I have an ulcer, will my metabolism slow down if I don't eat as much?!
Question:
I have an ulcer, will my metabolism slow down if I don't eat as much?
Well my question has a few parts:
1 Will not eating as much as I used to slow down my metabolism?
2 How little food do you have to eat in order to have your metabolism slow down?
3 Would exercising keep my metabolism up even if I don't eat? (I don't see how your body could burn less calories by doing the same ammount of work, just because of not eating as much.)
4 If I ate really small portions like 7 times a day, would it be okay to eat less than, say 1500 calories?
Thanks in advance...
Oh and the reason, why I'm not eating as much, is that most foods irritate the ulcer, which, if you've ever had an ulcer, you know it's quite unpleasant.
Answers:
Are you on medication to heal the ulcer? If not, you should be. If you're on medication, then it won't be long before your stomach starts to feel better. So during the relatively short time it'll take for your medicine to help your stomach, your metabolism won't slow down much, if at all. But, get at least 1500 calories---that's just the healthy way.
