Even if more exercise is undertaken a net loss of protein can occur if calorie intake is low.
-Remember dieters reduce their calorie intake but exercise uses extra carbs so the body must breakdown
extra protein to convert into carbohydrates. More carbs are needed because a less fit individual often has an untrained cardiovascular system and cannot supply enough oxygen for cells to burn fat for
energy during the exercise. Also if no exercise is performed the body has no need to use extra body fat because so little energy is required when inactive.
-Exercise can increase metabolism but the
trick for the unfit person is to perform the correct exercise and not cut calories too much too soon. To lose FAT weight fast the best way is to prepare the body by increasing the metabolism BEFORE c

What is the 'average' person's Basal Metabolic Rate (Metabolism) ?
-As a very rough guide, the average person's BMR is about half a calorie per pound of body weight, per hour. So, if you weigh 140
pounds you will use up approximately 70 calories an hour or 1680 calories per day doing nothing.

Dangerous side-effects for rasing metabolism
-In America, some over-the-counter weight loss supplements contain thyroid extract from animals, or other substances that (supposedly) act like human t
hyroid hormones to speed up metabolism.
-Reported side-effects of these products include:
- Nervousness and tremors
- Bulging eyes
- Racing heart beat
- Diarrhea
- Excessive
sweating
- And worse!

The physical and chemical processes that maintain a life are called, collectively, its "metabolism." A flow of energy is required to run the metabolism of any organism, and the basic energy source for
all birds is the sun. Green plants "capture" the sun's energy in the process of photosynthesis, and birds then acquire it by eating plants or by eating other animals that eat plants. The energy is us
ed to do the work of building tissues, contracting muscles, manufacturing eggs, processing information in the brain, and powering all the other activities of a living bird

How does Human Metabolism Work?- Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
-The body uses energy to digest and absorb the nutrients present in the food we eat. The rate of energy used for the TEF is about 10%,
it can be increased depending on the composition of each meal.
-The TEF causes much confusion when dieters calculate calories in and out. For example;
-If we overeat the TEF actually increases
due to more food to digest, the stomach and intestines have to work harder and longer. It means if we ate an extra 3500 calories ( number of calories per pound of fat ) we wouldn't actually gain 1 pou
nd of body fat because the TEF has to be accounted for, we would gain less.
-The opposite also happens if we cut 3500 calories to lose 1 pound. The TEF decreases because there would be less food/n

Increasing the metabolism is the fastest way to permanent weight loss, a lowered metabolism is very often the reason weight loss progress grinds to a sudden halt. When weight loss slows a dieter may r
educe food intake further, however progress is still slow because a net loss of protein continues to lower the metabolism.
