say for someone with a slow metabolisim, will certain way of dieting or eathing habits makes a difference? eg. will eating many small meals make your metabolism faster?

[aiaigasa]

first off, if you think you have slow metabolism you should talk to your doctor to get a blood test for hypothyroidism. ^^

BUT for people who just have slightly slow metabolism due to genetics and such you can eat more often to speed up your metabolism, but still make sure you're within your caloric limit or else you'll gain weight >< caffeine also increases metabolism for a bit until your body gets used to it... i think green tea also contains metabolism-stimulating compounds?

but i think my doctor told me the best way to increase metabolism is to exercise... so.. ^^;

yes i agree. Also if you are trying to lose weight, go about 300 below your actualy maintenance calorie intake. Also its best to eat 6 small meals a day to make that totaly 300 below your maintenance.

also you should exercise too as well since i think it also boosts up your metabolism as well =)

Eat a full serving of fiber everyday! That's what I did, and my metabolism sky rocketed =]

[xjaneee]

some people are born with fast metabolism

but you can alter your metabolism
usually if you dont eat excessively, and you run alot, that fastens your metabolism

[DrunkenPanda]

I heard if you do morning cardio, especially HIIT, you'll speed up your metabolism for the day ^^ I'm not sure if it's true though, but yeah.

works miracles (:

A few suggestions...
- Eat a meal 5-6 times a day with small portions... you won't be eating more food, just spreading it throughout the day.
- Eliminate processed food from your diet.
- EXERCISE. Do strength training because this will increase your lean muscle mass. Muscle uses more calories to maintain itself then fat does.

you can boost your metablolism if you eat breakfast.. the most important meal of the day.

[kinein]

Exercising daily and eating healthy will raise your metabolism. If it doesn't then you should see your doctor to get your thyroid checked.

i think i have the fastest metabolism in the world lol
im about 100lbs and i can stuff myself in a buffet and an hour later i would eat more at home..
i digest really really fast.
and sleep and eat. dont gain much though.

it depends on who you are. i know my mom eats and gains weight really quickly, not like me.
i have alot of gene stuff form my grandpa though. he's really tall(use to be lol) and skinny and eats alot.


i heard smoking increase your metabolism but dont do that.

I'm not sure on this, but someone told me that instead of eating three meals, eat small portions of food throughout the days and it'll increase your metabolism (like u said).

if you want to raise your matabolism... you can try to eat alot slower. if you noticed people that are slow eaters are actually really fit. and have a fast matabolism. and you eat less

[turquoise_and_takoyaki]

exercise and eat small frequent meals at least 6 small meals a day - choose the healthy meals of course
