Do you have a high metabolism?

My metabolism sucks. I always had to work hard to not gain a thousand pounds...now that I am getting older it is much harder...my brother and some friends are those little skinny people that eat 24/7 and don't gain an ounce...makes me ill I tell ya! lol The only thing I can suggest is exercise...that is what I do to try to maintain...

tips to increase metabolism! 1. Get active - it’s a sure-fire way to increase the amount of muscle you have, which in turn will speed up your metabolism. Do a mixture of aerobic and resistance training for best results. And don’t forget to be more active in your daily life too. 2. Eat little and often - there’s evidence that eating small, regular meals throughout the day, rather than one or two large meals, may help to keep your metabolism ticking over. Surprisingly, around 10 percent of the calories we use each day go on digesting and absorbing food - so the more times you eat, the greater this effect is likely to be. 3. Eat plenty of protein-rich foods - research shows that around 25 percent of calories in a protein-rich meal may be burnt off. But make sure you choose low-fat protein foods such as lean meat, skinless chicken and low-fat dairy products. 4. Spice up meals - it’s not an old wives tale after all! Spices like chilli are thought to raise metabolism by up to 50 percent for up to three hours after eating, due to increasing your heart rate. But before putting the local Indian takeaway on speed dial, work out which curries have the lowest calorie and fat content. 5. Swap you daily cuppa for green tea - there’s evidence that it contains antioxidants that speed up metabolism. 6. Try a CLA supplement - more extensive studies need to be carried out before any definite conclusions can be drawn, but research has shown that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) might increase muscle and therefore boost metabolism. 7. Chill out - research shows that being very cold can increase metabolism by up to 20 percent. 8. Have a sauna - being very hot is also thought to boost metabolism by about 20 percent (but check you don’t have any underlying medical problems that mean you shouldn’t go in saunas or steam rooms). Hope this article will help you build and speed up your metabolism

metabolism slows down as you age, I was the asme used to be able to eat most anything when I was younger, now I have to be more careful. Exercising in the morning and eating breakfast can help increase your metabolism, and I've read that having some lemon squeezed in with some warm water is good to get the metabolism kick started in the morning, but I haven't tried that yet

I think green tea helps. I saw a show that said it worked whether you took it in pill form or as a drink. Vitamin C can help you feel better, but I don't know if it'll help with losing weight. Eating healthy and exercise help with your metabolism too. I just quit buying all the junk food. If it's not here to eat, then I don't eat it! Walking is a quick, easy exercise. Hope this helps?

If you don't already, start doing some strength training (weights). This strengthens and builds muscle, and larger muscles require more calories. This means you'll be burning more calories not just when doing weights, but throughout the day, even when you're at rest.

My metabolism sucks. It is very low. I began using vitamins from Andrew Lessman. They have really helped me with my diet and all the ingredients are natural. If you like to learn more about it you can visit www.hsn.com and it's called Andrew Lessman Energy & Fat Metabolism item number: 125-218.

not since i turned 40 but now i drink more juices high in citric and anti oxidents-tomato juice not from a concentrate is the best but watch out for those high in sugar or just add lots of water this has been workin well for me

SO & SO

Yes i do

i don't have a high metabolism.i have poor metabolism actually.you should have to eat food that's not easy to burn i guess.also, drink multi vitamins to boost your appetite

My metabolism is kind of medium i guess. I wish it was higher though! I have heard that your metabolism slows down when you get older, or at least it seems right when I look at my parents and there lives.

Metabolism is regulated by your brain, as most of you is... Diet, exercise, vitamins all play a part. Eating small meals often kick starts your metabolism. Short spurts of exercise are just as effective if not moreso than long hours at the gym. I recently read that as women age Vitamin C plays a big part in avoiding weight gain or reducing weight. Eating according to your age helps too. As we get older our bodies digest and utilize food differently than it did when we were young.

I have a slow metabolism but I exercise a lot.

Yes i do

yes because it i lean

unfortunately no, I wish!

I hate my metabolism.

Do a lot of exercises. Go for a power walk once a day. And you will be surprised to see how your weight gets reduced. And follow a very healthy diet, after discussing with your doctor.
