Are you confused about metabolism? Is yours is slow or fast? And what does that even mean?
Metabolic imbalances affect at least 80 percent of adults in middle age and beyond. In pop health circles, the idea of fast or slow metabolism is often discussed, but this is misleading since overweight people technically have the fastest metabolism. A more accurate measure of metabolic health is based on five specific health metrics: waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
In this video we’ll debunk the fast vs slow metabolism theory, explain why metabolic health – not speed – is the goal, and reveal the weight loss and lifestyle tips that will help you to improve your metabolic health score. Let’s get started!

WHAT IS METABOLISM?
Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life. It involves the conversion of food and other substances into energy and the synthesis of new molecules necessary for cellular growth and maintenance. Metabolic processes are controlled by enzymes and occur in various parts of the body, including the liver, muscles, and body fat.
Metabolism can be divided into two main types: catabolism, which involves the breakdown of molecules to release energy, and anabolism, which involves the synthesis of molecules using energy. The rate of metabolism can be influenced by various factors, including age, genetics, hormone levels, and physical activity. So even if you are the same height, weight, and age as someone else, your metabolism – metabolic health – will be different.

Metabolic rates vary by less than 5% between individuals. The problem is needless dieting. When you deprive your body of food, you're training it to be more efficient at storing energy, so when you resume eating "normally" you'll get fatter.
over the past 2 years, I've Prolonged fasted up to 96 hrs & several 48 or 72 hr fasts that have broke any plateau I hit. At 53, I dropped to my USMC boot camp lowest weight about a year ago. Down over 100#. I've continued to fast when I want to drop weight. I took a break over the holidays & now I've got a combination of recomposition and fat gain to start over with a cut. But, I find generally sweets and carbs are the enemy! Or at least slow my digestion down to store more fat.
I think you are making a lot of sense. I have a slow metabolism and lost 30 lbs.
170g of protein doesn't seem moderate to me. That would be 850g of beef mince (ground beef). Even if I were eating 3-4 meals a day and was one of those guys at dinner, I'd have to be the one with only steak on the plate (perhaps two plates of steak).
If you have a slower metabolism, your appetite is typically lower, thus being slimmer. The slower metabolism person may appear to eat whatever lots of food and not gain an ounce. That’s a myth. People with smaller appetites may have a big meal in one setting, but may only eat that one big meal for the entire day. The next couple of days, they may eat much smaller. Their body will fight to get them back to their exact set weight, so their appetite gets smaller and smaller until their body reaches homeostasis.
3:08 surprised me because I came here for tips to loose weight and then you called the anorexic skinny guy 132 pounds which is my exact weight as a guy😂😭 I’m 5’6 tho so i’m probably still more fat
This channel is a gold mine. Thank you for this explanation with pictures, examples, and science backed knowledge!
So much conflicting info out there on this topic. Some doctors and "pros" recommend eating filling, low-calorie foods (mainly high water content foods like fruits and veggies) while others (like you in this video) recommend eating filling, calorie-dense foods that are high in protein. I'm starting to think there is no right answer, only the answer that's right for you.
I’ve been struggling with trying to lose weight for years! I’ve been eating 600-1000 cals a day for almost a year, and I have only lost 20 pounds. and if I eat like 50 cals over that limit, I will literally gain weight!! I realize now that eating so little calories is actually making it harder for me to lose weight, I just don’t know how to increase my calories in a safe way, I’m terrified of gaining more weight.
ha ha
eat what I want , only to almost full , never gain weight .
my secret ?
be 100 pounds overweight to begin with !
i would go through a military bootcamp, only eat healthy foods track and count cals and still not loose any w eight
but what if you're not hungry all the time and you eat 1600 calories and gain weight but don't have cravings 😭
What I understood:
– Chuck should Eat more protein to feel more full
– Chuck should sleep more
– Chuck not Stress more (Maybe exercise to control that stress)
In short, Barry did not have higher metabolism, he just got those 3 better.
In fact, the one who is higher in metabolism is the fat one because it takes more energy to maintain that weight
I blame big sugar or corn syrup
I eat 6 eggs 432 calories and then fruits so less than 1000 calories in total and still not losing weight just staying the same. I’m on day 5
Disagree with you, my wife 35 kg eats all the time and is always hungry. Myself 75kg hardly eats anything, don't feel hungry and can't loose weight
Fiber also increases satiety. Foods like beans have high amounts of fiber and a fair amount of protein too, and are very inexpensive as compared to meat. Consuming foods like beans can even lead to longer-term satiety due to changes in the gut microbiome.
Bread actually isn't so great in terms of satiety. Especially the typical processed white bread or even "artisan bread". It's very hard to get bread in America that's actually all that healthy, so it's probably best avoided, in favor of consuming a small amount of whole grains, like oats, brown or black rice, or barley or wheat berries (farro), etc.
It doesn't make sense, i eat 1300 calories a day most of the time, i have a normal life, like to walk, pretty active job and still am almost overweight. I am 5'4 and weight 143lbs
Me doing all the bad stuff's
Eating whatsoever I want
And sleeping by 3 am
And still mahd skinny
Thanks Lucas…working on my metabolic syndrom for a year❤
Thanks for the info. One question, when you eat one gram of protein should it be what you currently weigh or what your target weight is?
Best weight loss video ive found so far
I've listened to hours upon hours and this one is the easiest to listen to with best information and education
Hi Lucas. Thank you for this informative video on metabolism !
But regarding protein intake I would like to inform you that according to the current International Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) it is 0.8g/kg/day for normal people .
So for a person weighing 170lbs or 77.11kg, the optimum protein intake should be 0.8X77.11 = 61.68g of protein per day.
If the person is an athlete or a bodybuilder then it stretches from 0.8g to 2.2g per kg of body weight per day.

excellent video! thank you for sharing 😊
If you have low T3 levels like I do good luck loosing weight.
Great I’m up at 3 am watching this because I’m so anxious about life.
I was pretty much obese at one point in my life and always dieted and exercised to take it off, but got older and this time it wasn’t working.
Said screw it and tried working out harder and eating more but healthier. After 3 years of failing dieting and exercise, 2 years of intense workout and eating more, never being hungry cause i stuffed my face… I saw results after 6 months and lost 50lbs over 2 years and put on muscle. My gym partner is still struggling not following my approach.
I can now eat like a slob and not gain weight, it’s awesome. So eating less is definitely not the solution if you are mobile and can workout harder ,do it…
I pretty much worked out 3 times a week for 1 hour boxing and thats it. Ate healthier but more. Started with 2 minute rounds could only do 6 minutes total when I first started. Now doing 12×3 with one minute rest and warm up. Working my way to do more. First time in my life i can eat anything and not work out and not gain a pound since i was in my early 20s.
So kinda disagree with the eating less, seems to slow your metabolism
What about those of us who aren't really over-hungry and don't have cravings, but have put on some extra pounds in later stages of life (ie, female, 67yo)? Is there any special hormone balancing protocol? Thx!
Thank you, this was helpful but more importantly it is different
