A slow metabolism. The one they got from their mom.

When it feels sluggish, there is almost always a specific and reversible cause: chronic calorie restriction, muscle loss, poor sleep, or years of yo-yo dieting. The right strategy can change all of that.Can you actually repair a damaged metabolism?Yes. By slowly increasing calories to signal safety to your body, building muscle through progressive overload, and cleaning up sleep and stress, your metabolic rate adapts upward over 8 to 12 weeks. Energy and strength improve first, and fat loss becomes dramatically easier after that.Should I go into a calorie deficit to fix my metabolism?No. Cutting calories on a damaged metabolism makes the damage worse. The first step is eating at or near your maintenance level so your body upregulates, then entering a moderate deficit once the metabolic reset is complete.📱 RESOURCESInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/peri_fit_foodie/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeriFitFoodie/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@peri_fit_foodieWebsite: https://perifitfoodie.com/🔔 Hit subscribe for weekly videos on how to transform your body without restrictive dieting or medication.
