Why can some people eat
anything and not gain weight?
Because they have naturally faster metabolisms.
This means they burn up calories at a faster rate than normal.
Why do they have faster
metabolisms?
We don't know, exactly. It may be due to hormones or genetics.
How can I speed up my own
metabolism?
The only effective way to speed up your metabolism is to take regular
exercise.
The harder you work, the faster your metabolic rate.
Will pills help?
Absolutely not!
Warning!
Many pills that claim to be able to boost your metabolism are either
TOTALLY USELESS or DANGEROUS or both.
Dangerous side-effects
In America, some over-the-counter weight loss supplements contain thyroid
extract from animals, or other substances that (supposedly) act like human
thyroid hormones to speed up metabolism.
Reported side-effects of these
products include:
- Nervousness and tremors
- Bulging eyes
- Racing heart beat
- Diarrhea
- Excessive sweating
- And worse!
Conclusion
If you want to lose weight, choose the best
diet and take regular exercise.
