Five Metabolism Myths
Myth #1: The body is able to easily burn fat and build muscle at the same time.
For anyone, except beginners and people using anabolic steroids, building muscle and burning fat at the same time is pretty tough. It is best to focus on one, then switch and deal with the other unless your schedule allows for it.
Myth #2: All you need to worry about is calories.
Hormones greatly influence how much we eat and what we eat, so they play a critical role in getting on track. Calories matter but they are far from the end all be all for dietary success and focusing only on calorie intake and outtake is the main downfall of the diet and fitness industry.
Myth #3: Hormones work in isolation and are either good or bad.
The metabolism uses hormones to send messages about how to function everywhere in the body. Hormones work together and their actions in cells are determined by the combo of hormones produced.
Myth #4: There is no good way to assess hormonal balance without blood tests.
Testing is definitely required to diagnose disease but biofeedback like tracking your hunger, energy, and cravings can give good info and indicate certain metabolic hormone activities.
Myth #5: The metabolisms of lean people and overweight people work the same way.
Overweight and obese people often have many hormonal imbalances that make it tough for them to control hunger, stop cravings, and feel motivated to get to the gym.
