Beyond The Scale Metabolism And Weight Loss!
Updated: Oct 11
Your weight is based on several aspects that can be control others are not for i.e., genetics, family history, and hormones can impact your weight, but there is not too much you can do to significantly change those. On the other hand, how much and what you eat, the medications you take, the amount of stress you are under, and how much sleep and physical activity you get contribute to weight and are a bit more controllable (not completely controllable).
The metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions that occur in a cell, the three primaries are:
-Simple molecules to form more complex molecules (Anabolic Pathway)
-Energy release (Catabolic Pathway)
-Toxic waste which produced from the first two (Elimination Pathway)
The amount of energy (calories) your body uses to perform these essential functions is called basal metabolic rate (BMR), or metabolism, accounts for about two-thirds of the calories your body burns each day.
Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. Food and beverages calories are combined with oxygen to release the energy our body needs to function. Mayo Clinic.
Your metabolism is influence from your body size and composition. People who are bigger and have heavier bones and more muscle mass burn more calories at rest.
Men tend to be bigger and have more muscle naturally and have a higher metabolism than men. Bones and muscle mass naturally decrease (and fat mass naturally increase) with age. If you do not take steps to maintain bone and muscle mass, your metabolism likely will decrease and results in increased weight.
Certain medical conditions can also affect our metabolism hormone syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can slow our metabolism down. These conditions often come with arange of other symptoms beyond just weight gain. If you have an underlying medical condition, do not hesitate to contact your doctor or healthcare professional about tests to confirm these diagnoses.
A slow metabolism may be one factor that influences your weight, but it's not the only one; what we eat, drink, and how active we are plays a roles in our weight loss. Digesting food burns calories: 10% of the calories in carbohydrates and protein is digested, physical-activity accounts for some of the calories we burn every day.
While some people may gain or lose weight faster than others, the balance of your energy equation counts for your weight loss. The amount of (calories) you take in minus the amount of (calories) you burn can determine whether you gain or lose weight.
The thyroid hormone, sometimes overlooked, regulators our metabolism like the engine that keeps our metabolic processes running smoothly. When our thyroid is balanced, our metabolism hums, converting food into energy efficiently; once the thyroid is disrupted, it can throw a wrench in the works, affecting your energy levels and potentially leading to weight-related challenges.
Nutrition, on the other hand, serves as the raw material for these metabolic processes. It's the fuel that your body engine needs to function optimally. The amounts of nutrients we consume influence our energy levels and our body ability to burn calories effectively and maintain a healthy weight.
Understanding these complicated connections between metabolism, hormones, nutrition, and weight loss can be a game-changer in your health journey. It's more than just counting calories, it's all about nourishing your body with the wright nutrients to support balanced hormones and a healthy metabolism.
