3 Weight Loss Laws of Metabolism

Lose weight with Total Control - an appetite suppressor and metabolism booster

If Sir Issac Newton had defined weight loss laws they would be something like this. A body at rest would stay at rest until acted upon by a metabolism booster. Weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate. A metabolism boost would have an equal and opposite energy burning reaction. Instead he defined the principal laws of motion.

Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion provide relationships between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body. Newton's first law states that a body at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force or a body in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. Newton's second law basically says that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=MxA). The third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

This is important to dieters because the force of gravity is always acting upon us earthlings. That means the you need to burn a certain amount of energy just to stay at rest or equal the force of gravity. This is called the resting metabolic rate. It is rated as the number of calories you need to burn just to maintain your current size and weight without any activity. Obviously this will vary from person to person, but is related to your size, shape and physical health.

So let's say that your goal is to improve your size, shape and physical health. Then you would need an outside force to act upon your resting body to accelerate it toward that goal. We can see that weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate or WL = E x M.

So it would follow that to decrease your mass (weight) you need to increase your metabolism for an equal and opposite fat burning reaction. Simply increasing your metabolic rate should decrease your stored fat and promote weight loss. Conversely increasing your stored energy without increasing your metabolic rate would increase your weight.

Stored energy in the body is in 2 forms, fat and muscle. The trick here is to convert the energy stored in fat and maintain or build muscle energy. This combination could result in improved weight management, better shape and improved health.

Certain foods, supplements and herbs have the natural ability to increase your metabolic rate thus supplying you with the energy you need to burn more fat. These are said to have thermogenic properties. Green tea is one such herb.

That makes energy and metabolism boosters important to weight loss. Energy boosters are those foods or supplements that increase metabolism with a low calorie count such as most fruit and vegetables, green tea, vitamins, herbs and minerals.

Foods containing a lot of fats and carbohydrates have a high energy density and high caloric loads will increase your stored energy (fat). These foods include French fries, pasta, cheeses, chips, cookies and cakes, etc. Also known as "junk food."

Let's review: The 3 weight loss laws are a body at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by a metabolism booster. Weight loss=energy burned x metabolic rate. A metabolism boost will have an equal and opposite energy burning reaction. The force of gravity is always acting upon us earthlings. Stored energy is in the form of fat and muscle. Certain foods have natural thermogenic properties including green tea, vitamins, mineral and herbs. Metabolism and energy boosters raise your metabolic rate. Junk food will increase your stored energy (fat).

Conclusion: Energy and metabolism boosters may promote weight loss by burning stored energy (fat).
