Herbal Power Pack - Rev it up for Weight loss

Breathing, heart beat, cell metabolism, kidney function, and even thinking and dreaming uses calories. Muscle cells use calories even when at rest. Those 1,000 of not so Easy weight loss calories diets recommended by many a doctor in my former fat days were crawling with nutritional deficiencies and served more to slow down my metabolism than to strengthen it - as well as my body.

It makes no sense for the systems of your body to raise your metabolism (by adding muscle) when you are not getting enough calories; that way starvation lies. So no, you are probably not going to burn fat to get the calories to build a lot of muscle, even if you aren't at extremely low body fat.

Losing muscle will make it harder to lose body fat due to a decreased metabolism. If you consume less calories and exercise you will gradually burn what you want to get rid of - body fat. People who are sufficiently motivated will lose weight if they reduce their calorie intake below their normal daily requirement and increase their metabolic rate through exercise. This forces the body to burn fat as stored energy to fill the gap. While some people give anecdotal evidence that these programs are very effective, there isn?t significant scientific evidence to suggest that these programs actually change your metabolic rate.
