Speed up your metabolism to lose weight

Your metabolism isn’t just slow or fast. Reality is more nuanced -- and holds much better news for you: You can actually train your metabolism to favor fat burn and help you lose weight.

Strategies for a Healthier Metabolism

When your metabolism can efficiently switch between burning fats and carbs, getting into fat-burn mode becomes easier, as does using carbs for energy instead of fat storage.

Rather than a "faster" metabolism, you’re after a more flexible -- or efficient -- metabolism.

Understanding how your everyday choices play into your metabolic flexibility is crucial. People respond differently to nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress, and these in turn impact how flexible your metabolism is and how primed it is for fat burn and weight loss.
