Fasting and Metabolism
The most frequently asked questions is about fasting and metabolism. The fear is that while this fasting, the metabolism slows down after fasting and obtained more weight than before. Initially, any calorie reduction causes a reduction in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy production. In short, eat less and feel more energized.

After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleaned of stool compact, allowing better absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals energy enhancement. Healthy people burn more calories. They do not need food as a security blanket.
Exercise causes the biggest impact you can have to increase the resting metabolism. After a workout you can sit on a couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles take up glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to losing weight is to eat fewer calories and exercise more. A raw food diet full of calories provides less density, more fiber and foods that please the stomach.
Oh, and if not wise, a slow metabolism reduces the aging process. A tortoise can live to be 400 years old.
