Here is a quick summary of some key items you want to keep in your kitchen as they are not only healthy but can help you keep a good metabolism. Now note – if you decide to live on the couch and become a movie bump-kin these suggestions will not really help. You must move those legs too as muscle burns more calories than fat.
1 lb muscle – burns upwards of 50 calories a day
1 lb fat – burns about 2-3 calories a day
Keep in your pantry:
- Matcha Green Tea Powder – 1/2 tsp a day (every day) has shown to increase metabolism by 35-40% as the polyphenols increase the brain chemical noradrenaline which increases heat production within our fat – this burns more calories naturally.
- Spicy Foods such as cayenne, chili peppers etc. – these cause more ‘inner heat’ in our body and then cooling down process takes energy which gives a small (and short) metabolism boost.
- Cold Water – one study in Germany showed 90 minutes after drinking water a boost of 24% above the average rate happened.
- Cinnamon
- Kelp – contains iodine which is a crucial component of thyroid hormones; the thyroid gland controls over all body metabolism and temperature.

My husband watched the segment where Karla spoke of how to use the
matcha green tea powder. I can not find the recipe (if there is such a thing) for it. Thanks!
thanks for the Question Betty-Ann. The matcha green tea is green tea so you can mix it with hot water as a normal tea or milk like a latte. Do a combo of both if you prefer too. Happy Greening!
Hi
I caught the segment on BT about “kelp”, and there was a product called “Thyro-set” or something close to that name. I think it contained kelp or iodine?
Where can I find this product in Calgary? I have been to 2 health/vitamin stores in Market Mall and neither had heard of thyro-set?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Ruth
