The 5 Biggest Myths About Metabolism
1. Skinnier individuals have a higher metabolism.
2. Skipping a meal slows down your metabolism.
3. Everything eaten late-night turns to fat
4. Metabolism is all about burning calories and breaking things down.
5. You have no control over your metabolism.

Truth: Simple dietary modifications and exercise habits can make a big difference in how fast someone burns calories at rest.

Which of the above myths fooled you and which make total sense?

 

Knew them all for the most part, except #4

You may want to explain what is wrong with the myths, and what the truth is, instead of just stating this. Regardless, always good to learn a bit of knowledge

 

How can you say #5 and then literally follow that up with a point that counters what you've stated?

 

Yes, because we often confusion between facts or fiction

 

I read in a magazine,
A source of confusion for some and a scapegoat for extra weight around the midsection for others, metabolism has long been a topic of hot conversation. Without it, we would lack the energy to get out of bed in the morning, let alone burn calories all day long. However, even with its numerous benefits, metabolism often gets the brunt of the blame with weight gain. With all of the fad diets and special tricks meant to speed up one’s metabolism (hot sauce anyone?), the facts often get blurred with fiction ..

 

This Solution
Myth and truth :

Myth #1: Skinnier individuals have a higher metabolism.
Truth: While body size does factor in, body composition has a far greater effect on metabolism

Myth #2: Skipping a meal slows down your metabolism.
Truth: Quality and quantity of foods have greater bearing on metabolism than how often you eat.

Myth #3: Everything eaten late-night turns to fat.
Truth: If you’re taking in the right types of calories, eating later at night shouldn’t derail your diet.

Myth #4: Metabolism is all about burning calories and breaking things down.
Truth: Metabolism consists of both breaking things down and building things up; both are vital to our health

Myth #5: You have no control over your metabolism.
Truth: Simple dietary modifications and exercise habits can make a big difference in how fast someone burns calories at rest.
