Ep. #859: Do You Have a “Slow” or “Fast” Metabolism?


Listen Later

This episode is about the speed of your metabolism. Many people have reached out to me over the years who were struggling to lose weight and who thought this was due to a “slow” metabolism.

Often the solutions offered involve taking special pills, following very restrictive diets, and pushing through punishing workouts. And when those strategies don’t work, these same people start believing it’s impossible to lose weight or keep it off.

Others have complained to me that their metabolisms are so “fast” that they can’t gain weight effectively—the so-called hard-gainer.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about both of those scenarios. The good news is while some people do tend to burn more calories than others, no one’s metabolism is so “slow” or “fast” that they can’t improve their body composition or maintain the body they really want.

So, listen to this episode to learn why!
