How To Lose Weight Fast - By Increasing Your Metabolism

There is often confusion about Metabolism and how it affects your body. Many people think that you are given a “metabolism” and you have to live with it.

Well that is not really true at all.

Your Metabolism is the process by which our body converts Food (fuel) into energy. The extension to this is your metabolic rate which is the speed at which you convert food into energy.

In every living moment of your life your metabolism is working. While asleep it does not need to work very hard, while exercising it needs to work very hard. The rate at which your metabolism works is a direct derivative of what your body requires at any given time.

So you need to understand that if today you are exactly what you are. And in 1 months time, having been to the gym every day and followed a well designed resistance program, you have now increased your muscle mass by 5%. Your body will have gone through some other changes but in an effort to keep it simple lets just assume that all that has changed is that you now have a larger muscle mass.

Now when you go to sleep at night your body has to supply more energy to maintain that extra muscle mass, and so it needs more fuel to burn to create that extra energy. In addition during tomorrows gym session you are going to need a whole lot more energy to be able to do your workout. Your body has to get that energy from somewhere. You van provide that extra source of energy by eating more, OR if you do not eat any extra food, your body will find it from stored energy sources.

Now if you are super fit with a very low percentage of body fat, then this can be a very dangerous situation, however if you happen to be looking to lose weight, then you happen to have a great source of energy that your body will be only to happy to use. Your excess body fat. How cool is that.

Obviously this whole process of increasing your metabolism by increasing your muscle mass and or expending more energy in your daily activities is only going to work really effectively if you combine it with a sensible and balanced diet. But there you have it in simple terms, you CAN alter your metabolic rate and you can do it easily for almost instant results.

You don’t even have to worry about building muscle bulk if that is not your go. You just need to expend more energy in a day. Simple things like walking the stairs instead of taking the lift etc. Now I hear you say but I am 20 floors up. Stop being so negative, think outside the box. When you walk in the front foyer, go straight to the stairs and simply walk a couple of floors, hell just do one if that is all you ca do today, then catch the lift the rest of the way while you catch your breath!

Hope you got something from this and remember; Persistence pays off, so get over it and get on with it!
