FAQ’s on diet and weight loss
How can I raise my metabolism?
By eating close to or above your metabolic rate. This let’s your body know that you are going to receive regular intake of food and will not try to store as much in fat. Your body can recognize your diet and will do what it takes to adjust itself to prepare itself for when you aren’t eating. But if you are eating plenty, your body will prepare it into energy faster so it can be used as soon as you need it.
Excersising. Not only do you burn more energy while exercising but up to 1 - 4 hours after you are done. This is because your body takes time to cool down, like your heartrate. But, it’s more than just that. Your body, while working out, is trying to move it’s energy stores into a position so it can be used as fuel. Your body doesn’t know that you are done working out so it continues to do this at a decreasing rate until it balances out the energy you are needing at the time.
Weights. Muscle burns ernergy all the time. More so when you are working out. So if you have more muscle, then you will also burn more energy. This also will lower your body fat ration by increasing your lean body mass.
Vitamins and minerals. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can aid in the proccess of raising your metabolism and at the same time maintain your lean body mass. These are not the same ones that you use for stimulants. Chromium picolinate aids in the maintaining lean body mass. Especially if you are doing intense workouts. l-carnitine aids in the proccess of burning fat. It helps move the fat into its furnaces so it can by burned for energy.
What exercises are best to lose weight?
Fat takes the most amount of time to be turned into energy. But it is the most available energy source in our body. During light workouts your body will use fat more efficiently because it doesn’t require a lot of energy during your workout. During a moderate level of exercise your body burns more carbohydrates for energy. They can be turned into energy faster than fat can. And next during intense levels of active your body breaks down its own protein(muscle) for energy. This is also the proccess in which muscle grows. Your muscle will then grow stonger after it recovers.
