Metabolism
Hello readers. Today i am gonna talk about Metabolism. Well i have done some research about it. Why? Because i want to know how to gain weight. I really am serious about it. You may think i 'love' being skinny. You are W-R-O-N-G. I want to be average. The research i had done, i will try on myself and see how it goes. :) * You, readers can try also. Who wanna loose weight or like me, who wanna gain weight. :) * How to gain weight? * Step 1: You need to decrease your metabolism by eating less often. If you only eat once or twice a day (like skipping breakfast and only eating lunch and dinner), your body goes into panic mode. Since it has been so long since your last meal, your body's metabolism slows down and stores (not burns) your meal to last through your next round of starvation. * Step 2: Make sure your (few) meals are not balanced. Perhaps one meal will be mostly proteins while the next is mostly carbs. Eating sugary foods which have no nutritional content will deprive your body of the necessary vitamins and minerals sending your body into panic mode (like step 1) and causing your metabolism to slow. * Step 3: Drink less water and make sure it is at room temperature (or slightly higher). By dehydrating yourself, your body goes into panic mode (similar to step 1) and hoards water slowing your metabolism. By drinking warm water, your body does not have to try to warm the water itself keeping your metabolism low. In addition, by keeping yourself in a warm environment (a well heated room or by wearing insulated clothing), your body doesn't have to work to warm you up, also keeping your metabolism down. * Step 4: To decrease your metabolism, don't move. Not even an inch. The less you move, your muscle mass will decrease and your metabolism will fall. * Who wanna loose weight? * Step 1: One of the best ideas you can do to increase your metabolism is to eat! Your body's metabolism is increased the most the first hour after you finish eating. By eating smaller meals more frequently (about 6 mini-meals a day), you can keep your metabolism burning high throughout the day. * Step 2: When you are eating, be sure to eat healthy, balanced meals to increase your metabolism. Your body needs fats, carbohydrates, and proteins to perform all the functions it needs. Proteins have also been shown to take longer to digest, causing your metabolism to remain higher for longer after meals. A balanced meal will also help you to maintain all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. A daily multi-vitamin can also help you, but should not be a substitute for healthy eating. * Step 3: Another great idea to increase metabolism is to drink cold water (and lots of it -- 6 to 8 glasses a day). Your body cannot process cold water and first needs to raise it to body temperature. While the water is being heated by your body, your metabolism is working to do so. In addition, being well hydrated allows your liver to process other foods instead of retaining water. * Step 4: If you can increase your muscle mass, you will naturally increase your metabolism. A great way to do this is through strength training. High repetition with low weights or low resistance will help you tone and build your muscles without looking like a body builder. * It is simply the longest entry in this blog. But, it is worth reading. Thank you for reading. * And btw. I will be trying these steps out. Hopefully i will gain till 45kg. My ideal weight. Haish. Good Luck to me lor. :) * Hidayah signing out |
