Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How can I get rid of the fat around my waist and thighs?

Q. How do I increase my metabolism?

To increase our metabolic rate ( the rate at which the body burns calories), we need to build more lean muscle. The more muscle we have, the higher our metabolic rate; the less muscle we have, the lower our metabolic rate. A healthy diet with sufficient calories plays a vital role in keeping a fast metabolic rate. A diet with severe calorie restriction can switch your body into starvation mode a super efficient mode where the body will conserve body fat and use muscle tissue for energy leading to a slower metabolism due to a further reduction in muscle mass.
