"PEOPLE MAY LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAY ... THEY BELIEVE WHAT YOU DO!!"
MAKE IT A HABIT
Personal improvement, whether it's weight loss or fitness, is about creating or losing a habit. It shouldn't be thought of as a short-term event. People diet until they lose 10kgs, and then stop the smart eating and exercise strategies that got them there. Once they reach their goal, they go back to the way they lived before and wonder why the weight comes back. For permanent change, habits need to stick around for the long run. With repetition and time, a single action will seem habitual. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes part of who you are, and the transformation is complete.
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR METABOLIC RATE - THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES YOU BURN AT REST, RECORDS YOUR FITNESS AGE.
Two things:
First, there's a strong link between exercise volume and your metabolic rate. In other words, the more exercise you do, the higher your metabolic rate. The fact that people tend to exercise less as they age is partly responsible for the drop in metabolic rate.
Second, metabolic rate is also linked to total calorie intake. This means that the more you eat, the higher your metabolic rate.
However, many people don't realize that muscle mass is not the only thing that affects your basal metabolic rate.
Energy Flux
• The link between adjusted basal metabolic rate, exercise volume, and energy intake involves a concept known as energy flux.
The Bottom Line
• The bottom line is that a drop in your metabolic rate is not an inevitable consequence of aging, and has a lot more to do with the way you live your life.
You can minimize the age-related drop in metabolic rate by maintaining a high energy flux - balancing a nutrient-dense diet with regular exercise, plus maintaining your muscle mass.
