Myth: Thinner people have a higher metabolism. Some people seem to be able to eat as much of any kind of food as they like and not gain weight. Is this because they have a naturally faster metabolism? Actually, many thinner individuals have slower resting metabolisms than larger people. However, the number of calories burned per day is most affected by the amount of muscle a person has. Muscles burn calories. According to research, boosting strength training helps accelerate weight loss much faster than diet alone.
Here's another one: Eating several small meals will boost metabolism. It’s become common to hear that eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day is better for weight loss than the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Where metabolism is concerned, how often you eat has little to do with the speed of your metabolism. The reason eating smaller meals more often helps with weight loss is because eating more frequently curbs cravings and lowers your hunger cues, which helps you make better choices on the quantity and kind of foods you eat. Go figure, huh? Both are pretty much 180 degrees from what we've come to believe over the years...
