Supercharge your slow metabolism using these 2 tips (plus your free sample meal plan!)
I didn’t always have a good metabolism. From my early teens well into after I graduated from college I really struggled with my weight.
It always felt like no matter what I ate I could never lose weight or, even worse, I was always slowly gaining weight.
Thankfully with the right information (yes, exactly what’s in the Beyond Diet Program) that excess weight is now a thing of the past. Not only has my body been able to stay healthy and lean, my metabolism is now cranking on full speed.
How exactly did I do it? How did I take a turtle paced metabolism and get it to lose 30 pounds and keep it off?
With a whole lot of metabolism boosting foods.
Specifically, I have 2 secret weapons I incorporate into every single meal for the ideal metabolism boosting effect.
Here’s exactly how you can do the same…
1. Include a protein into every meal — You’ll see how I do this specifically in the sample meal plan below, but you want to be sure you have a natural source of healthy protein in every one of your meals.
This will ensure your blood sugar stays balanced all day long, preventing any cravings or hunger from sneaking into your day. It will also keep your metabolism strong all day.
2. Get the right dose of Omega-3s every day from a clean, high-quality source — This is another absolute staple when your goal is to get rid of stubborn fat. Getting enough quality Omega-3s can be the difference between weight loss success and failure.
I have seen this with my clients again and again. Not only does weight loss accelerate once they begin consistently taking Omega-3s, they also report feeling less hungry and experience fewer cravings while transitioning to a new way of eating.
p.s. Here's the exact Omega 3 I use every single day.
What does a typical day of metabolism boosting eating look like? Here’s a sample day…
Isabel's Metabolism-Boosting Meal Plan
7:00am (Breakfast):
Chocolate Banana Oatmeal, Daily Energy Green Drink and 1 Spring of Life Omega-3 capsule.
It is critical to start your day off with a healthy dose of protein. So after I make my gluten free oats, I add a scoop of plant based protein powder to it. Then I add some fruit (usually ½ banana or a handful of berries) and some raw cacao for a nutritional punch. Delicious!
Take a look at your current breakfast: does it contain a healthy serving of protein? If you're not an oatmeal fan, eggs are also a great option.
Many people have a hard time remembering to take their supplements throughout the day, which is why I pair my Omega-3 supplement with my meals. When I prepare my breakfast, I am automatically reminded that it's time to take this critical supplement.
10:00am (Snack):
1 ounce raw almonds or cashews with 1 cup chopped carrots and celery
If I'm having a really productive work day, sometimes I can forget about my snack. That's why I make it as easy as possible for myself by having a bag of raw nuts and some fresh veggies available at all times.
12:00pm (Lunch):
4-5 ounces wild salmon or cod (if I have some leftovers in the fridge) or a can wild salmon (this makes lunch super easy), over about 1 cup sautéed veggies with ½ cup cooked quinoa or rice on the side.
I have another Spring of Life Omega-3 capsule with lunch.
There's that protein again. You'll notice that it's in every meal. But you'll also notice there's a healthy portion of carbohydrates in there as well.
A big mistake people make is thinking they need to go completely carbohydrate-free to lose weight. Not true. Healthy high-fiber carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, squash, quinoa, rice, and oats are great to include in your meals alongside your protein.
3:00pm (Snack):
2 tablespoons raw almond butter drizzled over 1 cup mixed berries.
More protein with a healthy carbohydrate... I really do keep each meal balanced while including plenty of fruits and veggies!
6:00pm (Dinner):
4-5 ounces turkey meatballs with zucchini noodles and tomato sauce, with a small green salad with my Famous Salad Dressing.
I have 1 last Spring of Life Omega-3 capsule to supercharge my metabolism at dinner!
I tend to keep my evening meal to mostly protein and vegetables, consuming most of my carbohydrates during the day. Notice that protein is always there though... it's a critical component in every meal.
Yes, I take an Omega-3 supplement 3 times each day. I have noticed that my Omega-3 supplement is as critical to my health as all the healthy food I eat throughout the day, so I never want to forget to take it.
7:30pm:
Peppermint tea sweetened with stevia.
I like to sip on tea while I read books to my kids. I so look forward to this time in the evening... it really helps me unwind from the busy day.
Remember, if your metabolism has been on slow motion in the past, you can easily get it back on track.
Start by implementing my 2 metabolism boosters –
Protein in every meal and the right amount of Omega 3’s every single day.
If you're not already taking a high-quality Omega-3 supplement, I can't urge you enough to start right away.

Unfortunately Spring of Life just doesn't ship outside the US right now but it doesn't mean you still can't find quality products. And email doesn't allow us to differentiate where you live, but keep in mind you don't have to purchase these products to still be healthy and lose weight.
