One thing on everyone’s minds is weight loss fitness. No one wants to be fat now. Here, metabolism plays an important role in weight loss. Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burn up the calories. Some people have a slow metabolism and therefore their weight loss is also slower while some have a fast metabolism which helps them in losing weight faster. For example, if your body needs two thousand calories a day and you burn out the same number of calories, your weight will remain the same whereas if you burn out more than the two thousand calories you will lose weight. However, if you burn lesser number of calories, you will gain weight.

If you have considerably slow metabolism, there are ways which can help you speed it up and increase your weight loss fitness. For this you should know what determines your metabolism rate and what techniques can you use to influence the same. Calories are burnt to provide energy for three main things:-

i. for activity
ii. basal metabolic rate which is the number of calories burnt by just being in existence
iii. calories burnt while eating, absorbing and digesting food.

You can make a start by having those foods for breakfast which you have never eaten. Do this three times a week. Eat green vegetables instead of fried meat and exercise.

If you feel hungry in between, have a fruit and not chips.
