3 Metabolism & Fat Burn Myths.

5 Oct 2017

Myth 1: Eating 5 Small Meals Per Day Helps Speed Up Your Metabolism.

Truth: Quality of food is important but just as important as the total calories that are consumed through eating and drinking. There is no significant difference between eating 5 meals vs any other meal frequency. Find the pattern that works best for you as this will allow you to sustain results.

Myth 2: Your Metabolism Slows Down As You Get Older.

Truth: As people get older they generally move less. Less activity requires less calories. Alongside this older people, especially from 50 years + will see a decline of muscle mass. Lift weights!

Myth 3: Running Is The Best Way To Burn Fat.

Truth: Lifting weights will build muscle mass. Having more muscle mass will lead to much greater metabolic output as more energy is being used to support your muscles. This will utilise body fat stores for energy giving you the fat burning results that you are looking for.
