1. give your body enough food (intuitive eating)
2. reduce exercise, especially high intensity ones
3. get enough sleep, manage stress, practice good hygiene
Tysm I just found this video after struggling with an ed for months and I just got mostly better but thank you for this it helped me so much
Yes but if the body is used to burning less calories eating more will just increase body weight surely?. I thought there would be some type of gradual increase of calories
how about walking can i walk 1hour per day? pls any one answer
Can you help me? I’ve been keto for over a year. Now I eat maybe 500 calories a day. Some days more. I am happy at the weight I am at. I don’t want to balloon up
From bikini comps… yes. Now I’m messed up.
so… eat more, exercise less? yo yo dieting may kill me, but I'm not keeping this fucking weight. video not helpful. naturally i assumed this video was about healing your metabolism AFTER taking all the weight off.
My metabolism after overly restricting made me lose 10 pounds, but now I have literally gained 20 more pounds and feel absolutely disgusting
all i heard was eat more and don’t work out LOL im so confusseeedd
I love u, ur saving me from myself <3
So you are telling me to workout as much as you can AND eat as much as you can?
Thank you so much for this video. For how long should I hold back in exercise before I can start exercise again?
I’d like to share that medications effectiveness depends on metabolic factors
I hit a weight loss plateau where I cant get under 69 Kgs. I eat about 1700 Calories a day. But I still dont lose any weight anymore. Doesnt matter how many steps, Workouts a day I do. I just stay at the 69 to 71 Kg range
I was highly restrictive in my diet, even doing a doctor controlled protein sparing diet and also fasting frequently. I did that for 15 years; the thing is it is very hard to do and hard on the body, so about every 6 or 7 days, I would binge. I also over exercised. I was trying to lose 10 to 15 pounds. This was also horrible for my body, which became very efficient. I almost ruined my health; I even went through early menopause at 34 because of it. I lost so much muscle that I started to spasm in my shoulder and back muscles. I had my metabolism checked twice at Mayo. It was so low that Mayo wanted me to join a study program. But, no one asked me about my diet and what I was eating. Finally naturopathic medical doctor assessed all of my complaints and it was he who figured out what I was doing to myself. I am no longer at war with my food. I pretty much eat Mediterranean now. Now that I eat enough, I don’t have cravings. I don’t eat between meals unless it is for something special – I leave 4- 5 hours between meals. I exercise a lot as part of my horse farming lifestyle, but I also run and sprint for 30 minutes 5 days a week. I try to keep my stress down and get enough sleep. Fortunately, I repaired my body in time to avoid bone density issues. I am 75 now, and just had my second bone density test – all normal. I walk about 12,000 steps a day. Americans really need to develop a better, happier relationship with food and eat in moderation – anything they want – just not all on the same day.
Is it possible to reverse diet without weight gain at perimenopause time?
What if u don’t diet much but I still have 1100 of a metabolism rate from young I have only been under 50 kg for my entire life. I am vegetarian. My parents also have that less of a metabolism and are fine and I lose at least 400 calories in walking and do a little of weight lifting. will it increase my metabolism? I also am a person who doesn’t like donuts and don’t eat pasta that often.

how long does metabolism recovery take?
So if I eat more food over time dose that mean I can go back to eating more calories and still losing weight? Bc I’ve made my body kinda just think I’m starving and it’s trying to cling onto my body fat so
what if you're not hungry?
ackkkk I feel so dumb for restricting myself so extremely 😭
This explains literally all of my symptoms.. what have I done
I’ve had anorexia for 2 years, lost 20kg and have been eating less than 500 cals a day for months, any tips to fix metabolism is so appreciated. Should I start lifting weights?
This was so refreshing. Thank you so much ❤
Does this work with IF?
I haven’t lost my period but I’ve been hitting a plateau for about one month. I lost about 18 lbs or so and can’t seem to lose less no matter how intense the workout or the diet. I started eating more protein per the advice of persons of TikTok .
I lost a few more pounds but then I plateaued again. Is this still a sign of metabolic adaptation even though I did not lose my period ?
I'm an athlete, light weight but still gain body fat after a few days if I'm eating only 1800-1900 cal
Skip to minute 5 to hear the solution.
It’s crazy, I have struggled with anorexia and bulemia on and off for over 25 years taken diet pills and lost weight on adderal in college, and now, I am just so used to never eating that I do not get hungry but when I do eat, even if it’s something very little, I gain weight, it’s like I gain weight just thinking about food. It’s so crazy. I just don’t understand when I stop eating, I’ve seen the scale even go up. I just don’t even know what to do anymore. I have tried herbal supplements to help balance, my hormones and rev-up my metabolism.
I just don’t know what to think or do anymore
Been doing the diet for 8 days and didn't know that im doing crash diet and now i wanna fix it😭😭
I have seen a "diet" where you eat less for like 2-3 weeks and than eat normally for a week, that your metabolism stays fast/slows only a tiny bit and you also loose weight on the weeks you eat less. Is it ok if I already have a slow metabolism?
Great video, one I wished I found much earlier. I would highly recommend anyone starting a weight loss journey know this before they begin as it helps great deal!
My own experience in metabolic adaptation is as you suggested. In order to get it back to steady I had to clean up my diet by removing everything that my body had a hard time processing. Drink the correct amount of water, eat at the same times, correct my sleep routine, go from sedentary to walking 30 minutes a day. I stuck to that for one year and was greeted by wonderful hunger pains for the first time since I was a teen!
girl i hope you don't actually use that much toothpaste as in the first example!! 😅
I've had an ed (b/p) for 5 years+ idk if my metabolism is damaged or not but im too scared to eat and risk gaining weight. Im not underweight im maintaining even though im eating very small amounts aside from my binges that i dont keep down.
Work out with weights and eating enouf
Hi Colleen, i have a question. So im a 13yo struggling with anorexia, and trying to recover! The thing is, ive been eating under 700 calories (mostly 400, 500 or 600 a day) for weeks now, and im not sure how many i personally need. i know this isnt enough, but i seriously dont know how much cals i need in a day. Im getting professional help from a dietian soon, but the waiting list is reaaaaallly long and i dont know how much i should eat till then. ive tried doing tests and google how much i need for my age (13 yo, 163 cm and around 51 kgs) but EVERY single site says something difference. what would you reccomend?
I damaged my metabolism in many ways but my thyroid – when I was plant based I would eat so much broccoli, cauliflower and beets and couldn’t absorb iodine.
How to tell my metabolism is healing
It’s nice to know I can eat food because I love eating food
will i gain weight?
My body has no problem stabilizing my weight and maintaining it when I’m extremely overweight but when I lose weight it won’t stabilize. I’m either gaining or in a calorie deficit and losing weight.
can you be a intuitive eater while still losing weight in a healthy way?
