Why Some People Gain Weight & Others Don't

The
answer can be summed up in one word: Metabolism.

Although
metabolism collectively refers to all of the chemical processes that occur
in your body, the biggest concern for most is the part of metabolism that
determines how your body produces and uses energy.

Because
of course, this is a big factor in determining your “girth” and
your level of energy (or lack thereof) during the day.

Let’s
take a closer look at what metabolism really is, as well as some ways that
you can beef yours up and reap the benefits.
 

Metabolism 101 –
it’s like a symphony

ALL
your body’s processes and functions, including digestion, circulation,
breathing, thinking and even reading this email are the result of a
“symphony” of chemical reactions, collectively known as
metabolism.

This
symphony has two main parts — anabolism and catabolism.

Anabolism
is the process where little parts are put together to make something
bigger, such as new tissue growth. Anabolism uses up energy.

Catabolism,
on the other hand, is where bigger things are broken down into smaller
pieces, like your foods being digested and nutrients being absorbed.
Catabolism creates and releases energy.

And
functioning as the main “orchestra conductor” making sure
everything is coordinated and carried out like it should be is the job of
your body’s 3,000+ enzymes.
 

Burn baby, burn

Before
your body can use energy, it must be created and released…and a key
player in this formula is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

What
happens is this: Following digestion of your food, your cells take in the
nutrients that have been absorbed through the intestinal tract.

Inside
the cells, the nutrients are sorted and assembled into molecules of ATP.
Energy is stored in the bonds between the atoms of ATP in your cells.

When
energy is needed, enzymes come on the scene, break apart the ATP bonds and
release the stored energy.
 

How much do you need?

Most
people think of energy needs in terms of what they need for exercise,
running errands or doing their job.

That’s
true, but your body also uses up energy when you’re doing NOTHING at all!

You
see, your body is also burning energy when you are sitting still or
sleeping. Because even when you’re not moving, your body is still keeping
your heart beating, your lungs breathing and your cells in good repair, for
example, and all of these processes require energy.

The
primary measure of basic bodily energy needs–what you need just to carry
out bodily functions while you are not moving–is your basal metabolic
rate, or BMR.

It’s
expressed in terms of calories per hour and it’s determined as follows:

Men: The hourly BMR
is their weight in kilograms. To convert pounds to kilograms, divide weight
in pounds by 2.2.

For
example, let’s say Bill weighs 195 pounds. His weight in kilograms is about
89 kg. (195 / 2.2). So Bill burns about 89 calories an hour just staying
alive.

Women: We’re a bit
different, ladies. Our BMR is calculated by multiplying our weight in
kilograms by 0.9.

For
example, Susan weighs 130 pounds. Her weight in kilograms is 59 kg (130 /
2.2). 59 X 0.9 = 53. So Susan burns about 53 calories an hour being alive.
 

Burn baby, burn

As
you can probably surmise, any excess energy that you consume over your
daily needs that is not burned up in other activities becomes and stays a
part of YOU. (And you get larger as a result.)

Note
that ANY type of movement–walking across the room, typing on a keyboard or
scratching an itch–increases your daily energy expenditure. The more
effort required, the more energy you burn.

Even
a few seconds of very intense activity can greatly shoot up your energy
output. The reason for this is that your muscles make up nearly half of
your body’s mass–so when they get moving, they consume a good proportion
of energy.

That’s
why exercise is so vital and creates so many health benefits. And get
this–the benefits continue long after your workout is over!

That’s
right–exercise raises your metabolic rate, not just during your workout
but for several hours afterwards!

How
many more calories you burn is a reflection of the type of activity you
do–the more intense your chosen form of exercise, the longer the burn will
continue.

For
example, a light workout may help you burn another 10 calories after you’re
done. But a more moderate workout can use up another 35 calories, and a
strenuous one can keep you burning up to 180 more calories!

Here
are some examples of energy expenditures for different activities in terms
of calories per hour burned:

So
clearly, the more intense activities like swimming and jogging are more
likely to keep your furnace burning longer afterward.
 

How to fine-tune your
metabolism

Many
things can affect your metabolism including the following:

- Your proportion of muscle
vs. fat (muscle burns more energy)
– Age (as we age, our metabolism slows)
– Genetics (slower metabolism can run in some families)
– Illness
– Medications

But
far and away, the three single biggest factors affecting your metabolism
are:

1- Your diet
2- Your enzyme level
3- Your B12 level

Here’s
how you can fine-tune those three important factors in your metabolism to
keep it strong and healthy (and YOU energized and at a normal body weight):

Metabolism Strategy
#1: Get nutrients in & digest properly

First
of all, your primary source of nutrients should be FOOD–not supplements.
Your body is designed to metabolize whole foods in their natural form–not
concentrated powders in a capsule.

