Your Increased Body Weight - Who is the Culprit You or Your Metabolism

 

What is metabolism?

We might have seen people who eats a lot and still doesn’t have any weight gain for months (Friends and family members do suggest them medicines for weight gain). On the contrary we also might have seen people who eat too less but gains weight month on month (Friends and family members do suggest them medicines for weight loss and preach them about benefit of workout). You have understood it right. Yes that’s body metabolism who is the culprit behind such conditions. In simple words, it’s a body mechanism by which our body turns calories into energy. A good metabolism allows you to eat all kind of high cholesterol foods like cheese burst pizza or double cheese burger at your favorite QSR and you won’t allow you to gain weight. Whereas slow metabolism could lead to excessive weight gain without much intake of calories or fat. So we will be discussing today about slow metabolism, which is leading to many dieses.
