I'm at loss, I have no idea how to get my metabolism going to burn the fat and carbs. is here any advice on this?

I was hoping for some answers. thanks in Advance.

Well, do sports.

 

The body won't start burning his fat until it actually needs to tap into those energy reserves, so the good old trick is simply force your body to use up lots of energy. It also has the added benefit to increase fitness.

 

As for how to most efficiently do that: swim. The butterfly stroke technique in particular excercises pretty much everything. Just hit the next public bath and swim a couple rounds. Do that regularily and you'll be fit in no-time.

 

 

 

As an aside:

Don't do diets. The body is not stupid. If you force energy shortages not by physical exhaustion but malnutrition, the body will tap into your muscles weaves rather than your fat, for two reasons. First, muscle is easier to break down and turn into energy than fat and secondly, your body is not stupid and will get its energy reserves from somewhere that's not needed. In case of doing diets and no sports, that's the muscles. You aren't using them much after all and the fat is better served maintaining as a longterm insurance.

 

The human body really likes its fat reserves.

There aren't really any metabolism tricks from people who aren't trying to sell you something. Regular exercise will increase your basal metabolism a bit in addition to the energy you burn directly. Intense fasting will lower your metabolism so it can be counterproductive to do that.
 
What are you trying to achieve exactly?

 I'm trying to lose some bit of weight I was 210 back then I'm probably at 250 at least.

Well, do sports.

Burn more calories than you ingest

Regular exercise + healthier eating habits. It gets suggested repeatedly because it works and is more sustainable than a short-term diet.

exercise,take up a sport

[Battlebloodmage]

Diet does work, as long as you do exercise as well. I would recommend build up some muscles since it requires more energy to maintain muscles than fat. The catch 22 is you need to lose weight first since it's pretty hard, next to impossible to lose fat and gain muscles at the same time. Carbohydrate and sugar are not as important during a cut as during a bulk, so you shouldn't cut it out completely since if you do cardio to lose weight, you actually need carbohydrate as reserve energy, so it doesn't burn your muscle instead. Basically, some carbohydrates from vegetables and certain fruits (My personal favorites are banana and apple), or eat brown rice instead of white rice. Eat more lean protein like chicken and eggs (Eggs don't give you high blood pressure, it gives you the good cholesterol to balance out the bad ones, so doesn't affect your LDL) and take up cardio. Sport is good, but just running in a treadmill or some running outside work just as well. It's up to you, but eat clean and do cardio, pick up some weights, even if you don't want to get bulky, it's good to tone your body either way.

Keep busy. Small mels and snacks and thru out the day along with bits of real exercise.

 

You just have to make it fit your life.

I actually do weights a day, 10 reps each. but on some days, I go for 20 reps.

yeah your reply is so much more informative. I'm a pre-med studying to be a doctor, and I lost 10 pound each month personally. I think I know my s better than you.

 that's actually insulting to me. referring to me as he/she. I'm She. please refer to me as such.
 

how much do you lift bro

I lift 10 tons (2.5) each sometimes I add few such as 20 tons (6.5) to lift. they're pretty demanding for my physical strength but it helps builds my muscles a bit.

Well in the end it's up to you but I personally lost 10-15 pound each month depending on how much I want to lose. I'm just giving you my method.

If I recall, nutrition and physical fitness are not really covered by the pre-medical curriculum. A good, humbling perspective is in order.

At least at my University, they offer biochemistry metabolism and lower division nutrient classes. They touch upon it and go over why certain stuffs are bad like sweetener or why red wine theoretically can prolong your life. I'm a bio major so it's just some of the classes I'm taking to fulfill my requirements.

[Battlebloodmage]

Double post sorry.

[the_last_krogan]

bro just copy everything you see in this video

every morning you get up play some late 90's early 00's techno dance and old samoa songs and exercise

do it every day for about 2 weeks and you'll get better abs than me bro

[Dr.Fumbles]

I am not really sure what to tell you. Other then eat healthy and work out.

Well, you don't really get much street cred for saying "I'm a pre-med trying to be doctor." You're still pre-med, emphasis on the prefix. I'm not trying to put you down. I have two Bachelors degrees in biology and nursing, and I've studied biochemistry and bits of nutrition. All that information may or may not be worth jack ****, and I'm old enough to say I don't have the experience in providing clinical teaching on nutrition (well, at least, not yet). So, I guess my advice is don't let what you're studying believe you to think you know better. I'm glad you know stuff. But, you will realize, on the undergrad level, you don't know ****.
