Question: What does a fast or slow metabolisim mean?
I think a fast one means you don't get fatter as easy as people with a slow one but I'm not sure.. help?:)

Answers:

In lamen's terms it simply means that you have the ability to burn the fuel (food) in your body faster (high) or slower (low). Metabolism is just the state of converting food to energy.



A fast metabolism burns more calories than a slow one, activities effect it and other factors can to. (like genetics or even drugs can effect it) hope this helps.

Slow means you get fatter faster. If you have a really slow metabolism then you'll sometimes gain more the weight of your food.
