Change Your Metabolism and Lose Weight Fast Now

I love the rags at the supermarket checkout lines — all the weight loss plans splashed all over the covers of the magazines.

Promises that if you just eat this special food, or follow this exercise program, that your metabolism will shoot through the roof and those pounds will finally melt off your body like never before.

What Are the Real Facts About Your Metabolism?

• metabolism is like gravity — it’s part of Mother Nature’s Laws
• it’s not modifiable
• sure, if you gain or lose weight then metabolism will increase of decrease respectively
• the change won’t be significant

How about the idea that you don’t lose weight because you have a slow metabolism? More hogwash. Your metabolic rate (how fast your body burns calories) is dictated by your body size.

There are two main parts to your metabolic rate: resting metabolism and activity metabolism. For most people the resting metabolism is 70% of their total daily calorie burn.

The one you can change is the activity part — that’s where moving your body comes into play.

Add Muscle and Increase Your Metabolism

Adding a good bit of muscle is tough to do, but no matter, muscle at rest burns few calories; in fact, a pound of muscle at rest burns 5 calories in 24-hours and a pound of fat burns 2 calories per 24-hours. Forget about this.

Amazingly, most people have heard about and believe this myth — anothet major reason for weight loss failure.
