Your Metabolism

When you exercise your body has to convert food or fat into energy, a process that on a simplified level can be referred to as metabolism. Amazingly about 10% of calories used each day are used in digesting, absorbing, transporting and storing the food you consume!

Physical activity accounts for the remainder of calories used. You control the number of calories burned. Wearing the Weight Loss and Fitness Jacket whilst active will help your metabolism work harder meaning you use more calories and your achieve your weight loss goal more quickly. Your metabolism even continues to work at a faster rate after you have stopped exercising!

Your Body's Basic Needs
Even when your body is at rest, it requires energy to maintain your health, powering your organs, breathing, circulating blood, plus growing and repairing cells. Calories expended to cover these basic functions are your basal metabolic rate. Typically a person’s basal metabolic rate is the largest portion of energy used, representing two thirds to three quarters of the calories used each day. Energy needs for these basic functions stay fairly consistent and aren’t easily changed.

Weight gain is more likely due to an energy imbalance - consuming more calories than your body burns. To lose weight, you need to create an energy deficit by eating fewer calories or increasing the number of calories you burn through physical activity, though preferably both. This is where your Weight Loss and Fitness Jacket helps.

For years people have sought ways to raise their metabolic rate, something which would increase the number of calories burned during all daily activities and greatly help the fight against obesity. Unfortunately success has been limited, although there are foods that we can consume which naturally raise our metabolic rate their effect is limited. What we need is a way to directly alter the rate. We need to be able to raise our metabolism to a point where we can actual a see a benefit.

Right now the most efficient method of raising our metabolisms is through exercise, something which builds our muscle mass while reducing our body fat. Although muscle weighs more than fat its very existence in our bodies burns additional calories increasing our metabolic rate. This is exactly what the Weight Loss and Fitness Jacket is for.
