Its that true that Metabolism is the key factor to weight loss ? If that true, how can your speed up your metabolic rate ? to the point that all foods you eat are totally converting to energy.

Metabolism is easily described as energy conversion, that is, what you eat, can be converted to energy. Why your cell need this energy ?

1. Muscles Mass – its was shown that people with higher lean body mass, with muscles like “Malek Nor” require more calories, rather than people with fat body mass. Muscles need more energies to function, that why people with more muscle have higher BMR. Strength and resistance training are the best way to build up your muscle, so everyone call you “ABAM SADO”. Fat in your body require less calories to function, that make your BMR go slowly.
