Energy flux: The key to boosting your metabolic rate and losing
fat faster...
As a rule of thumb, the more muscle you have, the higher your basal
metabolic rate. However, many people don't realize that muscle mass
is not the only thing that affects your basal metabolic rate.
A little-known concept called energy flux also plays a vital
role in determining how many calories you burn each day, and, as
a result, the rate at which you lose weight.
Metabolic rate
As they age, people are generally less physically active. The result
is that they burn fewer calories each day. Unless they eat less
to compensate for this reduction in calorie expenditure, weight
gain is the inevitable result.
It's also true that your basal metabolic rate — the
number of calories your body burns each day just to stay alive —
tends to drop as you age. According to conventional wisdom, this
is because you lose a small amount of muscle each year.
However, studies show that your metabolic rate declines with age
independently of muscle loss. In other words, young physically
active men tend to have a higher metabolic rate than their older
counterparts, even if they have the same amount of muscle.
The age-related decline in metabolic rate — even when muscle
mass is taken into account — is down to...
