How does Human Metabolism Work? - Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
-This is the amount of calories needed to run all essential functions and chemical reactions while in a rested and quiet state. RMR is
the largest part of total metabolism and accounts for 65 - 75% of calories burned in a day.
-If lean weight is lost from the body through increased protein metabolism the RMR decreases. This often
happens when people go on a strict diet, the body is forced into what's known as a "negative nitrogen balance" which means more protein is lost than what is replaced due to less protein/energy intake
. This imbalance causes a gradual loss in lean weight thus lowering the RMR.
-Many dieters limit the amount of lean weight loss with some type of intense exercise in order for muscles to develop a

Increasing the metabolism is the fastest way to permanent weight loss, a lowered metabolism is very often the reason weight loss progress grinds to a sudden halt. When weight loss slows a dieter may r
educe food intake further, however progress is still slow because a net loss of protein continues to lower the metabolism.

What is the 'average' person's Basal Metabolic Rate (Metabolism) ?
-As a very rough guide, the average person's BMR is about half a calorie per pound of body weight, per hour. So, if you weigh 140
pounds you will use up approximately 70 calories an hour or 1680 calories per day doing nothing.

Even if more exercise is undertaken a net loss of protein can occur if calorie intake is low.
-Remember dieters reduce their calorie intake but exercise uses extra carbs so the body must breakdown
extra protein to convert into carbohydrates. More carbs are needed because a less fit individual often has an untrained cardiovascular system and cannot supply enough oxygen for cells to burn fat for
energy during the exercise. Also if no exercise is performed the body has no need to use extra body fat because so little energy is required when inactive.
-Exercise can increase metabolism but the
trick for the unfit person is to perform the correct exercise and not cut calories too much too soon. To lose FAT weight fast the best way is to prepare the body by increasing the metabolism BEFORE c

From the viewpoint of diet and weight loss, metabolism is the process whereby the body converts food into energy (or uses it for bodily repairs) or stores it as fat for future use. In simple terms, if
we have a faster metabolism we burn calories more efficiently and store less fat. If we have a slower metabolism we burn calories less efficiently and therefore store more calories as fat. In very si
mple terms, our Metabolic Rate is the rate (and efficiency) with which our body performs these metabolic tasks.
