Metabolism and how to control it.
Burning calories is accomplished by the conversion of energy into work. For instance
if a person was to lay in bed all day with zero movement or physical activity, just for brain, heart, lungs and liver function to work a person has a base line basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is how many calories a person burns at rest to stay alive. The idea is the more a person moves the more they will increase energy output in the form of burning calories. Burning more calories through metabolism of food put into the body by eating is how a caloric deficiency is created. Create a caloric deficiency of 3,500 calories and that will equal 1lb of FAT LOSS.
Example: Negative 500 calories a day over the course of 7 days (1 week) will equal 3,500 calories burned. It breaks down that if a person is measuring what they eat with a food log/journal and is calculating calories burned during physical activity (PA) and exercise with figuring out their BMR then the example is as follows:
Calories Eaten: 2,000 for the day
BMR: 1,800 calories burned for basic body function
PA/Exercise: 700 calories burned from movement
What is the best way to increase your metabolism for both BMR and Exercise? Well, before we get to that I want to lay out a few foundation principles to understand first. This blog for the month of Feb. will have a several posts on the topic of metabolism because because it is the basis for how a person feels and truly a person CONTROLS it with every choice throughout the course of a day (yep, 24 hours). I will be identifying basic concepts of eating and moving that can FIRE UP YOUR METABOLISM TO BURN AT HIGHT LEVELS THEN EVER BEFORE.
If you think you might have a slow metabolism, stay tuned till tomorrow. Over the course of the next week I will present an option to not only understand more about HOW TO INCREASE YOUR BMR, but impact your metabolism in very positive ways.
Why is your metabolism important? Its your energy for the day....
