The word metabolism has become very fashionable these days, but in real terms it refers to the amount of energy your body uses.
We all think about energy in our workouts, but our body uses vital energy resources in just about everything we do.
Your heart beating, sustaining your lean muscle on your body, breathing and regulating your temperature among other functions all require calories, so your metabolism is truly the rate your body burns calories 24 hours a day!
How many people do you know who blams their “slow metabolism” for their lack of progress? I know a huge number for starters, and have spent a career disproving that statement!!
The word metabolism is so misunderstood, that the often corrupt weight loss industry will take advantage of this ignorance by making false claims.
How many times have you fallen for pills that claim to “raise” your metabolism without the need for diet and exercise?
Like i said, how many times have you been told me the media that you cannot lose weight due to your “slow metabolism”?!!
How many times have you been told that “thin” people were born lucky because of their fast metabolisms”?!!
A big myth exploded is the fact that overweight people have actually higher metabolisms than so called thinner people because it requires sometimes a lot more calories to SUSTAIN a much higher weight. The bigger weight person also burns more calories in exercise too, because it is usually a bigger effort.
Genes DO play in metabolism but it has been proven by science that they prove a far smaller role than previously thought!
Luck doesn’t really have anything to do with it, action and eating well has about a thousand times more to do with it so the sooner you realise that the better, and the sooner you realise that actions speak louder than words the better!!!
The main point is we do not have to become “victims” of our so called slow metabolisms at all!
We will talk about many ways to boost your metabolism A LOT tomorrow!!!
