Boost Your Dopamine

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that is responsible for brain power. Dopamine is also responsible for regulating your metabolism. When you influence your brain chemistry this is the origin of where normal hormone production starts. Thus, changing brain chemistry is the fastest way to influence body composition.

So if you want to lose weight you should consider things that will raise dopamine. If you have low levels of dopamine you are likely to be overweight with extra weight in your stomach. In order to raise dopamine naturally the easiest thing you can do is to eat more protein. Protein is rich in the amino acid tyrosine(the precursor for dopamine). One of the biggest mistakes that the average person makes is that they eat no protein at breakfast. By skipping your protein at breakfast you are missing out on an easy way to naturally increase your dopamine and lose weight. Another easy way to increase dopamine is to exercise. Exercise increases dopamine and the increased dopamine makes you want to exercise even more.

When your dopamine levels are increased you will be more likely to want to exercise, less likely to overeat, and you will have better energy throughout the day.
