Women Metabolism

Question: Does 'One a Day women's active metabolism' help you lose weight? Hi, Today I went to the store and bought 'One a Day women's active metabolism'. When I went home, I realized it was 'One a Day weight smart' that I apparently needed. But I wanted to know if the one I have now is good for losing weight too. Thanks in advance!

Answer: Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing. There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there's also the Jojo-effect. The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports. Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That's an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn't that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ? - Healthy life every day! Take care, :-)

Question: What age does a metabolism start to slow down in women? I heard it starts slowing down when your body starts to go down like at 30. Is this true?

Question: How often do us women take vinegar to speed up our metabolism?

Answer: Actually it's supposed to be apple cider vinegar (the real cloudy one) that you can take to speed up your metabolism. It also helps with high blood pressure, constipation, etc. If you google the benefits of apple cider vinegar, you can read up on all the advantages. I personally take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, squeeze the juice of half a lemon, 1/4 of unsweetened cranberry juice, and 1/4 of water every morning.It is a cleanser that flushes out your kidneys and helps with metabolism. The taste is horrible, but it definitely helps.

Question: Does one a day women's active metabolism interact with anything? (like depression meds like wellbutrin xl or c? I've been taking one a day women's active metabolism for about a week now and i heard it can make you depressed and crazy? and also interact with medications

Question: Do the One-A-Day Women's Active Metabolism pills really work? how effectively ?

Answer: No. It's important that you find a supplement that is made with wholefoods. My favorite brand is True Source, offered by Young Living Essential Oils.

Question: Black women have slower metabolism than other races? Is this true? I notice most of us struggle with our weight. Most of us are fat. Torrie, Yeah, I'm fat and I have hypertension. What's good about being black?

Answer: That's not true. I have a slow metabolism, but I'm still average weight for my height. I know some black women with a fast metabolism and they're thin too. Most of us struggle with weight because we stuff our faces with unhealthy foods. =] Simple as that.

Question: *Around What Age Do Women's Metabolism Start To Slow Down*? what's the average age that this starts to happen in women? does it depend on diet, amount of exercise, whether they have children or not?

Answer: It depends on the person. I am 30 and still have a very fast metabolism. I eat about 2500 calories a day and don't gain weight even though I don't exercise. My mom started gaining weight in her 40's and eventually became obese, and her weight gain was related to menopause. I think your state of mind and lifestyle can make a difference. Even though I don't exercise, I do stay busy. I park farther away at stores and I avoid elevators, I rarely sit around and watch TV, etc.... The main reason I stay thin isn't that I exercise, but because I avoid being lazy. I've read that keeping busy keeps your metabolism up.

Question: What is the approximate daily basal metabolism of a 110-pound women? 500 kcal 1,000 kcal 1,500 kcal 2,000 kcal

Question: At what age does a women's metabolism begin to slow down?

Answer: thirties but it will only slow if you allow it too slow down... The perfect way to loose weight and monitor your progress is to use a calorie counter on a daily basis while you diet. Energy In/Energy Out Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day One Pound equals 3,500 Calories To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat 1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day. Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss. Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound. Water Intake/Less Storage Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day. Good Food My favorite things to eat: Avocado Wraps Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste. Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner. First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day. Lean Cuisines Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements. It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals. Fruits and Veggies All you want on the schedule listed below. Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own. ____ Vitamins My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake. WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food. _____ Soda/Carbonation Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need. So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts. ____ Your Body Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight. What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way. ____ Walking Buddy This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape. : By: My own experience/rivasj27

Question: Is it true that when a women hits her 30's that her metabolism slows? If so, then I'm in big trouble. I used to be able to lose weight fairly fast, now it takes forever for me to lose weight. I get very discouraged and give up. I hate "starving myself" for months at a time to only lose maybe 10 pounds. I absolutely hate dieting!

Answer: YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not fair either. The best route to go is weight watchers. It doesn't teach you how to diet,it teaches you how to live a healthy life with healthy foods and you lose weight in the process. It is truly the only weight loss program that keeps the weight off because it is an ongoing process that you will adapt to your everyday lifestyle. Good Luck.

Question: Is it true that men have a faster metabolism than women?

Question: Women in their 20's or older, at what age did your metabolism seem to slow down and you put on weight easier? It happened for me at 27.. I'm 28 now and fighting to lose weight.

Answer: After 25 but....DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!!!...Enjoy your life...make some sport, go fitness, enjoy walking and live your life and the food of course!!! :o)

Question: how do women and men differ in their metabolism of alcohol?

Answer: The reason that women get intoxicated faster than men has to do with the fact that women have less alcohol dehydrogenase in their body. Alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that helps you metabolize alcohol and when you aren't able to metabolize alcohol as fast it stays around longer in your system thus getting you drunk faster. There is a genetic factor in this as well which is probably why certain drinking cultures tend to metabolize alcohol better than others e.g. Irish. Whereas Asian and Native Indian populations tend to have problems associated with metabolizing alcohol.

Question: When does a woman metabolism slow down ? I'm 5ft6 and 107lbs. I'm in my late twenties. I always tried to gain weight. When I lost my job. I went up to 128lbs. I would drink boost and ensure. When I started to work again I lost the weight immediately. I want to be 115lbs-120lbs without trying to maintain with boost and ensure. What can I do?

Answer: I noticed it when I started to gain weight but in my 40's. But then I was always very active and worked a very physical job. At that point is when I no longer worked the job and returned to college and so started sitting a lot. It became very difficult at this point for me to maintain my weight. Try eating a couple of bites more out of every plate and eat regularly. Don't try crash foods because they are unhealthy. I can tell you from experience, it's those last few bites that put the weight on me.

Question: Metabolism: Do most women live longer than most men because women eat less food throughout their lifetime? It seems like women live longer. The death is caused by old age. Rule out any disease or accident. Say there is a healthy, normal, couple.: Husband and wife. The husband dies sooner and the wife lives longer. Even if she has carried multiple children she still will live longer. Most women watch what they eat and very strict about what they eat. Guys do too at times but not to the extent that women do. Guys don't care and there for will consume heavy amounts of calories all throughout the day. I don't see women doing this as much. Wouldn't you agree? I'm guessing women live longer because it has to do with a slow metabolism.

Answer: Everyone argues about this. Most often it comes down to two things, general size difference (which affects how hard your heart has to pump blood), and the way woman and men internalize stress. So really the issue is this: women and men put different amounts of stress on their hearts. Sadly, men tend to die younger because of the increased activity and internalized stress on the heart.
