Speed Up Your Metabolism By Eating More—Not Less
Have a friend or family member than can eat a pint or more of Hageen Daz without gaining a pound while you gain weight after eating a spoonfull or two? The answer lies in your metabolism-the energy burning furnace we all have in our
bodies that burn calories 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Metabolism, is every metabolic process that is going on in your body. Each time you eat, whether its fat, protein or carbs, the chemicals in the cells of your body tear apart the food and turn it into energy that keeps your heart beating, your brain working and your body warm. The faster the metabolism, the faster calories are being consumed. The more you burn, the easier it is to lose weight.
Your daily metabolism consists of 4 different components:
Basal metabolism: 1300-2000 calories/day: This is the energy needed to breathe, maintain a normal body temperature, maintain circulation and brain activity.
Amount of Energy: variable but as much as 1300 to 2000 calories per day
Can I Increase It? NO, this is fixed, genetically, age, and gender dependent
Digestion of food: 75-150 calories/day: This is the energy needed to digest food.
Amount of energy: not much variation
Can I Increase it? YES, by selecting better foods and drinks, changing eating times and eating intervals
Daily Activities: 150 to 300 calories/day for people with sedentary jobs, up to 1000 or more calories for people with strenuous jobs.(This is not the energy expenditure with
planned exercise)
Amount of energy: extremely variable
Can I Increase it? YES, very easy to move around more, take stairs instead of elevator,
park further from office or school.
Planned Exercise: 0 to unlimited/day. This is the traditional “exercise” component.
It is not the exercise that occurs with activities of daily living, but the energy expended
by walking or jogging around the neighbhood, playing sports, going to the gym.
Many factors acting together and alone effect your metabolism. They include:
Age- younger people have faster metabolism than older ones
Gender- men have faster metabolism than women
Job activities-many jobs simply are so sedentary they burn few calories
Medications- numerous medications slow metabolism
Medical problems- diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, low thyroid slow metabolism
Depleted vitamins, minerals
Skipping meals, eating in the middle of the night, eating large carb breakfasts,
Inadequate protein and too many carbs
Large, high carb snacks before bedtime
The secret to easy weight loss is not to starve yourself to death, but to discover whether you have one of the many factors causing a slow metabolism and then making a few changes.

You have seen many of the reasons for metabolism to slow down.. We all have a large amount of control over our metabolic rate You can't change the number of calories your heart needs to beat or the energy you need to keep your body warm, but you can burn a few extra calories every day and make some better food choices. This does not take hours in gym.
Before you can make some good changes, you need to review the causes of a slow metabolism and see if you can find 3 or 4 factors that might be responsible for a slower than
normal metabolism.
