Metabolism is the set of reactions that convert Eat in vitality.
Perhaps one of the most common myths about metabolism - it is his notorious speed. And in fact: people with a "fast" or conversely, "slow" metabolism does not happen. Chemical reactions all occur at the same pace. A little difference existing provide individual characteristics of a person, his daily routine, genetic predisposition, health and so forth.
If the required energy food does not give, and all eaten away "in oil", it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:
1. Calories and count
Watch out for high-calorie food. And calculate the required daily dose of calories for myself. If you regularly exceed this dose - will recover, reduce - lose weight. It's simple. However, do not get involved restrictions. Nutritionists believe: it is enough to reduce the caloric content of 15%. This approach and the body is shocked, and give a positive result. If, however, drastically reduce the amount of food, the brain immediately give the signal that came the "famine", it's time to stock. And the body will begin to store all that gets in the "rainy day". Where to? That's right - in body fat.
2. Food (his balance)
In humans, an equally important role is played by proteins and fats, and carbohydrates. Refusing to something one, people break the balance, which is so necessary for the preservation of health.
3. hormones

· Cortisol. Under stress the adrenal cortex is it is produced. Excessively high levels of it contributes to the destruction of muscle fibers and fat accumulation in the abdomen. It should be borne in mind that in times of stress, of course, you can lose weight, but it will happen at the expense of muscle mass and it will be very bad for your health.
· Insulin. It "produces" the pancreas. The hormone is involved in the synthesis of proteins, fats and controls blood sugar levels, helps the glycogen deposited in the muscles and liver. At Sweet decreased sensitivity to the hormone, which leads to diabetes.
· Melatonin. It is produced in the pineal gland and "knows" how to rejuvenate the body and improve overall health, has beneficial effects on biological rhythms.
· Somatotropin. "Growth hormone", which is produced by the anterior pituitary. It has a "fat burning" function. It operates at night only, it is not necessary to use large amounts of carbohydrates before bedtime.
