The 1 Killer Mistake That Will Keep You Struggling To Lose Weight FOREVER! (Do You Do This?)
Increasing your activity level and Bio Melt Pro Reviewdecreasing your caloric intake can cause too big of a difference between the number of calories you are consuming and the number of calories your body needs to function throughout the day. If this happens, your body won't convert more fat into energy to meet this demand, but will instead try to decrease the number of calories it expends, which is accomplished by slowing down your metabolism.
If your metabolism slows down, it completely changes things when it comes to statements like, burning 500 additional calories per day for a week results in one pound of fat loss. Unless you are Michael Phelps or another elite athlete who trains for hours every day, your metabolism is responsible for the vast majority of your calorie burning, so any decrease in your metabolism will severely hamper your ability to lose fat. In other words, if metabolic changes are not considered in calorie burning and fat loss equations, they could be far from accurate.
It is also important to note that the burn X number of calories to lose X amount of fat equations have one other major oversight. They assume that every calorie you lose is a calorie of fat, but when you increase your activity level, many of the calories burned are from carbohydrates and some can even be from protein (muscle). The physiological mechanisms behind this are beyond the scope of this article, but this is another example of why burning extra calories does not necessarily translate into fat or weight loss.
