Diet Programs Today

Your metabolism is a process by which body burns calories. Enzymes are used to break down the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into materials that can be carried through the bloodstream and used by cells. The energy produced is either used immediately or stored for later. Generally when calories are stored, they are stored as fat.

So if you use more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. If you take in more calories than your body can use, you will gain weight. (A gain or loss in weight could be either muscle or fat).
