Carbohydrates And Fueling Your Diet

1. Carbohydrates And Fueling Your Diet If there is a positive energy balance, this means more food is being taken in than is being burned up as fuel. Hence weight gain is a likely consequence. If there's a negative energy balance it means the opposite, and hence weight loss is likely.Put this way, you might think that it would be simple to work out the number of calories contained in a particular meal, and the exact amount of exercise required to burn this off, and hence remain weight stable. Unfortunately life is never that simple. The calories in - calories out formulae is only roughly correct because this is a 'physics' type formula, not taking account of any intermediatory response by a biological organism. In reality, humans (and animals) respond in different ways to reducing food intake and/or increasing exercise expenditure. For survival purposes it's important that a continuous negative energy balance doesn't result in a continual weight loss - otherwise we'd die, and that's not good for the survival of the species! Hence metabolic rate (which accounts for about 70% of energy expended), slows down to stop us from disappearing. Hunger levels also change, and so does the rate at which we burn energy for a set amount of activity. All is designed for survival and hence the brakes on weight loss are strong. The breaks on weight gain, from a positive energy balance on the other hand, are not so strong, as weight gain can be important for long-term survival to help get you through the famines. For this reason it's much easier to put on weight than take it off. https://discountdevotee.com/platinum-soursop-review/ https://discountdevotee.com/prostacet-review/ https://discountdevotee.com/curcumin-2000-review/ https://discountdevotee.com/dentasmile-teeth-whitening-review/
