Introduction
Metabolism
In the simplest terms, metabolism is the process through which the food items you eat or drink are converted into energy. This process basically consists of multiple chemical reactions which help in breaking down the original food particles. It is a complicated biochemical method which we, as well as other living beings, require to continue survival.
Our body performs a large array of crucial functions on a daily basis which we often dont pay any attention to. Such functions include breathing, blood circulation, growing cells and adjusting hormonal levels. They continue to perform even when we are sleeping. As a result, each of them demands a significant amount of energy that can be received from food.
Calories we intake are converted to energy by the metabolism process so that we can stay alive. The rate at which our body actively burns calories is called the metabolic rate, while the rate at which it burns calories at rest is called the basal metabolic rate or BMR. The design of your metabolism reset regimen will depend quite a lot on this BMR.
There is an ideal BMR for every human. This number depends on the size, gender, age, body temperature and hormonal production of that human. You can either determine your ideal BMR through a lab test or use the Harris-Benedict Equation for it. This equation applies to men and women differently as follows:
Mens BMR = 88.362 + (12.397 x weight in kg) + (4.8 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age in years)
Womens BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.33 x age in years)
These are the factors which are not usually in our control. Therefore, we must focus on the other two factors contributing to our metabolic rate - exercises and food intake. By taking the right nutrients in the right amount and investing time in daily physical activities, one can attain a much higher metabolic rate. For example, drinking caffeine can function as a stimulant in increasing metabolism.
Along with converting food to energy, metabolism also helps to build blocks of several crucial components (like protein, nucleic acid, lipid, etc.) and to get rid of nitrogenous wastes.
What is the metabolism reset diet?
One of the main reasons we are even talking about metabolism is its potential effect on weight loss. It is a common belief that people who have a fast metabolism can digest and process the food faster. As a result, their body tends to prevent excess calories from staying in the body.
However, the reality is that you can blame metabolism to a small extent when it comes to weight gain or loss. Metabolism is only responsible for regulating the breakdown of nutrient chemicals in your body to result in required energy.
The actual process of gaining or losing body weight is much more complex than just resetting metabolism. You need the right dietary habits, sleep cycle, exercise routine, hormonal controls, genetic composition and low stress level to reach the optimum weight effectively. The one aspect you should control is not eating more calories than your body can burn, because this is precisely what leads to unnecessary weight gain.
If you have figured out how to incorporate these factors into your weight loss mission, you can rely on the metabolism reset diet to work properly. You can use this diet to increase the metabolic rate of your body and thus make it burn more calories. It greatly helps with repairing the liver, optimizing thyroid and avoiding fat storage in your body.
This diet plan focuses on fruits, dairy and whole grain Ingredients to boost metabolism. You can follow it for 1 or 2 months according to your individual requirements.
Where do I have to pay attention?
Along with taking the right food on a daily basis, you also need to focus on other factors to drive the metabolic rate higher. You must commit to the following for the 30 days of your diet for it to work effectively:
Physical Activities
High metabolism is usually the result of many aspects out of our control like gender, age and genetic code. However, we can bring significant changes to our bodys metabolic rate by investing long hours of rigorous exercises.
Muscle cells help in burning calories more efficiently than fat cells. When your workout session is over and your body has stopped sweating, these cells still stay in action to break down calories. The older people require to do more exercises since the muscle mass starts to decrease with age. As a result, the metabolism process also slows down with growing age. Daily physical activities can prevent this downfall.
Aerobic exercises like Zumba help the most in burning calories. You can make it even more efficient by switching between the intensity levels. Mix up the different exercise forms to take advantage of the switch. For instance, do jumping jacks for 1 minute and then walk for a couple of minutes. Feel free to take intervals in order to reach your maximum potential. You can also lift weights twice a week.
Drinking Water
Keeping your body hydrated can increase its metabolism. Both hydration and metabolism are crucial to our survival. These two processes help to reach and maintain the optimum efficiency of your body. Hydration helps in restoring glucose transport and increasing their insulin sensitivity. If your body is lacking in water, it will slow down your metabolism and thus burn less calories. As a result, more fat will get the chance to stay increasing your overall weight.
Replace the usual soft drinks you take with cold water. Drinking half a liter of water will lift up your basal metabolic rate by up to 30% for one hour. Most dieticians recommend drinking cold water instead of hot water since it functions as a catalyst in burning lot of energy. The cold water is transformed into hot water using the reserved energy.
Water can help in keeping the weight off by making you feel full. Drink half a liter glass of water 30 minutes before eating and you will tend to consume less than usual. Adult subjects of a 2009 study successfully lost 44% more weight by drinking water this way.
Sleep Cycle
It is essential to get a sound uninterrupted sleep every night. In order to regulate metabolism, sleep is extremely important for mammalians like humans. Our sleep has two distinct stages called REM and non-REM. The latter phase of sleep carries great value in maintaining metabolism.
The two main processes of metabolism are anabolism and catabolism. The first helps in building molecules while the latter breaks them down. Both of these processes function more efficiently during the non-REM sleep phase. This helps the body overcome the metabolic damages which occurred during their awake hours.
Not getting enough sleep will cause your metabolism to be unbalanced and enforce your body to crave for more carbohydrates. As a result, you can gain more weight. A 2011 study by Matthew Walker has shown that in the last six decades, the average number of sleeping hours has decreased, causing a rise of 10% to 23% in obesity.