It’s
also important to eat REAL foods–not processed food. Your food should not
come with a bar code and ingredients you can’t pronounce. Trust me, if you
don’t know what an ingredient on a label is, neither does your body.

And
the last important piece of this puzzle is good digestion.

If
you don’t have good digestion, you don’t stand a snowball’s chance in
you-know-where of absorbing the nutrients your body needs.

And
the key to having good digestion is to eat meals that your body can easily
digest.

The
Great Taste No Pain
system can make all of this a breeze for you!

The
GTNP manuals show
you how to structure high-energy, easy to digest meals made from REAL,
nutritious foods that taste positively fantastic!

When
you eat combinations of real foods that can be broken down efficiently by
your stomach and intestines, your body gets the nutrients it needs and you
get fewer tummy troubles!

And
the dishes in the recipe book are the bomb! You’ll be shocked and delighted
at how delicious and enjoyable eating for high energy (and great health!)
can be.

Note:
If you’ve got gluten challenges, Great Taste No Gluten
is for you instead.
 

Metabolism Strategy
#2: Have the enzymes for the job

Like
I mentioned above, your metabolism is dependent on enzymes. Every single
one of your body’s processes needs them.

But
if you’ve had a typical diet of processed or fast food for a while, chances
are excellent that you’ve expended
WAY more enzymes on digestion than Nature intended.

And
your body’s ability to produce enzymes for ALL of your processes may be
hampered as a result.

That’s
why supplementation with a quality enzyme formula like Digestizol Max
can be so helpful for SO many reasons!

Many
people supplementing with digestive enzymes not only see tremendous relief
in their digestion, but also have reported feeling more energy as a result!

Digestizol
Max’s
super-potent blend
of 14 plant-derived enzymes targets a broad range of proteins,
carbohydrates, sugars, fats and fibers in your diet.

Digestizol Max
will help you digest every single kind of food you could possibly
eat…while helping to conserve your body’s ability to produce the enzymes
you so desperately need from head to toe.
 

Metabolism Strategy
#3: Check your B12

Vitamin
B12 is an important catalyst in your metabolism that generates your body’s
energy (ATP) from fats and sugars.

Unfortunately,
it’s also a very common deficiency–especially with vegetarians, people who
use antacids, people who have had gastric surgery and the elderly.

Your
doctor can do a simple test to see if you’re low in B12. If you are and
changes to your diet aren’t enough, don’t just think that pills or shots
are your only options. B12 pills have been shown to have limited
absorbency rates…as low as 1/2 of 1%.  So you’re getting barely
anything for your money.  And shots are painful and very expensive.

Instead
there is another very effective option for B12 supplementation that costs
far less than shots, is convenient and has far better absorbency than pills.

It’s
Hydroxaden
2.5.

Hydroxaden
2.5 is a convenient vitamin B12 nano spray that gives you the 2.5 mg of B12
(in the form of hydroxocobalamin)
suggested by many nutrition experts. Just five quick sprays under your
tongue each day is all it takes.

Studies
show that B12 taken sublingually can be quickly and efficiently absorbed
right into your bloodstream from the mucus membranes in your mouth.

And
from there it can “get busy” boosting your metabolism and energy
level!
 

Remember,
when you take care of your body on the inside, it will be far more likely
to take care of you well into your golden years!

When
you take the proper measures to enhance your metabolism, a whole new world
full of energy, great health and maintaining a normal body weight can open
up for you.

Start
now and see what a difference it can make for you.

To
your health,

back to his 33 inch waist again!

Sherry,

Your Great Taste No Pain
plan is awesome.

I suffered from acid reflux
for over 2 years. I was taking 20 mg of Omeprazole and recently had the
dosage upped to 40 mg because I was experiencing a bad sore throat again.

After about a week of taking
40 mg, my stomach and body just didn’t feel right. Plus, I don’t tolerate
meds very well.

I searched for a more natural,
holistic approach to managing my acid reflux. I came upon your site and
tried your plan. Well it took about 6 days before I really started to notice
a significant difference. (I think going cold turkey off of Omeprazole may
have been the culprit in taking a little longer!)

It has been almost 2 weeks and
I have no reflux. I am following your meal plan and doing great.

I am a pretty fit person but
could never get rid of the extra few pounds that I always wanted to shed.
(I am a runner and exercise 5 times a week). So far, I have Iost 5 pounds
and hope to Iose 3 more to get to my 33 inch waist again!

I look forward to reading all
the info from you to help continue with my transition to eating healthy and
feeling great. I have forwarded many of your emails to family and friends
that have suffered with Gerd, IBS and other stomach-related problems.

Hopefully they heed your advice
and try your Great Taste No Pain plan
