Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
-In order to compare one person's metabolism with another's, scientists have devised a new buzz word - basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your BMR is the rate at which you use u
p energy when at rest - e.g. when you are sleeping or just lying in bed. You might call it your tick over speed.
- The more you weigh the higher your BMR will be. The metabolic rate of very fat wom
en is 25% higher than that of thin women.
- BMR is much greater in childhood than in adulthood. After the age of about 20, it drops about 2 per cent, per decade.
- People whose bodies contai
n a higher proportion of muscle to fat, tend to have a higher BMR than those with lower muscular proportions - all other things being equal.

How does Human Metabolism Work? - Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
-This is the amount of calories needed to run all essential functions and chemical reactions while in a rested and quiet state. RMR is
the largest part of total metabolism and accounts for 65 - 75% of calories burned in a day.
-If lean weight is lost from the body through increased protein metabolism the RMR decreases. This often
happens when people go on a strict diet, the body is forced into what's known as a "negative nitrogen balance" which means more protein is lost than what is replaced due to less protein/energy intake
. This imbalance causes a gradual loss in lean weight thus lowering the RMR.
-Many dieters limit the amount of lean weight loss with some type of intense exercise in order for muscles to develop a

Effective fat loss cannot occur when the metabolism is low!
-Its a physiological fact that when losing weight we also lose protein from muscle. The faster the weight loss the more protein is used f
or energy and/or protein synthesis and a net loss of protein will always decrease the metabolism.
-As protein is lost from cells it gradually lowers the total lean body weight, this affects the bo
dy composition and lowers the metabolism. As this occurs it means we gradually require less calories to maintain weight so if the present diet is continued results will eventually stop, its even possi
ble to slowly GAIN back weight that was previously lost!

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!

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

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
