Boosting Metabolism: Low Calories & Exercise

[never-enough21]

When a person consumes less than 1000-1200 for a long period of time, their body inturn goes to starvation mode right? And your metabolic rate slows down? Then, by exercising your metablism will increase. If you lower your intake but increase the amount of exercise (or even taken to the extreme, of taking cold showers, etc.) could you raise you metabolism back to it's original state?

I hope you're not asking this because you are anorexic.

While it is true that consuming less than 1000-1200 calories for a prolonged period of time can cause the body to go into starvation mode and slow down the metabolic rate, simply increasing exercise or taking extreme measures like cold showers may not necessarily bring the metabolism back to its original state.

The human body is a complex system and there are many factors that can affect metabolism, including genetics, age, hormone levels, and overall health. While exercise can definitely help boost metabolism, it may not be enough to counter the effects of severely low calorie intake.

In fact, drastically cutting calories and over-exercising can actually have negative effects on the body, such as muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies. It is important to maintain a balanced and healthy approach to both diet and exercise in order to support a healthy metabolism.

Instead of extreme measures, focus on incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods into your diet and engaging in regular physical activity. This can help support a healthy metabolism and overall well-being. It is also important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any major changes to your diet or exercise routine.
