Adaptive Metabolisms

Description

Welcome back to another week of the ECC Podcast today we're talking about adaptive metabolisms

1. What is metabolism? It’s not just Calorie Expenditure
2. How does metabolism differ from person to person? People that need to eat a ton to lose or gain, other people need to significantly lower calories.
Efficiency is survival
3. Definition: What is an adaptive metabolism? Everyone has an adaptive metabolism, with all tissue gain comes a bit of fat
- The most metabolically active are heart and Kidney
- Body is very efficient at body weight change cause individuals at the same weight regularly
4. What makes one person have a more adaptive metabolism than another and why do some gain more fat than others?
- Susceptibility has to do with genetics
- Identical twins similar responses to overeating
- Those who aren't related there is a huge variance
- Those who are related gained very similar results.
- Huge role that genetics play in body composition
- More sedentary, yet those who ate more because they ate more.
- Those who enjoy: Sitting playing video games, eating on the couch, staying inside, Netflix,bodyweight is going to be the biggest component to how many calories they burn.
Metabolism can and in fact will change however when it comes to the variables we must be able to control what we can control.
