Why is it so important to boost or increase your metabolism? Simply put it, the higher your metabolic rate is, the more calories you burn, hence the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off!

Someone with a sluggish slower metabolism will gain more fat from eating less food in comparison to a person with a fast, healthy metabolism. So what affects your metabolism? Genetics, age, weight, diet, exercise habits as well as lifestyle.

There are certain areas which we can’t control such as our genes and also age. Saying that however, there are also areas which we can control; our weight, diet, exercise routine and lifestyle. These are the areas we should take control of, and it can speed up our metabolism. Watch this video through as I share with you 8 effective ways to boost your metabolism, burn fat and lose weight.

Honestly, I feel so disgusting eating, my metabolism is slow and I hate it, It makes me hate the way I look, I genuinely just need to learn to love myself but its so difficult when I look the way I am-

[danicortes]

“Get enough rest”

Me: watching this at 2:15 a.m

When I was a kid I had a really fast metabolism
In 3rd grade it started to get slower
Now I'm back to how I was thankfully
This is what I did:
-I didn't starve myself, ate ANYTHING but in small portions
(sweets, junks and anything I like)
-I walked around alot
U dont have to make excuses walk around in circles i do the same
-i eat happily and overall am happy again
Just watch something funny tbh the more I am sad the more i gain while eating less
-weight urself as less as u can
If i weight myself after EVERY meal or every day I'll get insecure
-Drink as much water as u can
Even if it makes u have a stomach ache cuz u drank more than usual, it'll make u move around more so it's better
-don't sleep too much or too less
I Sleep around 7-9 hours (or sometimes more depends on u) and will easily fall asleep when I'm craving food and I'm loving it lmao
That's all i can remember for now :)

I'm literally 13 and have the slowest metabolism. I work out every day, drink a lot of water, eat healthily. But I eat one carb or sugary thing and I look pregnant, for me, it's because of genetics.

[kimonobe]

Some people get things done all naturally without any effort. And some people just have to work really hard.
But, I think those who work hard will know the sweet after taste of their labor.

[fazeenaali]

She really knows what she’s talking about. I watched 3 of her videos and it adds up to everything I learned in my nutrition class.

[rosesarered]

Metabolism is like tiktok. Other put less effort and gain way more than you, while you put more effort but don’t recieve anything in return.

[mnk]

1. Increase muscle mass, weight train 2-3 weekly. Have: 1lbs muscle = 14kcal burn, 1lbs fat = 3kcal burn.
2. Swap steady paced cardio to HIIT, 30 min = 300kcal burn.
3. Don't starve yourself. Calorie deficit steadily.
4. Have plenty of protein in every meals. Has highest TEP, body burns more to digest it.
5. Black coffee good. Take before workouts, better.
6. Be active, stand up and walk every hour instead of sitting.
7. Drink plenty water. Best is to drink it first thing in the mornin.
8. Get enough rest. Not enough rest => Leptin decrease and ghrelin increase, more hangry.

This vid is so good. I felt I went and attended a class. And it’s just 10mins. She hits every point..thank you

[yourneighbor]

I have a friend who has high metabolism...
1. She sleeps all day.
2. She eats junkfood.
3. If not asleep, either watching tv or is on the phone.
4. ... Repeat. Cos those are what she literally just do.
Yet she when she eats, eats a 3-4 persons worth of amount of food. And still be thin af. Not slim. Thin!
As for me, i don't eat a lot. Tho i drink water a lot. I was a bit more active than her too. Since i had to do household chores and if im done with them, i go out and play outside with our neighbors (while she just look at us from the side because she's "too tired" to join in.) I play games like tag or we hang out at the community's playground. Literally hanging at the monkey bar. And yet i was the one who was always called the pig. Yeah i was fat.

That was when we were in elementary to high school. Now we're in our late 20's. She have 2 children. She still thin af. And me? College and now, work, is keeping me seated all day. So i became even more fatter. (-_-)

So i am baffled. And life is just very very unfair in this aspect. QAQ

[orangerafflesia]

I remember my friend saying, "Our goal is not to be just thin but be healthy."

[janjan]

Getting enough rest is impossible especially if you’re working in the medical field. We go on duty for 30-36hrs with little to no sleep at all.

[ayanara]

at this point i just need to learn how to love myself bc nothing is helping 😪

[whencjwrites]

“Get enough rest”

me: it's 9:44 am already and i haven't sleep yet.

[bunnytea]

this actually explained my situation rn i used to be soo thin before the pandemic but now im chubby. and its because i sit all day infront of a computer and not moving. time to change my habits i guess. This was very informative Thank you

It's nice to read these comments and see there are others naturally having to battle unexplained weight gains. I've always felt alone. Always been beating my head against the wall to lose a single pound. I just turned 30 and I blew my whole life away crying, and feeling horrible about my body because I couldn't control it in the least. It's at least nice to see there are others. But I'm sorry for anyone going through it. It's an awful thing you gotta take one day at a time and hope hope for the best.
