Why is METABOLISM important?

I know many of you think that Metabolism is a buzz word or an excuse as to why you can't lose weight. I have heard people say, "It doesn't matter how much I exercise and eat because I have a slow Metabolism."

I want to tell you this is not true!!!!!! Bearing that you have no "abnormal" conditions like hypothyroidism, you can change your metabolism. It is never to late. In short, Metabolism means the rate at which your body burns calories. Your Metabolism is determined by the combination of hormones, molecules and all the cell messenger chemicals in your body. Metabolic pathways can either be Catabolic (Breaking down & Fat storage) or Anabolic (Building Up and Repair). We need both pathways but we need the correct balance between the two.

Things such as STRESS, Dieting, Processed Foods, Toxins and Chemicals, and Sleep can actually alter your Metabolic Rate. For instance, constant dieting, CRAP diet and calorie deficiencies can actually SLOW down your Metabolism. The less you eat, the slower your metabolism must work because there is no food to digest.

Stress and high Cortisol levels (especially relative to DHEA) can cause your body to hold on to a "tire of fat" around your middle. When you are continually on the go- you set your body up for the constant "fight ot flight" reaction that was only designed to be an emergency system in our bodies.

The fake food is also dangerous to you. Many of the chemicals added to our foods and the plastics and cookware we use can actually alter our hormones in a dangerous way.

Try to follow these few tips and see if you FEEl and SEE Changes in your body and your mood.
1. Remove all fake/processed foods form your kitchen. In other words, get rid of all the ANTINUTRIENTS

2. Add back as many whole, grown and real foods that you were designed to eat. These are the food groups that will help you to restore your FAT BURNING hormones and shut down your FAT STORING Hormones.

3. Eat at Regular Intervals and Learn what portion of food give you energy instead of lethargy.

4. Rebalance your body with the missing Nutrients you are still missing.

5. Reign in the Stress. learn to rebalance your life and find ways for Stress release that work for you. (Try walking, journaling, yoga, exercise, sleep, dance, nature, planting a garden, music or finding more ME time for yourself.)

Tip of the day:
Your health has been stolen form you by Big Pharma and the Food Giants. Take it back with clean food, sleep, exercise and local farmers. Know what you are eating and be able to pronounce every ingredient you put into your mouth.

You can even test your hormone levels with simple saliva tests.
