How To Increase Metabolism and The Effect It Has on Your Weight...Many people are interested in how to increase metabolism and what effect it has on your health. What is metabolism? Metabolism is the name given to the burning of energy in order to run all the involuntary systems of the body. The energy required keeping bodily functions running smoothly accounts for over 70% of the calories we eat in a well-balanced healthy diet. This energy is burnt in the muscles in a similar way that fuel is burnt in a furnace.
Given
that muscles burn the majority of calories we take in, it stands to reason
that the more lean muscle tissue we have, the more you increase metabolism and the
more energy we burn off. Yo-yo
dieting and low calorie diets have a tremendous effect on metabolism because each time you lose
weight on a restrictive low calorie diet, you lose muscle and when you gain the weight
back, you gain it back as fat, not muscle.
As time goes on, the more muscle you lose, the slower your
metabolism ... the slower your metabolism, the harder it is to lose weight and
the easier it is to gain weight! When you use a food calorie
chart to count and restrict calories, calorie intake is often much lower than it should be. Restricted
low calorie diets don’t work because the body adjusts its
metabolism to match the lower calorie intake, thereby conserving energy.
So even though counting calories with a Food Calorie Chart means you are taking in less calories, the body automatically slows downs the metabolism in
response. This continual slowing
down of the metabolism makes it harder and harder to lose weight, even while
using a food calorie chart to greatly restrict your calorie intake. Next...Now that you know how to increase metabolism, learn what foods cause slow metabolism. You'll be surprised...

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all of your thorough research on what I believe to be my very own physiological dysfunction. My overweight girl friend keeps trying to convince me that we both have a mental problem with food addiction...I know I'm not crazy, and I don't think she is either." ME, United States
"Thank you. I was able to download the books and was so impressed. I became very ill several months ago and have had the drs find all the problems discussed in your books one at a time. I don't feel like a freak now and know that all these problems combined seem to be a syndrome that can be lived with or cured. I was just about to give up and found you by entering the 3 major disorders they had diagnosed me with into a search engine and the link to your site came up. Thank you and God bless." LM, United States
"From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving my life. I mean that literally -- I have been been following dr. atkins diet for 25 years and in the past year I thought that I was losing my mind. ... Some one convinced me that the high protein diet might be causing the problem. Through some research, I found you - AND I downloaded your books! Within 3 weeks I am sleeping through the night (2 years without sleep) and my hot flashes are totally gone. I am waking up in the morning and I want to live again!! My friends and fiance cannot believe the change in me. With everything that is in me, I thank you folks SOOOOOOO much. MY brain was lacking so much serotonin!!" DH, Canada
