Metabolism

Are you doing an intense work out for ages and taking a diet but still you are unable to increase or reduce weight? 

You still can't see the much difference in your body comparing with compeers it might be due to your metabolism.

It is an engine in our body that burns the calories like the engine of the vehicle burns the petrol or diesel. The metabolism rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. The metabolism rate is either slow or fast or normal which depending upon the body of an individual. It is important to know that if calories are not burned, the body cannot use them for energy and to repair tissues. They end up as getting stored in our body as fat, you should know your metabolism rate and which kind of metabolism rate your body needs- slow or fast.

Slow metabolism is a BIG NO-NO, it is not at all good for anyone it means your body is not burning calories. It directly implies that you are eating food but the calories are not burning which results in fat or weight gain or you can say those people who are overweight their metabolism is slow that their body is unable to burn that amount of calories they are consuming. Similarly, people who are thin their metabolism is fast that means their process of burning calories is fast.

FAST METABOLISM

Having a high metabolism means your body burns energy from food at a faster rate than your peers and you are unable to gain weight easily. If you feel the same then calculate your BMR and add BMR value with 500-1000 calories per day that will be your daily intake.

For example: If your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is 2000 then you need to increase the intake by 500-1000 calories per day which means you need to take 2500-3000 calories per day.

• Increase your intake- At least take the 5 meals in a day and take a protein-rich diet.
• Keep your cardio at minimal.
•  Do your workout 4  times a week.

SLOW METABOLISM

Having a low metabolism means your body burns energy from food at a lower or slower rate and you gain weight quickly.

How you will know that you have a slow metabolism rate?

1. It is easier for you to gain weight rather than losing.
2. You cannot lose weight no matter how much you exercise.
3. Heels are cracked and dry.
4. Losing a lot of hair.
5. You have terrible afternoon sugar cravings.

SOLUTION:  BURN MORE EAT LESS

Calculate your BMR and decrease the value of BMR by 500-800 calories per day. For example, if the value of your BMR is 2000 then decrease the daily intake by 500-800 calories that will be 1200-1500  calories which is your daily consumption calories.

1.      Burn extra 500-1000 calories.

2.      Eat-in every 3 hr but in low quantity.

3.      Drink at least 3 liters of water

4.      Increase cardio
