Answer
We’ve all wondered why some friends can eat a whole box of ice cream without gaining a single pound, while we feel our buttocks sink just by tasting a tiny teaspoon. The answer is simple; it’s because the speed of metabolism varies from person to person. Metabolism is the tiny engine in our bodies, tirelessly burning calories for us every day and hour, maintaining the normal operation of all parts of the body. Due to genetic factors or pathogenic causes, some women’s fat burning may be faster than others, but age, weight, diet, and exercise habits are also factors that cannot be ignored. As we age, the speed of our body’s metabolism decreases. Generally speaking, between the ages of 25 and 35, if you don’t engage in additional exercise, your body will consume 100 calories less each day. However, even so, we can still tap into the potential of our metabolism. Experts have provided methods to maintain and even accelerate the speed of our body’s metabolism, allowing you to easily lose more weight. You might be wondering: since we want to lose weight, why do we need to eat frequently? It does sound contradictory. But in fact, eating 5-6 times a day with small meals is more metabolically active than eating three large meals a day with a metabolic rate of 24 to 7. Moreover, this prevents excessive eating after long periods of hunger. The interval between meals should not exceed 4 hours, and make sure each meal includes protein to increase the metabolic rate. For example, you can start your morning with whole-grain cereals and fruits; have some yogurt and snacks like fruits in the morning; have a green vegetable salad with some chicken or fish for lunch; add a small snack like a banana and a slice of low-fat cheese between 3 and 4 PM; and try to keep your dinner light.
