forget that diet and try this one.\nGo with the low fat diet. 20 grams of fat a day. Find all the things with no fat and keep yourself fed all day. The body understands two things, feast or famine. This is a feast diet and as soon as your body understands that there is an abundance of food you will soon go into high metabolism and shed all the excess weight while eating all you want. The trick is to feed your body so it doesn't store fat. Traditional diets tell your body that there is a shortage of food and thus, it stores all food in excess of what ever calorie limit you use. I love this diet because I love to eat. There are lots of foods and most drinks that do not have any fat. So indulge yoursellf. Go low fat.\nOne thing about low fat to remember for your health, the body needs 17 grams of fat per day to survive but don't worry, it's easy to eat that many fat grams per day. Just make sure you do. If you are a male, you can have 30 grams of fat per day.

A low-fat diet for some metabolic types can cause changes in your cholesterol profile that may lead to an increased heart disease risk.  Starving your body of good fats is especially dangerous for your heart.

Yes. Due to low body fat, your body will cut down on functions that are not necessary for survival. The body figures why waste the nutrients if no more are coming in.

Low metabolism can be due to many things, medical tests need to be done to rule out physical conditions that may cause low metabolism.  If there is a physical issue it usually can be dealt with effectively.  However, most low metabolism and weight gain are side effects due to conditions such as stress and depression.  A combination of eating habits, excerise will raise your metabolic rate and reduce weight in the short run, but not be long term without getting your mind and soul in order.  The spirit/mind must be nourished and excercised as well and this takes some soul searching concerning satisfaction and happiness on the individual's part.  Have you ever undertaken a task or hobby that took many hours and didn't even notice you didn't eat and you never seemed to tire while doing it because it gave you so much satisfaction?  \nA mind set for successful weight loss and goes beyond what most diet and fitness programs alone can do for people.  The mind and soul need to be attended to first, the physical items such as eating habits and exercise are the easy part.  \nFor the physical part the two sources I use are body 4 life for exercise and intuitive eating for a nourishment program.  For the mind and soul I use many different sources from religion to motivational speakers.  Good luck on your quest.

Your metabolism slows down at first, but if you stay in the cold, it quickens to keep you warm and to keep you alive and not in hypothermia. Slowing your metabloism doesn't make you stay younger though, makes you fat... To stay younger your cells would have to freeze and you'd be just a young looking corpse afterwards!

B Vitamins from whole grains and complex carbohydrates are good for raising your metabolism. Fish oils, which are rich in EPA & DHA help lower bad cholesterol & raise natural hormones which in turn stimulate metabolism as well. And don't forget to exercise. Exercising improves metabolism and general well-being.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have  more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

The energy that your body needs is released by the process of metabolism.  The higher your metabolism is, the faster your body uses energy.

People who are very active tend to have a great metabolism and are able to break down foods at a faster rate. Someone, who has a poor metabolism, cannot break down foods as fast. It's doesn't mean the person is unhealthy, it could be hereditary, like most diseases, or in this case a fast metabolism. Also, these people tend to be very active and despite what they eat, they never seem to gain the weight. You can improve you metabolism by eating healthy and be active. Though it's not always that way for many people.

ooo i did a project on this...\n\nconsumes more energy than is needed for the day (determined by metabolic calculator - body size, height, gender, physical activity level)\n\ngenetic factors (e.g. fat storage/usage genes, some people may be more likely to store energy as fat)\n\nrate of metabolic processes (how fast a person burns calories)\n\ninactivity (being couch potatoes, taking car instead of walking, sedentary or not active lifestyle etc.)\n\npoor diet (too much mcdonald's/fast food, eating foods high in fat, not eating enough vegetables)\n\nhope that helped!

increase your metabolism by exercising regularly, eating more meals but smaller portion, increase your lean muscle tissue by doing weight and resistance training. building more muscles can help burn body fat 24/7. the results dont really come THAT fast. fast weight loss is normally due to water loss from the body.

Alot of weight is actually turned into body mass, aka muscle. You obtain this thru exercises and diet.I have battled the high cholesterol and high triglycerides for several years. So I have had to cut back on starches which turns into sugar that turns into fat. So start watching your saturated fat content. Also you do need a daily regiment of some for of exercises and increase this each week by 10 minutes. Burning calories and the weight does come off you thru sweating and bowel movements ext..And then some of it turns into fuel for your body. If you have a low metabolism, then the weight will stay on, so get your metabolism back up.

Eat atleast 1500 calories a day to keep your body from shutting down in survival mode and that will slow your metabolism down and it will help you stay at your weight.  Exercise, that's the number one key.

a slow metabolism doesnt help you gain muscle faster...it just makes you burn fat slower.

Body fat is stored up sugars, commonly known as carbs. Natural sugars are a much better form. Like fruit, honey, and natual juices. \n\nFirst step is getting your body to use up the stored energy. Which means less sugars/carbs (because the body naturally stores them) and more proteins (because the body naturally uses them right away. Also foods with Niacin are a bonus. Things like hot peppers if you can handle them. And any type of activity that will keep you moving and make you swet. EX- jogging, bike riding, walking, hiking, and many more.\nAlso a note. Remember that your body will use the closest stored energy first. So if you exorcise your legs then any fat on the legs gets used first.\n\nSecond. When your body really starts to burn the extra stored energy. I would recommend stepping up the exorsice. Weight lifting will really help at this point if you aren't already. To start off, you should use less weight but lift longer. This will wake up any sleeping muscles you already have.\n\nThird. After that you have been pretty much reprogramming your metabolism. You will find that your body will let you know it is time to really increase the exorcises. It will seem that what you do doesn't work you very much any more. This would be a good time to increase weight lifting and finding more physically demanding tasks to complete. For example, something like splitting logs with an axe. But not limited to that.\n\nThe reprogramming of your metabolism is the most difficult part about it. It requires determination to stick with it.
