It’s different for everyone, it’s mostly dependant on your genetics, diet and lifestyle. Typically they say between 20-60 years old it starts slowing down, dropping 1% each year.

Sounds about right. I used to have a pretty fast metabolism but starting in my 20’s I needed to begin watching what I ate more carefully.

@dynamicyandere I wonder why it slows down when you become an adult?

I haven’t dove into the science of it, but I’m guessing it has something to do with adolescent hormones and also probably because our bodies are constantly growing and going through changes which probably takes up a lot of energy. But once we’ve reached our 20’s our bodies aren’t going through as much rapid change and things are slowing down and switching to more maintenance.

But, (this part I do know) we can still improve or revamp our metabolism, and have an even stronger metabolism later, but that will be manual — not automatic — and requires very intentional and strategic diet and exercise.

Mine has always been fast. Started slowing down last year.

In general usually it is 35 years of age and above.
