Getting metabolism up?!
Question:
Getting metabolism up?
My friend suffered from anorexia for about a year... she is now getting over it... we were wondering how she could get her metabolism up again to make it able to have 2000 cals a day without it being fattening. She works out already, an hour 5 days a week and always eats breakfast and things... will her metabolism ever be able to be the same or is it lowered forever due to starvation?
Answers:
she needs to eat meals every two hours, small ones, that way her body will not continue in starvation mode....
and let her try some fatty foods once a week, stop with the 5 day a week workout, too much, that is overtraining and can lead to catabolism, muscle loss. muscle loss tells body to slow metabolism......
try cardio three times a week and then weightlifting, that's a way to get metabolism up safer...
