Metabolism
just a few questions about Metabolism:
1) How do you know if you have a fast or slow metabolism?
2) Is there such thing as a "medium" metabolism?
3) If you have a slow metabolism, how can you speed it up?
4) Is there a way to go directly from a slow metabolism to a fast metabolism, or will you always stay what you are (even if you speed it up a bit)
Thanks:)

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
1. The most obvious way to notice is if you are one of those people that tends to gain weight easily (that would imply a slow metabolism) or vice versa.
2. Yes sure you have people with regular metabolisms. You should look at it more as a spectrum rather than three categories.
3. Yes. Exercise is a good way, particularly when it includes resistance training since that is a great way to increase lean muscle mass. Other things that also affect the metabolism are: exposure to a colder climate; certain foods (e.g. hot and spicy foods); eating frequently during the day; getting enough rest; drinking enough water.
4. You can affect your metabolic rate substantially. However it is not a change that occurs overnight and may require a lot of work. Now make no mistake, there is a strong genetic factor here, which will make it harder on some. However with discipline one can affect the body quite profoundly.
