There may be lots of weight loss watchers around the globe that may be wondering if there are foods that will aid in speeding up metabolism and make them lose tons of pounds faster than the usual dieting technique.
For the most part, people are consumed with losing weight and speeding up their metabolism, so it sounds fairly different if you are interested in knowing how to slow down metabolism.
Phenylketonuria (pronounced fee-nill-key-toe-NURR-ee-uh) or PKU is an inherited disorder of metabolism that can cause mental retardation if not treated.
Recently a young man asked me about losing weight. His question was, as he has quite a lot of weight to lose he wanted to lose it really quickly as in 20 Kgs per month.
Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body's motor is running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic rate. It's how fast your "motor" is running when you're still in a reclined position or sleeping. About 60-75% of energy is expended by the body at rest in such activities.
