Top 6 Metabolism-Boosting Superfoods


Hi Reader,

I get asked a ton of questions about food… what to eat, when to eat, etc., etc.

Usually my answer is that you really can’t go wrong with whole “real” foods — the kinds of foods that don’t come from a manufacturer and that don’t have a long list of ingredients and are also low glycemic.

But some foods can give you an extra “edge” when it comes to specific goals…

Like this list of foods that can help you boost your metabolism!

How many of these do you eat (or drink) regularly?

6 Metabolism-Boosting Superfoods

  1. Berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) - Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins that support metabolism and overall health.
  2. Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.) - A great plant-based source of protein, legumes also contain resistant starch, a special type of prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. These bacteria create short-chain fatty acids that can help your body use stored fat for energy. Low glycemic index foods rich in protein and fiber, which can promote satiety and support a healthy metabolism.
  3. Fish and seafood Yes, fish and seafood are packed with protein that gives them all the benefits of lean meat — but they also contain key nutrients that support your thyroid! Your thyroid plays a huge role in your metabolism.
  4. Green Tea - contains antioxidants and catechins that can enhance metabolism and aid in fat burning. Extra credit: both oolong and matcha green tea may contain special fat-burning compounds and may also help you burn extra calories during your workouts.
  5. Leafy Greens (e.g., spinach, kale, Swiss chard): Low in calories and high in fiber and nutrients, leafy greens support a healthy metabolism.
  6. Spices (e.g., cinnamon, cayenne pepper, turmeric): Certain spices like cinnamon and cayenne pepper have been shown to boost metabolism and aid in weight management.

Remember: it’s not about aiming for a “perfect” diet, but about making healthy choices that support your goals AND your lifestyle!
