemon, peach, raspberry and original.
• Get active - it's a sure-fire way to increase the amount of muscle you have, which in turn will speed up your metabolism. Be more active in your daily life too; climb the stairs, don't take the lift.
• Rapid weight loss is muscle weight loss- and muscles help our metabolism function at its best. Eat plenty of protein-rich foods - research shows that around 25 percent of calories in a protein-rich meal may be burnt off. By supplementing with Personalised Protein Powder you can maintain lean muscle mass which increases your metabolism and weight loss.
