6 Week Body Makeover - Metabolism

By James Kim

Learning how to control your metabolism is the key factor in losing weight. Regardless of your body type, increasing your metabolism will help burn calories at a faster rate. Metabolism is how fast your body converts calories (food) into energy.

Based on your customized blue print, the body makeover will determine what kinds of food work well with your body type. Knowing your body type and the foods that work well with your body will reprogram your metabolism so that it uses more of the food that you eat as energy, instead of food storage. Once your body's metabolism increases, you will burn more food energy. This is good news as you will actually be able to eat MORE while still losing weight.

Your bodies metabolism is affected by five factors: age, daily activity, food consumption, food choices and genetics.

Your genes will determine how fast your metabolism burns calories. If you have been skinny your whole life, your metabolism burns calories faster. Many people do not have this luxury as there bodies are heavy and cannot burn calories fast enough to lose weight. Even so, once you blue print your body, you will know exactly what to eat to help spring your metabolism into action.

Remember when you were younger and you could eat whatever you want and not gain any weight? This is because your metabolism burned faster when you were younger. Your metabolism also burned faster due to being active as a youth. However, in our daily lives as adults, we tend to have a sedentary lifestyles. Also, as we grow older, our metabolisms decrease and become slower.

Having an active lifestyle will increase your metabolism.. Inversely, people with sedentary lifestyles will have a difficult time burning calories as their bodies will think that it needs to store calories instead of burn energy. - 17269
