You ever wonder how many licks it actually takes to get the the center of a tootsie pop?

Well, some kid at Purdue figured it out (he had way too much time on his hands).

It took an average of 365 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop using a "licking machine", while it took an average of 253 licks when humans did it.

Now, what I’m really wondering is what the heck a “licking machine” is…

Anyway, that’s a topic for another day. Here’s what we’ve got today:

How to Eat More and Still Lose Weight

You ever hear someone say, “I have a really fast metabolism; it’s hard for me to gain weight.”?

How about the opposite?

“I have a really slow metabolism. It’s so easy for me to gain weight.”

Well, here’s why…

Metabolism refers to how fast someone's body burns through any fuel it gets.

Someone with a high metabolism needs food more often because the energy from that food gets used up more quickly.

Even when a person with a high metabolism eats more, they might not gain as much weight as expected because their body burns through it before it sits around long enough to be used to make fat or muscle.

Imagine a car where you've floored the accelerator. You'd need to keep adding gas more often and the engine would heat up more.

Slower metabolisms run like a car that's idling.

If you’ve got a slow metabolism, your body burns through fuel at a slower rate, so you’ll tend not to need to eat as often.

However, that means the amount you normally eat can be more than what you need to keep your body where it's at. They have extra fuel in them all the time, which tends to get stored as fat.

So it's not really that all thin people have high metabolisms and all overweight people have slow ones. It's all about how many calories you put into your body versus how many your body needs.

It's just that your metabolism can raise or lower this number from the average.

So, those with higher metabolisms tend to be skinny because their average food requirements are more than you'd think… and people with slower metabolisms tend to gain weight easily because they need less food than expected to keep their bodies going.

How Metabolic Health Affects Your Ability to Lose Weight

There are four key ways metabolic health affects your ability to lose weight. In no particular order, they are:

Energy Efficiency: A healthy metabolism efficiently converts food into energy, allowing your body to burn calories more effectively. When your metabolic rate is high, you naturally burn more calories, even at rest, making weight loss easier.

Glucose Regulation: Good metabolic health ensures better glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This helps prevent fat storage and reduces cravings and energy crashes, which can sabotage weight loss efforts.

Hormonal Balance: A balanced metabolism supports the proper functioning of hormones like thyroid hormones and insulin, which play crucial roles in regulating appetite, energy levels, and fat storage.

Inflammation Control: Poor metabolic health often correlates with chronic inflammation, which can hinder weight loss by disrupting hormonal balance and increasing fat storage. Reducing inflammation through metabolic health can thus enhance weight loss.
