   Nearly every time you pick up a magazine or newspaper these days, you see advertisements for products that supposedly raise your metabolism. Whether they're trying to sell you exercise equipment or food supplements, these ads claim that the products turn up the heat in your body so you burn more calories even when you're not exercising. Sounds logical enough, but is it true?
   No question, in today's fitness world people are mad for everything metabolic. But what exactly is this thing called "metabolism" and how much do we really know about raising it? For example, what's better for the boost- weight training or aerobics? And is it true that eating hot chili peppers fires up your rate of fat combustion? Here are some burning questions about burning calories, plus some answers that are sure to surprise you.

   What does "metabolism" mean?
   Your metabolism is the sum of processes involving energy production- specifically, the chemical changes in your living cells by which energy is provided for your vital processes and activities and new material is assimilated. You can also think about your metabolism as the number of calories you're burning at any given moment, whether you're watching "Seinfeld" or pumping away on the StairMaster. Naturally, your metabolic rate- the rate of energy production and expenditure- will be higher when you're exercising than when you're crashed on the couch.

   Will aerobic exercise raise your resting metabolic rate?
   Several studies have failed to show any significant increase in resting metabolic rate due to aerobic workouts. One, for instance, found that men who jogged three times a week for 30 minutes at about 70 to 80 percent of their maximum heart rate did not increase their RMR. But they were certainly burning lots of calories on the run.

   What is "afterburn"?
   This term refers to the fact that your metabolic rate stays elevated after you do any kind of exercise. But the effect varies greatly depending on the type of workout, how hard and, to some extent, how long you just exercised.
   In a recent study, Christopher Melby, Dr.P.H., associate professor of nutritional science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and his colleagues monitored seven men who did a killer, 90-minute weight workout- six sets of 10 exercises with very little rest between sets. Two hours after the workout, their metabolic rate was 11 percent higher than normal. When the subjects were measured the next morning, 15 hours after the workout, their metabolism was still elevated by a hefty 9 percent, which could translate into as much as 150 extra calories burned.
   In another study, Melby cut the workout down to five sets of each exercise and let the subjects rest longer between sets. The subjects' post-exercise metabolic rate also was 11 percent elevated after two hours; but by the next morning, the increase had dropped to less than 5 percent. "What that indicates is, the post-exercise metabolic rate [of a weight-training workout] is a function of exercise intensity primarily, and to some extent duration," Melby says. The numbers in both studies were impressive, but the workouts were far longer and more strenuous than most people have the time, strength, stamina and motivation to maintain. Melby believes that the concept of afterburn gets too much hype. After all, the calories you burn post-exercise are negligible compared to what you burn during the workout.

   Does aerobic exercise also give you an afterburn?
   Yes, but it probably doesn't last as long as the weight-training afterburn- unless you work out intensely or do interval training. Most studies have found that mild to moderate exercise elevates metabolic rate for only a few minutes to a few hours. If, for instance, you jogged at 70 percent of your maximum heart rate for a half-hour, you probably wouldn't experience an afterburn for more than an hour. "For most people it'll be less than that," Melby says, burning no more than 15 to 30 calories. On the other hand, highly trained athletes who can run for, say, 90 minutes at 75 percent of their maximum heart rate, might have significant afterburn for several hours. The bottom line: Focus on burning calories during your workout, not after.
   As for why strength training has more of an afterburn than moderate aerobic exercise, scientists aren't sure. One possible explanation, Melby says, is that anaerobic exercise, such as weight training, might elevate levels of the hormone epinephrine, which stimulates metabolic rate. Another theory: The repair of microscopic tissue damage caused by weight lifting might expend more energy.

   What about aerobic interval training?
   Go for it. Afterburn seems to depend mainly on workout intensity (duration doesn't have nearly as much effect). So if you do aerobics, interval training with alternate bursts of activity will get the best post-workout rise out of your metabolism. "If you did a number of short bouts, say on the treadmill or the bike, at 95 percent of your max, the afterburn would be significantly greater than if you used the same number of calories, or even more, doing one longer, lower-intensity bout at 50 or 70 percent of your max," says Melby. "Your metabolic rate would be elevated for a longer period at a higher magnitude."
   So there is truth in advertising. Some kinds of equipment can rev up your body's calorie-burning rate; just be sure to do high-intensity interval training for the best metabolic results.

   Is there any way to lower metabolism?
   Yes. Go on a very low-calorie diet. Your body will sense that it is being starved and will fight back by slowing down. "If you don't get enough calories, your metabolic rate can go down profoundly, says Callaway. Severely anorexic women, he says, burn 30 to 40 percent fewer calories a day- sometimes 50 percent- than women who eat normally. (In other words, an anorexic who takes in only 200-300 calories a day uses it up much more slowly that her normal counterpart.) It's not clear how much of a calorie deficit triggers a drop in RMR- there's probably a continuum. But, says Callaway, you can get into trouble by consuming fewer calories than your RMR requires.

   Can't you prevent your resting metabolism from dropping by exercising when you diet?
   Not necessarily, especially if you're on a very low-calorie diet. Two late-breaking studies divided subjects into four groups: diet only, diet plus aerobic exercise, diet plus weight training, and diet plus aerobics and weight training. After many weeks, After many weeks, both studies found no significant weight loss among any of the groups. "When you add a lot of exercise on top of a marked caloric restriction, you're not going to prevent resting metabolic rate from falling," says Thomas A. Wadden, Ph.D., a psychology professor and director of the weight and eating disorders Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia who conducted one of the studies.
   That doesn't mean you should skip the exercise. To the contrary, you should diet and work out with moderation. In Wadden's study where the diet was severe- 128 obese people ate only 925 calories a day for the first 16 weeks and 1,500 daily for the next 32- there were no significant differences in weight or body composition changes among the groups. (Both calorie amounts were severe for this population.)

    No I think Sarah always used to be very reserved and delivered and now the whole discussion exceed her limit and now she just have to let out the whole frustration. Sometimes when you are pissed you say words you wouldn’t normally say and do things you wouldn’t normally do. So I think it was just a reaction on the whole shity situation.
