The process through which your body uses the food you eat for energy is called body metabolism.

Unfortunately every overweight person on the face of the planet has been told they have a slow one and that the key to losing the extra pounds is simply to "speed it up".

However, this statement is misleading because you will naturally have a slow metabolic rate at certain times (like when you sleep) and faster rate at others (like when you're performing strenuous activity).

Pay close attention to the following: it's not the speed of your metabolism that makes you overweight, it's the efficiency.

Efficiency is defined as: functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of effort.

Think of your body as a system.

Every part of that system uses energy from the food you eat in order to operate. You're using energy this very moment to make your eyes move across this line!

The level of efficiency with which your body converts food into energy (In other words, your metabolic efficiency) determines whether you are overweight, underweight or the perfect weight!

And if you're overweight, it's not that you have a "slow metabolism", it's that you have an inefficient one.

Which brings us to the most important question...

What causes an inefficient body metabolism?

Find the answer to this question, fix it, and you will experience lightning fast weight loss and never gain one pound back... guaranteed!

So here's the cause...

The efficiency at which your metabolism operates is dependent on four factors...

-Body hydration: Meaning how much water you are getting on a day to day basis.

-The food you consume on a regular basis: Meaning what you eat each and every day.

-Your consistent eating habits: Meaning when and how you eat.

-Your regular, daily level of activity: Meaning how active you are throughout your day.

These four factors are the foundation of weight loss and if any single one of them is missing you will naturally have an inefficient, sluggish metabolism.

So, if you are looking to lose weight fast, don't follow the crowd and simply try to increase your metabolism by popping pills or other ridiculous weight loss gimmicks! Instead, focus on improving your metabolic efficiency by applying the four factors listed above, because it's these four things that hold the key to super fast and more importantly, lasting weight loss.
