Boosting Metabolism: Low Calories & Exercise

AI Thread Summary
Consuming less than 1000-1200 calories for an extended period can lead to starvation mode, where the body slows down its metabolic rate to conserve energy. Increasing exercise can help boost metabolism, but it may not fully counteract the effects of prolonged low caloric intake. Strategies such as reducing calorie intake while increasing exercise or incorporating cold exposure could potentially help raise metabolism, but results may vary. It's important to approach these changes carefully, especially if there are concerns about eating disorders.

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.
