Metabolism Boosters!

Our metabolism is responsible for using 60% of the calories that we take in with the remainder being used or burnt by our movements such as the exercise that we do. A high metabolism is where calories are burnt by the body at a higher or faster rate than normal and less fat is stored.
In contrast a low metabolism is where the body burns calories at a lower or slower rate than usual and more fat is stored, this generally means that people with a slow metabolism put weight on faster where as people with a high metabolism may eat and eat and eat yet never put on any weight.
