The word metabolism refers to how much energy your body uses, or how many calories you burn in a day. A starting point to measure your metabolism is calculating BMR (basal metabolic rate), which measures how many calories you burn at rest. First, let's do a quick review of Metabolism. To lose weight, you want to increase your total calorie burn, which scientists call TEE (total energy expenditure). To raise your TEE, you need to increase one or more of its four key parts: BMR, TEF, PAE E, and EPOC. Let me say right up front that I’m a big fan of strength training. Muscle is sleek and sexy, and I wish I had more. Muscle is also functional; it helps you do stuff. More muscle can help you run faster, for example, or slow down the nasty effects of aging, or get you an invite every time one of your friends needs to move heavy furniture. Your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is essentially the calories you burn at rest. Also called resting energy expenditure, your BMR is important because it makes up a large percentage of total calorie burn, but unfortunately you can't do much about it. Your BMR is mostly determined by your genetic makeup and body weight. The thermic effect of feeding (TEF) is otherwise known as the energy your body expends while digesting food. The TEF is generally about 10 percent of your daily calorie burn, and can be nudged a little by eating multiple small meals, drinking more stimulant beverages (like coffee, tea, or Red Bull), consuming more chile peppers, and eating more protein. Your physical-activity energy expenditure, or PAEE, is the sum total of your workouts, plus other activities like walking the dog, “We don’t have to be victims of our ‘slow’ metabolism.

It can be anything from zero to a substantial number, depending on whether you’re more enamored of your sofa or your running shoes. Your PAEE is the most important part of your daily calorie burn, because you can actually do something about it. The excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) of your workout is also known as the “afterburn,” that is, the extra calories you burn after exercise. It will be zero if you don’t work out, and a smallish number if you do. Anyhow back to the article. I see often commercial selling pills how to increase your metabolism .I was so suprise how company’s speak to sell their products. Not only the term is misued , but as i have said is manipulated to sell your products and you buying it. When people take pills to pump up the metabolism without hitting it hard in the gym, they are efectively abusing such pills and are puttign their At the top of the list, HIIT(High Intensity Training). Big fan of crossfit, high intensity training perfect to shred down and build an aesthetic physique while others dont think like that. Regular cardio raises your BMR while doing it, once it finished your metabolism returns to its regular state. HIIT burns extra calories up to 48h later. Why?Your body is strained and in needs extra time to recover. So what you will do next? 2. Lift Weights Lifting weights raises your metabolism long after you are finished-experts estimate your metaoblism stays elevated for up to 39hours. Again, this is lifting stains your body so much, that it needs extra time to recover. There are tons of lifting plans in the internet and feel free to start one if you ever want to shred down that 78% body fat you carry around The thermogenic effect of food(TEF) is a measure of energy that your body needs to digest food. Protein is harder for your body to digest and thus takes more energy than does fat or carbs. The TEF of protein is 25%, meaning 25% of the calories of each gram of protein is burned off through digestion, whereas the TEF of carbohydrates is 5%, and is only 2% for fats. 3. Build Muscle / eat protein 4. drink water You cant lose fat or build BMr if you dont have muscle . Its beneficial to your metabolism to be muscular. You can’t convert fat to muscle are two different tissues. Some experts estimate that each extra pound of muscle you gain burns 30-50 extra calories a day, while others estimate that a pound of muscle burns 6 calories at rest, compared to 2 calories burned by a pound of fat. Plus add protein in your nutrition, it fills you up. Did you know that protein has a greater thermogenic effect that the other macronutrients? Water is paramount to developing a lean, healthy physique. Not only is it a vehicle for flushing fat from your system, but it's also crucial for your bodies messaging system to fire correctly. And drinking water can actually raise your metabolism. Being dehydrated can cause cravings, and tricks your mind into thinking you're hungry, rather than thirsty. Staying hydrated keeps your body balanced, and helps you become more in tune with your internal senses of need. Over a year, drinking an extra 1.5 liters a day burns around 17,400 calories, which adds up to about five pounds. While five pounds a year may sound like only a little amount, this adds up to 25 pounds in five years, or 50 pounds in 10 years! The moral of the story is: drink more water. And if you train hard in the gym, drink even more. 18 Issue 4 | Mag. CyFitness
