We\u2019ll also let you know how to reset your metabolism after 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Metabolism\"><\/span><b>What Is Metabolism?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolism is defined as a series of chemical reactions that are involved in maintaining the living state of the cells and the organism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK546690\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). In simpler terms, it is the process by which your body breaks down all the foods and drinks ingested, turning them into the energy it needs for day-to-day functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to weight loss and\/or weight maintenance, metabolism is important as it determines how many calories you can burn while you\u2019re at rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those with a faster metabolic rate can sometimes consume larger amounts of food without ever gaining weight, while those with a slower one tend to gain weight if they consume a similar number of calories. Those in the latter group may need to watch their calorie intake and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exercise in order to counter this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Reset_My_Metabolism_to_Lose_Weight\"><\/span><b>How Do I Reset My Metabolism to Lose Weight?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As seen above, a slow metabolic rate may slow down your weight loss and can make the entire process utterly frustrating. However, the good news is that there are some things you can do, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manage_your_stress_levels\"><\/span><b>Manage your stress levels<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a review published in 2022, researchers found that increased stress levels lead to metabolic dysfunction and metabolic alterations in both humans and rodents. This can increase your risk of metabolic disorders and illnesses and it also increases the likelihood of obesity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41574-022-00746-8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing stress levels can be done by taking a day off work, going on a vacation to de-stress, or simply taking some time out of your day to sit in a quiet place and meditate. Journaling is also another great way to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep_more\"><\/span><b>Sleep more<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has shown that sleep deprivation increases the risk of obesity and interferes with glucose metabolism and the hormones involved in regulating metabolism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1991337\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2929498\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Some people also believe that eating more often than the typical 3 meals per day helps keep your metabolism churning all day, which burns more calories throughout the day. Remember to keep within your recommended total calorie intake for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_active\"><\/span><b>Get active<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you go out for a walk, jog, swim, or opt for a HIIT workout, make sure to work out for at least 30 minutes a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_a_cup_or_two_of_coffee_or_tea\"><\/span><b>Get a cup or two of coffee or tea<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee and tea contain caffeine and catechins, which can rev up your metabolism, albeit temporarily. Try to limit your intake of tea and caffeine to the morning hours or early afternoons as drinking them later in the day may affect your sleep quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_to_reset_your_metabolism\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/8-2-1.png\" alt=\"how to reset your metabolism\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_it_Take_Your_Metabolism_to_Reset\"><\/span><b>How Long Does it Take Your Metabolism to Reset?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with everything else, resetting your metabolic rate takes time.

If you\u2019ve been consistently working out and eating well but your clothes are starting to feel a little tight or the scale is going up and not from increased muscle, it may be time to figure out how to reset your metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unexplained_fatigue\"><\/span><b>Unexplained fatigue<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re resting as much as you can and even going further to get the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep but are still waking up feeling slow, sluggish, and tired, it could be because your metabolism is slowing down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the body takes longer to break down food to give you energy, your energy levels are always low, which will make you feel more tired than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sugar_and_carb_cravings\"><\/span><b>Sugar and carb cravings<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re constantly reaching for sugary things and refined carbs, you may be dealing with a slow metabolism. A slow metabolic rate could be related to not eating enough calories, which can make you crave sugary and carbohydrate-filled foodstuffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun health fact: A <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/food-cravings-chart\/\">food cravings chart<\/a> can actually help you curb sugar and carbohydrate cravings.

An underactive thyroid is also associated with decreased thermogenesis, decreased metabolic rate, a higher body mass index (BMI,) and a higher prevalence of obesity. It is a medical condition that requires a diagnosis and treatment by a physician.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constipation\"><\/span><b>Constipation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve noticed that you\u2019re going to the bathroom less frequently and when you do, passing stool takes a bit of an effort, this could be due to a slow metabolism. As a result of the body\u2019s slower process of breaking down and processing food, anything that is ingested takes much longer to travel through the gastrointestinal tract. However, there are many factors that can cause or contribute to constipation, so you should talk to your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youre_finding_it_harder_to_lose_weight\"><\/span><b>You\u2019re finding it harder to lose weight<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could be that your progress was consistent for a while and then just suddenly stopped. This is known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/weight-loss-plateau\/\">weight loss plateau<\/a> and one of its causes is a shift in metabolic rate. The body no longer burns calories as fast as it did before and now you can no longer see progress despite maintaining the same healthy habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although these are all potential signs of a slowing metabolism, they can also all occur for various other reasons.

It all goes back to insulin levels in the bloodstream. The longer you go without eating or snacking, the lower your insulin levels drop. This prompts the fat cells in the body to release their stored fat, which is then used as energy by the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is sometimes referred to as metabolic flexibility &#8211; the ability to switch between the body\u2019s preferred energy source, glucose, and fat. However, it isn\u2019t clear how intermittent fasting affects overall energy expenditure. The body adapts in different stages to starvation, which includes changes in energy expenditure. If intermittent fasting helps with weight loss, it\u2019s more likely due to a decrease in energy intake, rather than an increase in energy expenditure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do you need to fast to reset your metabolism?
