Fitness Success After 40 | The Truth About Your Metabolism
When it comes to metabolisms, some work fast, and some work slower. That's all there is to it though, right? Wrong.
There are countless factors that play into how the metabolism works, how fast it works, and what triggers this increase or decrease. To put it simply - our metabolism works like a thermostat.
Unfortunately, just like a thermostat, our metabolisms can become damaged over time from harsh diets and lifestyles, like chronic low-calorie dieting. Without using all the technical talk or boring you, our bodies have a natural BMR (basic metabolic rate).
If we mess with this natural process within our body, like not eating enough calories or over-exercising, then we start to mess with our personal thermostat that we've been talking about this whole time.If you aren't eating enough calories to sustain your body's basic needs, your body starts adapting to make up for the loss of energy, which means slowing the metabolism down...
There's been a major misconception floating around the fitness world for years that fewer calories equals weight loss - at the end of the day, all it does is slow down your metabolism's natural speed and encourages weight gain in an attempt to fix the imbalance happening.
