<span>When someone tries to lose weight and he/she does a
lot of exercise and eats healthy food, but that does not have results, the
reason is slow metabolism. One of the most important things for good metabolism
is to drink a lot of water (cold water is better for metabolism than warm). It
is also important to have at least three meals during the day, and not to eat after
dinner. It means that, if you eat after 18 or 19h, it will have bad effect on
your metabolism and health. Good sleep is also important for metabolism: you
should go to sleep around 22 or 23h. Stress is also one of the things which
slows our metabolism...</span>
It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature.
So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy.
The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.
You’re not getting enough sleep however taking a few small naps throughout the day can help :)
