Is there a way to get, a fast motabolism? Options

[hpsm2]

Cause I tried eatting when I'm hungry (only a bit) to increase my metabolism so i would lose weight FAST. It doesn't seem to be working. Maybe just a lil cause to those people i havent seen in a while, they said i lost weight but I doubt it's because of the diet. I think it's because of school. School makes me walk 40 minutes a day to and from school.

I'm not actually overweight. Just kinda normal fatish. I weight like 135 pounds 5'4"='(

I don't think there's a way to "get" a fast metabolism. It's just how you are; it's not an acquired trait.

[blah1234567]

you cant...you can just lose the weight..just eat healthy and do 50-100 crunches every night. you wont see the results the first day though

[Looow]

LOL. I don't think you can ..

[d3s0lat3_Fa1th3]

Metabolism* is something that's inborn. It's a genetic trait, like a person's healthy weight.

Sorry.

exactly.... but lol i heard there were these protein bars can make people gain weight

[angelrevelation]

i think you do a little excercise at night to keep your metabolism burning as fast while you sleep... not sure though. i've also heard eating slower and with smaller bites helps you lose weight, at least not gain any

[Chii]

when you starve yourself your metabolism weakens...just to lt you know

[FireArrow]

exercise... you cant get a fast metabolism

[WrathOfOnigo]

You cannot increase your metabolism. Just eat healthy and work out so you can lose weight.

[MetalChick77]

You can MOMENTARILY increase it greatly by doing an exercise like using a spin bike. For the next few hours anything you eat afterwards will be used quickly (my gym teacher told me )

[lolthissiteisfun...]

I learned in school once that its better to eat six small HEALTHY meals a day, because that will speed up your metabolism, because your body gets used to having food every couple of hours, so it doesn't store as much of the food, it burns it off for energy. On the other side of that, if you only eat one meal a day, your body stores a lot of it, because it knows it might need an energy supply later since you aren't getting enough food and nutrients. but, school is wrong half the time, so who knows? But the six SMALL healthy meals a day thing, and exercise is probably a better way to lose weight in the long run then a weird diet, or starving yourself anyway.

[clarissa]

for me.. i'm basically eating all the time! but not a lot.. just a few snacks here or there.. like every hour. lol. i'm such a pig but my doctor said that because i'm eating healthy food every few hours, my metabolism is high.
so i guess you should try to eat whenever you feel hungry.. eat healthy and don't eat too much.

[mouse_3k]

some type of pills i guess

[*salcha*]

i think your metabolism is stuck with you throughout your entire life.
key word: ex.er.cise.
you don't even need to go out for a jog, you can just dance to music at home or jump rope.

[ANG33ZY]

I don't think you can.

[KissMe2408]

In order to get a faster metabolism, you have to eat when you're hungry...if you try to starve yourself, your metabolism will slow down. And if you excercise it will speed it up. But some people are just born with fast metabolisms, lol lucky them!

[xXirockhardXx]

Isn't fast metabolism something that your born with? I dont think you can make your metabolism work faster...

[jambaJUICE]

you know if you want to shit more, fiber makes you shit.

[ItzOnlySydney]

^ thatz real nice to know

diet pills. i swear.

[hpsm2]

shit? alright... it's just waste though.. all the others are digested already...

[eunie03]

Green tea is supposed to boost your metabolism, but I'm starting to think they're lying.

[Rogue_Ewok]

Drinking Red bull speeds up your metabolism.

[XxKrNqTcUiTyxX]

I heard spicy food boosts your metabolism. If you want to lose weight, just eat in moderation and excercise regularly.

[sportschick1]

see i had that problem. I used to be really big. I was 4'11'' and i weighed 160 lbs. If you wantto loose weight quickly drink water. But i booasted mine by exersicing. b/ced i played sports thats all i did and i lost 60 lbs. but when i dont exersise i do gain weight but only a few lbs. eating right helps to. i dont eat candy or candy bars i completly took them out of my diet. and i only eat liek sun chips or baked chips b/c of the whole grains. and you DO need carbs. like whole wheats and what not and on the plus side if you only drink water those 300 calories per 20z coke disappear and you can eat more to booast your metablisom

[xlaydee_v]

i don't know if this works..but my friend told me that is you mulitply your weight by 2, &add a 0, that's how many avg calories you take in. so if you eat less than that in one day, you'll lose one pound but you HAVE to eat or else it won't do good.

EXAMPLE= lets say you're 100 pounds
100x2=200
add a 0=2000 calories.
eat 1500 &lose a pound
