Metabolism - a completely misunderstood word

Metabolism is a completely misunderstood word. Yes, our metabolism may change slightly as we get older - and may very slightly from person to person. But only slightly. Metabolism cannot be blamed for weight gain. Instead, the blame is on society and technology: “As technology advances, we find that we’re less physically active as a society. Our father’s fathers had jobs that involved plowing the field, factory work, or more physically-demanding work,” says Fit Pro Scott Grzybowski, “it’s just not that way anymore. Today, most of us have jobs that include sitting at a desk or behind the wheel of a car and still consume the same number of calories. These jobs don’t include any physical activity and little to no opportunity to burn the calories that we consume every day. This little gadget gives us a chance to measure our calorie burn for the day and plan our lives and our meals around that. We are using technology to overcome the lack of activity that technology has brought on.” Sharron@BodyByGriz.com
