Your metabolism is simply the rate at which your body burns calories. Lean muscle burns a lot more calories than fat, even at rest, so when you’re dieting and not exercising you lose muscle as well as fat, your metabolism drops and you burn fewer calories

An interesting study undertaken by American and Canadian researchers, and will be published in the next issue of Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), has found that children of women who were conceived after their mother had weight loss surgery had a lower incidence of obesity than siblings who were born before she had the surgery. The researchers looked at 49 women who had a surgery called biliopancreatic diversion, or BPD before between pregnancies.
