Metabolism

You need energy whatever you do eat, sleep, study, work, work out, breathe, etc. While you read this your calories are burned. The necessary calories are extracted from the carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the diet eaten/drunk. The rate at which calories is called the metabolic rate. A high metabolic rate helps prevent fat stored. Three things speed up the metabolism:

regular training
bigger muscles
eat more often (at least five times in one day).
More muscle tissue creates a fast metabolism and prevents fat in the body can go pile up. Since fat slow energy and your body especially fat consumed at rest, your resting metabolism is an important factor if you want to lose weight. The height of your resting metabolism determines for 60 to 75% your daily energy consumption. An important factor that determines the height of resting metabolism, your muscle mass. Your muscle mass determines for 22% of your resting metabolism. If you lose muscle mass, your resting metabolism goes down and your body loses some of its fat-burning capacity. Loss of muscle mass means a lower resting metabolism, lower fat consumption, more effort to loose weight and more trouble after losing weight on weight.

There are three types of body types, the Mesomorph, endomorf and ectomorf. The ectomorf has very little fat and muscle volume by a fast metabolism. The only way to get more muscle volume for a ectomorf is next to intensive training using heavy weights eating lots of carbohydrates. For the meso-and endomorfen, this is not so much needed and could be a power supply with more protein due to a slower metabolism to a better result.

Carbohydrates are the main caloric energy source that in muscle cells in the form of glycogen are stored. At the time that this energy source is so low that no energy can be concerned, there are still more out but two other energy sources available: stored body fat and muscle protein. Unfortunately speaks our body in order to obtain the protein to energy first before giving it to the stored fats begins. That means that your body is in fact its own muscle tissue to get to energy, with the result that your muscle mass. To avoid this, it is important to spread the calorific intake throughout the day by at least five meals to eat. That means you have enough fuel refueled until your next meal two to three hours later.

The same case is on extreme diets. Extreme diets do not work if you want to lose weight in a good way. The energy shortage during such a diet is often too large and too acute. The body then recognizes a State of hunger, save when it can grease on and breaks down muscle tissue in the energy needs. Your daily energy consumption goes down, tired, is faster sick and feel weak. Therefore you often stop after a short period with losing weight. If you are going to eat normally again, then is gone as far down the metabolism, that you again soon arrives and usually several pounds heavier than for losing weight.
Make sure that if you have a diet in a healthy way this does. Eat good nutrition and take possibly a specialist in hands, otherwise all the effort for naught.
