Speed up Your Metabolism

Going too long without food (five hours or more) slows your metabolism, causing your body to burn less fat than normal. This can also lead to blood sugar dips , cravings and hunger that make it harder to control your choices at the next meal or snack.
Solution: Have a healthful snack (100-200 calories) three hours after breakfast and another three hours after lunch. This keep your blood sugar and insulin levels steady and energy levels up too.

Speed Up Your Metabolism

People with a lifelong habit of eating early have a waistline about 2 inches smaller than that of breakfast skippers.

An early breakfast (should be ideally eaten between 7a.m. and 9 a.m.) not only speeds up your metabolism but also produces less of an enzyme that raises cholesterol. Eat breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up.

Tips to help digest your food properly

Do not drink a lot of water/juice/soda specially ice cold ones while you eat a meal. A sip or two of water at room temperature water is ok. Then wait for 45 minutes to an hour before drinking more water. By doing this you allow the natural juices in your stomach to help digest your food. Just imagine when you use a blender for any purpose and then what has happened when you have poured in a lot of water or any other liquid into it. Everything with start to flow out and your job will also not be done. The same concept applies to any food digestion in our bodies too.
