Meal Replacement Diets Cause Serious Health Damage, Slow Metabolism And Just Dont Work.

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- “A slower metabolic rate means it is harder to burn body fat with the reverse being true that the faster your metabolism the easier it is to burn body fat,” said Mr Adam Brown, Director My Life Health.
“The problem is that we are being educated through popular advertising that the best weight loss programme is to eat less.
Adam Brown goes on to say “This is incredibly irresponsible, misleading and dangerous. The best weight loss processes revolve around understanding your metabolism and ways to increase your metabolic rate particularly when you are resting.
Resting Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy (Kcal/day) consumed to maintain the basic vital functions while resting.  It’s the most important index for the definition of a personalised weight management program because it represents, in sedentary people, often 65-80% of total energy expenditure.
“Healthy weight loss involves developing lean muscle and increasing your metabolic rate.
“What people do not understand is that everyone’s metabolic rate is unique to them,” he said.
“The best way to increase your metabolic rate is exercise.  Particularly resistance and strength related training.  The more lean muscle you have, the faster your metabolic rate will become, the more body fat you will lose,” Brown stated.
“Mr Brown said, “The key to effective weight loss is first to understand your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and to avoid the temptation to crash diet, as that can lower your RMR, which means you lose  muscle mass not just body fat. Lose muscle mass and you can slow your RMR”  Increasing lean muscle is extremely important for a healthy life.  A high protein diet is one of the keys.  Protein supplements used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise can also build your lean muscle.
A calculated metabolic rate formula based on weight is often used to work out your RMR however this is not always accurate as each person’s metabolism is unique to them so a simple formula can be misleading and an inaccurate way to calculate metabolic rate.  You can have your RMR assessed in 15 minutes with a Fitmate metabolic device,” said Mr Adam Brown, Director My Life Health.
