In some articles, I read that insoluble fiber slows down your metabolism, making you feel full for a longer period of time.

In other articles, however, I read that in order to speed up your metabolism, you should eat foods containing dietary fiber (complex carbohydrates, fruit, nuts, etc).

I already eat plenty of dietary fiber, but I would like to understand its effects on my metabolism.

Thanks! (=

I’ve been on a strict diet, and my metabolism is probably slow from it. But today I ate a looooot of calories for lunch, and I’m supposed to be having a big dinner tonight. Will this day alone of bad eating make me gain weight? =/

I just received my acai berry pills today along with starting my gym membership. these pills claim to give energy as well as help lose weight. I’m doing my best to eat better as well. I have a problem with not eating much… ever. so my metabolism isn’t very good. My question is… Is it best to take the pills before I go to the gym? and I’m supposed to take 1-2 a day, is it okay to take both at one time? or do I need to spread them out?

I’m going to begin dieting soon after visiting my doctor (im seeing my doctor tomorrow.) I will ask his opinions/knowledge on dieting and diet pills, but i would also like some input from first hand experiences with diet pills and different forms of dieting. What are the best/fastest/atleast semi healthy pills out there and what do you use? I’m trying to lose weight on the faster side so im looking for something to help speed my metabolism up. All answers are appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!

I’m (female) 5’3, 21 yrs old, and usually around 125 lbs. Recently, just under a year, my metabolism changed and I gained around 30-35 pounds, with nothing in my diet and activity level changing during that period. I would really like to lose the extra weight, and possibly a couple more, while toning up quite a bit. I’ve been attending gym classes (like step, yoga, pilates, core, etc.) 5 days a week, each about an hour long. My diet has changed as I’ve cut out all meat (except seafood), sodas, fried foods, and sweets. I drink mostly water, and I don’t smoke or consume alcohol. I would like to lose about 35-40 pounds by June 1. Do I need to be doing more cardio? I also do a bit of weight training 3-4 times a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

They say it takes like 3000 something to lose a pound but I lose two pounds a day (continuously so I know it’s not water), when I’m eating 800 calories a day, and I know there is no way I’m burning over 6800 calories. Do you think perhaps I have a sped up metabolism?

I’m trying to cut fat, but I have a really fast metabolism and still need to take in a lot of calories so I don’t lose the muscle I’ve gained.

Ok so I want to lose weight, plain and simple. I’ve done the research and I know what to do so thus, I have come up with my own weight loss plan and would like some opinions on it. Here it is:

First off, I am an 18 year old male, about 5’8" and roughly 190 lbs. I have lowered my daily calorie intake to roughly 1500 with a diet consisting mainly of salads, fruits, grilled chicken with small healthy snacks dispersed throughout the day. I would only drink water and green tea. So all in all, I would be eating every four or so hours (to keep the metabolism going).

I would also be working out every day for about an hour performing about 30 mins of eliptical aerobics and about 30 mins of a full body workout. (My goal here is to tone, not really body build.)

My only concern with my plan is the daily calorie intake. Is it too low? I figured that 1500 from food minus about 500 from working out would only give me a net of 1000, roughly. My goal is to get to 170 lbs, at least, in two months.
But the weird thing is, even though the calorie in take is pretty low, I don’t feel as hungry as I thought I would be…

But ok. If I increase the daily calorie intake to 2000, roughly, would I still be losing weight and toning my body fairly well? I would like to lose at least TWO pounds a week.

I purchased Orovo Detox and have been taking it for about 5 days. I am not experiencing any of the side effects or symptons that I have read about (no racing heart rate, no increase in energy, no jitters). I am also not losing even an ounce of weight. I know a lot of weight loss pills "manipulate" your thyroid to increase metabolism, but I didn’t think this one was like that.

I am 5’7", 202lbs and quite muscular, but not all of my weight is muscle unfortunately, that’s what I want to get rid of.
According to web-based calculators I need 2400-2600 calories a day to maintain weight, or around 3000 with 3-5 sports activities weekly.
I am playing squash 2-3 times a week now and hit the gym preferably twice and sometimes I just do cardio when I don’t have the opportunity for anything else.
My plan is to lower my calorie intake to 2000 a day, but at least lower then 2400. (I don’t think I can go below 2000, it just doesn’t seem possible, that’s very little amount of food. I was also considering medifast, but that’s only 1000 calories per day and they prohibit sports)
My problem with this is that I have read that low calorie diet may slow down metabolism and that’s quite the opposite of what I want to achieve.
I also don’t really like a to eat a lot of vegetables(which is advised for weight loss) except for the most regular types, like tomato, potato, rice, lettuce, radish, cucumber, carrots, peas, beans etc. Those are what I like, but most of those are full of calories.
So do you have any useful suggestions or experiance about this? Also do you think if lowering calorie intake would work?

I’m 22, female, with about 10-15 lbs to lose. I lost 30 with dieting and not much exercise. After being sedetary for a year or so, I started working out slowly in January. For the past 2-3 weeks, I’ve been working out 4x a week for two hour sessions. 1 hour cardio + 1 hour minor weight training or yoga. I’ve been eating 1200-1500 calories, semi healthy food. I do small snacks to keep my metabolism up. (Like almonds, yogurt) Why am I not losing a pound? I actually gained 2. I understand that I’m building muscle but when will I start to see fat loss?

No matter how you lose weight, once you get down to where you want to be it shouldn’t be ‘that’ difficult to maintain it. During weight loss women are instructed not to consume less than 1200 and men not less than 1500 calories a day, which can be restrictive, but not ‘that’ much.

Once off the diet, the average female and male adult will burn 2000 to 3000 calories a day without making time for exercise. If you only eat three meals a day, then 665-1000 calories is a generous sandwich or plate with a drink on the side. If you include an hour of moderate exercise, you can add about 300-500 calories to your daily total.

I don’t think 4-6 small meals throughout the day is the way to go. Claims that it "revs" up your metabolism are by far overrated. It gets you thinking way more than you need to, promotes tooth decay, gets you looking at the clock, and doesn’t allow you to have decent sized meals.

Eating three meals a day, 4-5 hours apart, without bothering to look at the clock, and just having an idea of how many calories you’re consuming without having to pull a calculator out at every meal, seems to be the way to go. On ‘actual’ special occasions, you may eat thousands of calories over your approximate daily limit, but nobody ever became fat from this. I am talking from personal experience. What are your thoughts?
