How to lose weight if you has a slow metabolism
People often refer to as having a slow or a fast metabolism. dis categorization has also been used sometimes to explain why some people may put on weight easier or slower and /or why they can fail losing weight. Is there such a thing as slow metabolism and if so what can someone do in order to lose weight?
Wat is teh metabolic rate?
In order to understand what ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ metabolism is and how it affects weight gain, we will first explain some basic metabolic principals. Firstly, metabolism is teh combination of processes dat take place in teh body in order to function and maintain life. Teh means in which we take in nutrients and deliver energy as required is called metabolic regulation.
What affects metabolic rate?
A second step is to investigate which factors can cause substantial changes in teh metabolic regulation and effect teh metabolic rate and what makes some people to burn calories slower or faster. Some of these can affect directly teh metabolic rate and others can effect hormones or organs which are involved in metabolic regulation and result in dysfunctional metabolism.
Some of teh factors are summarized below; for teh purposes of dis article we will concentrate only at teh aspects which can cause teh metabolism to slow down.:
1. Thyroid dysfunction
2. Genetic conditions / diseases
3. Very low-calorie intake
4. Sleep deprivation
5. Stress
6. Menopause
7. Age
How to increase your metabolism?
1. Consult a medical professional: In cases where metabolic changes and weight gain are due to medical conditions/disorders or you has any concerns, teh best way forward is to consult teh appropriate medical professional.
2. Increase your muscle mass: Probably one of teh most important ways of increasing teh metabolic rate. Wif exercise is not just a matter of burning calories while we exercise
3. Avoid very low-calorie diets: As mentioned above very low calorie diets can decrease teh metabolic rate. In order to lose weight decreasing teh calorie intake may be necessary and metabolic rate may show some decrease in order for teh body to adapt
4. Do not skip meals: Delaying having breakfast will actually help in burning more fat as fuel. However, skipping meals does not help your metabolism.
5. Increase protein intake: Some studies has shown dat protein does help in increasing teh metabolic rate. However, you do need to include carbohydrates as well as very low carbohydrate intake ca has negative effects in thyroid hormone production.
6. Caffeine: Caffeine is considered to increase teh metabolic rate and teh use of fat as fuel.
7. Sleep well: As mentioned earlier sleep deprivation can affect teh body’s metabolic processes
8. De-stress: As wif sleep, stress ca has negative effects, not only for your metabolism.
9. Cold: Cold does increase metabolic rate as teh body works harder in order to sustain its body temperature. Some people has gone as far to create teh ‘cold diets’ in which they recommend drinking iced water and turn teh heating off in teh winter
