How To Boost Your Metabolism & Lose Weight Faster
determines whether weight is gained or lost. So with that being said, cutting down your caloric intake to, say, 1000 calories a day isnt necessarily going to help you lose weight; because it doesnt necessarily change your metabolism.

Really, it makes sense: the body says that something has gone wrong; instead of the 2000 calories that it needs, its only getting 1000. The body doesnt know why this is happening; it doesnt know that you want to lose weight. It just senses that something is wrong; perhaps youre trapped in a cave or something, or stuck in a snowstorm. So the body, trying to help you, will slow down its metabolism; it will do its best to slow down the conversion rate, so that you have as much energy on hand as possible.Now, if your body was able to read this book and you could say: look, please just do what you normally do, but do it with 1000 fewer calories a day for a while, then we might actually get somewhere.
