One of the most effective methods getting into good physical condition is to lose fat by boosting metabolism. Metabolism means the burning of calories consumed. When it is high your body’s metabolism is burning more calories than when it is low. Meaning you lose weight rather than your body storing calories as fat. Many attempt to drop inches simply by not eating which does not work.
The result is people begin wanting food. This is only natural. To compensate for calories they did not eat the last two or three days, they overeat. If you have a sedentary life style and job, your metabolism needs to be raised not your food intake lowered. When you do not eat, the first thing your body does is feed off your muscle, not your fat.
A sedentary life leads to stored calories as fat because your metabolism is low. You need to turn calories into energy. You do this by increasing your metabolism. Food is energy. When you deprive your body of food you deprive your body of energy. You want to train your body to turn food into energy.
When you increase your metabolism you will not only burn more calories but you will also have more energy. People who try to lose weight by not eating, are sluggish throughout the day. Food is turned into energy by your body. Limit food and you limit energy. The key is to turn your body into an energy-making machine.
Remember your days in high school when you could eat anything and not gain weight? Back then you walked to school. You walked around campus. You were in gym class everyday. You were in practice for two or three hours a day if you were on the team. And you also played in the actual games each week.
