Another issue with controlling obesity is the changes that can occur to the metabolism and fat cells. The body becomes accustom to the excess weight as normal. As part of the body' s self preservation mechanism, when the body senses it is not getting enough food intake, it slows the metabolism down to prevent the loss of stored food reserves. Metabolism is simple energy rate the body uses to maintain itself. It is the most basic bodily functions at a cellular level to high levels energy output from physical activity. Metabolism controls the burning of energy resources, how fast, at what rate and when to tap into stored glycogen. At rest, the body uses the least amount of metabolism to maintain the body' s systems.
