  How do I know if I have a fast or slow metabolism?

  Dr. Kavita

  You will know how fast or slow your metabolism is by calculating your basal metabolism rate. It measures how many calories your body burns, this will determine if you have fast or slow metabolism. Calculate your BMI by using this formula: 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years), the answer should be multiplied by 1.2 if you have a sedentary lifestyle, 1.375 if you exercise 1-3 times a week, 1.55 if you exercise 3-5 times a week, 1.725 if you exercise 6-7 times a week and 1.9 if you exercise vigorously daily. The answer to this will tell you how many calories you need to eat daily to lose weight.

  As we get older we tend to lay down fat which is more difficult to shift in mid-age and beyond. But ask yourself how active were you as a teenager? Most likely you are more sedentary now than you were in your teens. Did you change your eating habits since you were in your teens.Are you eating more fast food or ready made meals when you come home after a long day's work? Analyse the amount of physical activity you carried out in your teens and compare that to what you are doing now. For example, you may take the car to go to work and return in the evening. In your teens you would have most likely walked to and fro school. So if you can't weight lose, look at the changes you can make in your chosen lifestyle and increase your activity level

  What is meant by the word metabolism?

  Max Power

  Metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical and physiological changes that take place within the body. This includes the transformation of food into energy, the growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue, and the creation of enzymes and hormones. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) accounts for about 70 percent of daily energy expenditure. The amount of energy required to digest and utilize food makes up 5 to 10 percent of daily energy output, and the energy expended in physical activity uses an additional 20 to 30 percent.

  What meals should you eat to increase metabolism?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  The quality, frequency, and amount of food intake are all important variables in increasing your metabolism. Instead of eating large meals on a single sitting, eat small meals every 2-3 hours that you’re awake. Make sure you only consume food from natural sources as opposed to refined and processed products. Lean beef, fish, lean pork, poultry, and non-starchy vegetables and berries can all help to a real and lasting weight loss. It also helps to make your body a fat furnace by building muscles through weight training.

  How does alcohol affect my metabolism?

  1 Answer(s)

  Dr. Kavita

  Well, if you look at effects of alcohol on calorie consumption, you would not be as worried as you would be if you realized its effect upon lipid metabolism. Research proves that alcohol can play havoc on your body’s lipid metabolism and reduces it up to 73%. This is chiefly because the body finds it convenient to use up acetate derived by digestion of alcohol, rather than burn up dietary fats.

  What are efficient ways to speed up metabolism and help trim my gut down?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  When losing unwanted weight becomes difficult, slow metabolism is more often than not referred to as the culprit. While metabolic rate is partly responsible to how quickly the body burns and processes the calories, if you don’t mind what you eat and you don’t exercise then you can’t blame it all on your metabolism. To trim your gut down and boost your metabolism, first and foremost, eat healthy. Avoid junk food and fastfood and as much as possible prepare your meals at home. Not only is this healthier, it can be cheaper as well. Take it easy on the salad dressings and salt as well. As for your fluids, drink water, not soda. To rev up your metabolic rate further, be active. It doesn’t matter if it’s going to the gym, walking your dog or taking a flight of stairs, anything that would get you off the couch is a step in the right direction.

  Max Power

  For most of us who cannot or don’t want to go under the knife, the fastest and most effective way to lose weight is to have a healthy and active lifestyle. Consistency is king of the hill here. If you want to lose weight or if you simply want to maintain where you’re at right now, aside from regular exercise you also have to watch what you eat. As much as possible prepare your own meals instead of eating out, avoid sodas, and drink lots of water. If you don’t have time for the gym, buy a pedometer and see to it that you get 10,000 steps a day. This means taking the stairs and parking further away from the entrance to meet your goal.

  What are the best ways to speed up your metabolism?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  Boosting your metabolism and burning calories more efficiently can only come from the right combination of factors, which include diet, exercise, and sleep. If you’ve been stuck at the same weight and have problems losing weight even with regular exercise, aside from exercising a little harder, reducing your carbohydrate intake and increasing your protein intake is a good way to start. Make sure you get enough B vitamins and water as well, and consume the heaviest meals in the early hours of your day. What you eat is important, but WHEN you eat it is very important as well. Don’t skip breakfast or any meal for that matter because if your body goes into starvation mode, instead of losing fat you’ll gain more of it as the body will protect its fat stores from being depleted. If you are used to eating large portions of food every 3-4 hours, eat smaller meals more frequently instead. Coupled with some form of resistance exercise to develop muscle, you can rev up your metabolism even for hours afterwards.

  Metabolism is the biochemical process which is both the build up and breakdown of substances. It is most commonly used in the breakdown of food to convert into energy. In laymans term it is the burning of energy or using up of the taken food transforming it to energy. Exercise or movement makes it burn more than when you are immobile.
