How do I fix my metabolism?

[Anonymous]

So I have been obssessed with losing weight this whole entire year, I have done and tried practically everything, diet pills(I stopped) water fasts(done a few but stopped) juice fasts, eating 500 calories and less a day, I realize that its bad now, so I am wondering, am I screwed, or are their ways for me to fix the damage I have done to my body.

well as bad as this ight sound don't fight your body to much because it really could mess you up, but here are some things that should help you.

Exercise- cardio, danicing, swimming. Have a good schedule. And work your way up.

Make sure to cut out all the extra breads ( note the word extra ) :)

Also all the sugary foods and excess soda isn't good for you.

Oh and cut down on red emat, Beef is like the devil haha

Just try chicken over beef, sweet potatoes over russet's

stuff like that, it will take time but with a diet change and good body plan you will do fine

:) stay healthy and happy

Build up some muscle, muscle burns more calories resting than fat does. Do muscle exercises like using dumbbells and push ups and whatnot. Those will help raise your metabolism. Start feeding your body again, exercise as usual. Eating a normal amount of calories a day like 1500, it really depends on your age who many you need. But that is usually the standard amount. Once your body is out of starvation mode it will fix itself, or it should. But just try to keep healthy habits, like eating more than 500 calories a day. The muscle exercises should help!

To fix it, start eating healthy again. That means lots of fruits and vegetables, some meat, lots of water, etc. On top of that start exercising. You should be able to lose weight. Also remember that when your exercising, you have to be at a certain pace to be losing fat.

Amping up your metabolism actually requires that you eat more and exercise on a regular basis. You haven't totally screwed yourself, and you can still change the way your body loses weight.

Just start eating healthy & exercise moderately. Don't over do it, eat the recommened amount of calories, get all your vitamins/minerals, & keep active. Losing weight is not supposed to happen quickly, if you want real results, it takes time.

exercise. It increases your metabolism and drink a lot of water.
