3 Things You Can Do Today to Lose Weight With a Slow Metabolism According to an Expert Discussing metabolism has become more mainstream over the years especially in the health and wellness world which is why its important to fully understand what metabolism is and how your metabolism works. If you have a slow metabolism (weve got more on how to determine that in a bit) Holly Lofton MD director of the medical weight management program at NYU explained what you can do to lose weight and boost your metabolism. But before you get any further weve got to break down what metabolism is and how it works. In its most simplistic form your metabolism controls your bodys ability to produce energy from fat sugar protein and how it stores that energy. Typically when metabolism is discussed people are referring to their metabolic rate how much energy/calories your body burns in a period of time. Related: This Is the Surprising Thing That Happens to Your Metabolism When You Lose Weight Its a common assumption that a slow metabolism is at the root of struggling to lose weight but before you jump to conclusions youve got to figure out if you actually have a slow metabolism or not. Dr. Lofton suggested using an online metabolism calculator or an app where you can input your vital statistics (height weight age and gender) to determine your metabolic rate. Apps and online calculators will give you an approximate number but in order to find out your exact metabolic rate you should get a resting metabolic rate (RMR) test. Currently these tests are offered only at specialized clinics like Fitnescity and cost around $250 (prices may vary depending on your location). Once youve got your results Dr. Lofton said there are a few action items you can implement immediately to improve your metabolism.
