Be active – up to 2 hours after a good workout you will continue to burn calories faster than normal as your body starts to recover
Eat small meals throughout the day – small regular meals will keep your metabolism ticking over, avoid you getting hungry and reaching for the biscuit tin
Eat enough protein – eating in general will boost your metabolism, protein boosts it the most
Tone up – lean muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than body fat. It is also a myth that women will bulk up if they use weights. We are not designed to become a beefcake! If you want to change the shape of your body you need to do resistance training
Eat a good breakfast – the most important meal of the day, it does what it says – it breaks the fast. A combination of carbohydrate and protein is best i.e. scrambled eggs and wholemeal toast
