Taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate are two characteristics that distinguish modern humans from non-human primates. A genetic variant that helped these traits co-evolve was discovered by ...

By the end of my last post, I’d concluded some basic things about metabolic rate and recovery from the contemporary science of eating-disorder research. Firstly, basal metabolic rate (BMR) and resting ...

The number is much smaller than previous research, which estimated metabolic ceilings as 10 times your BMR. And while extreme ...
