What you don’t know about the human metabolism👇 After studying sports science at the best university for it in the UK and learning from some of the best professors in the world I can tell you this: The human metabolism is much more complicated than many people give it credit to be🤨 There are a few main variables which we can control regarding the metabolism and how we look. It’s very common for people to need to keep dropping their calories as they lose weight… why is that? 1. A smaller body will burn less calories at rest and in general 2. The metabolism ADAPTS to lower food intakes so it DOES actually slow down! 🍱 While I wouldn’t call it “starvation mode” as much… cause that’s way too extreme of a name for MOST people who’ll ever come across this post. However, it is true that our metabolism slows down. So the food intake that once helped you lose that fat… can now help accumulate it!😑 So where does the pizza tie into this equation? Well… what I do with my clients and myself is that we want to move efficiently! That means not getting fat when building muscle and not losing muscle when trimming fat mass❕ So in order to accomplish that we need the metabolism working for us, not against us. That can be done by accomplishing fat loss at the higher possible caloric intake… OR By accepting that the metabolism WILL inevitably slow down a *bit* but the *time saved* by moving faster will be worth it. And there’s also this concept of “diet breaks” which is both for physiology and psychology. The pizza and ice cream in Italy were all a part of that! The same way 2 weeks of holidays won’t make your physique substantially better, they won’t ruin it either. It’s what you do consistently that matters! For a customised plan DM me “start now” and I’ll see if you’re in a position where it’s appropriate for us to work together! Any questions feel free to ask in the DMs or comment!
