The human anatomy is nothing short of a miracle, and it is easy to see why some individuals devote their entire life to studying it. It is an extremely complicated organism in which BILLIONS of individual machine-like cells collaborate with each other, on a constant basis, to form a single living being that is capable of doing amazing things. Even more mind boggling is the fact that EACH cell in our body (remember there are billions)… EACH ONE has an internal system strung together by equally complex chemical and cellular corroborations.

If the human body is so complex, then what makes you think there are solutions to it’s problems that can be done with ease? Your metabolism is the series of chemical reactions responsible for turning your food into energy. If your metabolism is not as effective as it should be then the calories that your body consumes will be stored in fat cells, rather than converted into energy. Your metabolism is controlled by hormones that can be affected by a multitude of things, but that are mostly affected by your diet and stress levels.

In order to get your body working the way it was meant to work, it needs to have all of the essential vitamins and minerals needed to do so. To get your natural levels back to where they should be you should eat a diet that is high in nutrition, and drink lots of water (filtered). Our bodies are mostly made of water. Drinking lots of water will cleanse your system and promote well balanced hormones. Be careful not to drink too much water though because it can wash the nutrients out of your blood. While this is rare and takes A LOT of water to do, it should be noted that drinking absurd amounts of water is not the best thing to do. Anywhere from 7-20 glasses of water per day is a good amount to drink. If you drink 20 glasses or more make sure you eat enough nutrition that day to compensate for all of the liquids you are pumping into your blood stream.

Worse come to worse you will be urinating very frequently, the plus side is you’ll be fresh and clean on the inside. Another good tip is to get a colon cleanse. Those of you who don’t know what that is may be thinking “no way ..I don’t do enemas” . Don’t worry it’s not an enema, it’s just a juice that you drink that cleans out your system, that’s all. A colon cleanse alone can help you lose 10-15 pounds in a week, just by getting rid of all the gunk that has built up in your colon.

Your metabolism simply describes how well your body converts calories into energy. If your metabolism is slow then your body will store more calories and they will eventually be converted into fat cells. If your metabolism is fast then your body will convert more calories into usable energy. ALL diets center around speeding up the metabolism in order to help the body burn fat quickly. If your body stores most of the calories it consumes (slow metabolism) then you will have a much harder time trying to get rid of those calories before they show up in your belly fat.

Fortunate for you, a slow metabolism can be sped up at any given time, and you are not stuck with this “curse” in any way. Your metabolism is controlled by the bodies hormones, which are mostly controlled by your diet and stress levels. By changing your diet you can change the way your metabolism behaves and you can force your body to burn fat while you sleep. Another way to boost your metabolism is by exercising. This will build muscle. Muscle needs calories to sustain itself, therefore any calories that you consume are more likely to be converted into energy for your muscles. Even if you haven’t consumed any calories, your body will use the existing fat cells as energy, thereby burning fat without effort.

The key mistake with the low carb diets is that they are not considering how the metabolism works. If you cut your caloric intake by a certain amount, then your body automatically adjusts accordingly and it will limit it’s calorie conversion to that same degree. So if you start consuming only 1000 calories a day, then your body will start converting less than that automatically. There are no set amounts that your body chooses to convert, all reactions are relevant to what you do to cause the reaction. That’s why dieting with high nutrition and in many meals throughout the day works. By eating many small nutritional snacks throughout the day, instead of meals, you’ll be forcing your bodies metabolism to work overtime. Eventually after a short while this will boost your metabolism and help you lose weight.
