The Mayo Clinic (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.com\">www.mayoclinic.com<\/a>) states that: \u201cmetabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into <em>energy<\/em>. During this complex biochemical process, calories in food and beverages are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Even when slothing on the sofa, your body needs energy to breathe, circulate blood, adjust hormone levels and grow and repair cells.<\/p>\n<p>The Mayo Clinic goes on to say that the number of calories your body uses to carry out these basic functions is known as your basal metabolic rate \u2014 or your metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>Several factors determine your individual basal metabolism, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your body size and composition.<\/strong>People who are larger or have more muscle burn more calories, even at rest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your sex.<\/strong>Men usually have less body fat and more muscle than do women of the same age and weight, which means men burn more calories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your age.<\/strong>As you get older, the amount of muscle tends to decrease and fat accounts for more of your weight, slowing down calorie burning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But before you blame a slow basal metabolic rate on weight gain, think again.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21667&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The clinic also reports (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/metabolism\/art-20046508\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/metabolism\/art-20046508<\/a>) that metabolism is linked to weight, \u201cbut contrary to common belief, a slow metabolism is rarely the cause of excess weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough your metabolism influences your body&#8217;s basic energy needs, how much you eat and drink along with how much physical activity you get are the things that ultimately determine your weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only in rare cases do you get excessive weight gain from a medical problem that slows metabolism, such as Cushing&#8217;s syndrome or having an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, your weight gains or losses are complicated, with experts agreeing that it&#8217;s likely a blend of genes, hormones, diet and environmental impacts, such as lifestyle choices, including sleep, physical activity and stress.<\/p>\n<p>But essentially, you gain weight when you eat more calories than you burn \u2014 or burn fewer calories than you eat, regardless of your basal metabolic rate at the start.<\/p>\n<p>So back to basics. To lose weight, you need to output more energy than you intake. To maintain weight, stick with a regular programme of watching your energy input and output and factoring in lifestyle choices. For example, if you don\u2019t get a lot of sleep and snack into the night, you will likely put on weight. Your metabolism will be affected, but is not the guilty party.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a rule of thumb, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends cutting calories by 500 to 700 calories a day to lose 1 to 1.5 pounds (0.5 to 0.7 kilograms) a week. Add in more movement and the results should see you soon forgetting all about metabolism.<\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s not too late to join our <\/em><em>Post Holiday Renewal Package. <\/em><em>12 Metabolic Rate Boosting Classes only $2750. <\/em><em>Runs until<\/em><em> 28 February<\/em><em>,<\/em><em> 2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em>Classes include Pilates Allegro\/TRX\u00ae, Ab Blast, Fat Burn Level 2, BLT Pilates, Xtend Barre\u00ae, TRX\u00ae Circuit, FLEXtreme Sweat\/ HIIT, Power Antigravity\u00ae Absolute Abs And Suspension Fitness.\u00a0<\/em><em>See more at: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/promotions\/\"><em>https:\/\/flexhk.com\/promotions\/<\/em><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who would think the humble hummingbird would factor into a weight loss scenario.
