I have a slow metabolism..?

Question

I have a really slow metabolism and I want to speed it up, so how do I do that? Is it even possible?

Answer 1

If you stay active during the day like going for long walks , running, etc it should help speed it up.

Answer 2

Dominique had a great answer above but let me add to it a bit.

She said to make sure you eat every 2 to 3 hours.. that is important, but I am sure she also meant to make sure you are eating healthy every 2 to 3 hours. Ice cream and cheeseburgers don't count.. how about some raw vegetables or fruit.

Other than that the most effective way in my opinion is a regular sustained excise program. Changing your body or your metabolism is a life time commitment but not one that you should be afraid of, work hard and it will pay off and you will be happy to continue.

Answer 3

-eat small (healthy, proportoned) meals 5-6 times a day
-when you walk/run sprint for 30sec-1 minute then walk for a few minutes, that will speed up your metabolism, by keeping you heart rate up
