How is metabolic slowdown a defect? I don't see middle-aged people dropping dead around me, so clearly all that has happened is that their bodies are now more efficient. Great news!
And piling on fat making it harder to exercise? Sure, on the face of it that's true, but usually the one happens because theres a dire lack of the other.
- michaelochurch 12y agoIt's not basal metabolic rate that makes people fat. It's either unhealthy cracings or low energy (and yes, I know that this sense of "energy" is psychological to some degree) levels. It's not low BMR alone that's the problem and, of course, if you have a high BMR but cravings/appetite issues or lethargy, you're still likely to gain weight.
