Did you know that you can lose a pound of fat a day?
Did you know that you can lose a pound of fat a day? You should know that you can get the pounds off naturally, safely and quickly. To rapidly lose weight all you need to do is fire up your metabolism. How will raising the meatbolism help me to lose weight? When we try to start a diet, the usual method is to drastically restrict our calories. We also crank up the exercise in an attempt to burn even more calories and metabolize fat. Why won't the conventional wisdom work over the long haul? The theory seems correct on the surface, but has one fatal flaw: reduced calories and strenuous exercise warn our bodies to drop our basal metabolisms to avoid starvation. You see, our bodies are programmed for survival and strive to maintain homeostasis. If your body detects drastically reduced caloric intake it will automatically slow the basal metabolism to conserve it's fat reserves for survival. How can you help to keep your metabolism running at a high level? Eat, and eat often to give your body cues that you are not actually starving. So, doesn't exercise help you lose weight and get fit? Absolutely. Exercise is so important that I can not dispute the benefits in any healthy lifestyle. In fact, the medical journals are filled with detailed information on just how essential exercise really is to maintaining health. You can actually exercise less and get more out of your workouts when done correctly. I thought exercise is supposed to raise the metabolism? The short answer is that exercise does raise the metabolism and help to build lean muscle mass. You will recall that it takes more calories to maintain muscle than fat, thus raising the metabolism. Most diets will not provide enough protein to maintain lean muscle mass. You see, without adequate dietary protein, your body will simply burn muscle rather than fat.
