In reply to Gain Weight. Yes gaining muscle will boost your metabolism...just not by as much as most people think

Actually you dont need to kill anyone to increase your metabolism (i know right! 🙂 ) nice idea though but thankfully i have a high metabolism myself (no jealousy please).

It makes sense and i totally agree with you that gaining muscles could boost your metabolism, i mean if you think about it, metabolism is just about burning calories that your body needs for activities right?
Then if you have more muscles wont you then have more activities for your body to burn calories for?

Haha, yes you are absolutely right. Gaining a pound of muscle just isn’t worth it when it comes to burning fat, but If you cut 5 calories from your diet, you won’t even notice it.

Thanks for stopping by Dave!

Nice job tackling the fallacy that you should gain muscle to speed up your metabolism. Obviously every little bit helps but it’s probably a lot easier to cut 5 calories from your diet than focus on gaining muscle mass.

Hey Aaron, thanks for stopping by.
Interesting idea on the pig heart, but I’m not entirely 100% sure if a pig heart can fully sustain a human’s life. I have tried using a sabertooth tiger’s heart before, but I had really bad chest pain after the surgery:)

You could always use a pig’s heart if your conscience gets the best of you. Either way better make sure that friend has the right skills to do the job or you’ll have a metabolic rate of zero!
