Metabolism??

Question:

I need to know what happens when you have a fast metabolism? and a slow metabolism? In which one do you gain weight faster and slower??

Answers:
If your metabolism is fast, you burn calories faster. Slow, slower. Whether or not you gain weight depends on how much you eat in relation to your metabolism. Here's the kicker though on dieting: if you diet to lose weight, your body will slow it's metabolism to defend the fat and keep from loosing it. In fact, it's very difficult for this reason even with certain drugs like Orilstat to loose more than about 10% of your body weight and keep it off. Here's another problem: as you age your metabolism gets slower. At about 18 to 22 years old, it takes a nose dive.

Other Answers:
you can gain weight faster with a slow metab, and loose it, maintain it, or have trouble keeping weight on with a faster metab..you can speed up or slow down your metab based on your lifestyle and how many times a day you eat, and of course what you eat..
