I believe my newborn has a high metabolism?
Your baby may have a high metabolism, but every baby should be back to birth weight by the age of two weeks. If you are breastfeeding, she should be awakened every 2-2 1/2 hours during the day and go no more than 3 hours between feedings at night (and 2 1/2 hours between feedings is preferable). It will also help to switch sides every 5-7 minutes, so she nurses at least twice on each side.. If you are breastfeeding more frequently, you can gradually discontinue to supplement.. It is very important that the baby to be fed frequently during the day and night-8 times in 24 hours is not enough, especially for a baby who is not gaining sufficient weight. If you need help with breastfeeding-and it sounds like you do-contact a lactation consultant or experienced La Leche League leader.
Does a high metabolism affect how much you sweat?
Aside from being the first one to start sweating in the gym, I can start sweating even when I'm just standing outside in the sun or even sitting indoors. I have a fast metabolism, so I'm thinking this must be the reason. I also get extremely cold during the winter. I can understand that, but wouldn't having little fat make me much more cool in warm conditions? It just seems like I get the worst of both types of weather.
How can you gain weight if you’re really skinny and have a fast metabolism?
“really skinny and have a fast metabolism?”Sorry but that’s an oxymoron.Skinny people do not have fast metabolism. Skinny people actually have slower metabolism than average people do because skinny people lack muscle mass and there’s not much mass for their bodies to support; therefore, skinny people’s bodies don’t require a large number of calories for maintenance.You think you have a fast metabolism, but you don’t.If you really do have a fast metabolism, you would not have a problem with gaining weight. People with fast metabolism crave for large meals everyday without gaining weight, but that does not mean people with fast metabolism can eat unlimited food.Everyone’s body has limits. Yes, that includes you.Everyone knows gaining weight is all about eating surplus calories. Nothing to do with your metabolism.You know those bodybuilders who eat like 5,000 calories everyday to maintain their sizes? Those guys have fast metabolism. You think those guys can’t gain weight? You think those guys have always been the same sizes? If those guys want to gain weight, they can gain weight with no problem.If you have a fast metabolism, your life will revolve around eating large meals everyday. People with fast metabolism have no issue with eating surplus calories.Just because you occasionally eat a large meal, that does not mean you have a fast metabolism. Literally everyone eats large meals every now and then. Does that mean everyone has fast metabolism? No.Increase your calories and keep track how much food you’re eating, you’ll gain weight. Problem solved.
Women: is eating whatever you want without gaining weight one of your dreams?
No, not at all. I've struggled with my weight and relationship with food for most of my life. To ‘eat whatever I want' without gaining weight is an ugly and narrow stereotypical view of what a woman, even a fat woman, would ‘dream' of. It is at the core of fat-shaming and reflects the misguided notion that the worst thing that happens to your body when you eat whatever you want is gaining weight. It's not.It's not healthy to be heavy. Thin people are assumed to be healthy. That's not necessarily true. Fat-shamers bully under the guise of being all about health. They're not. Whenever somebody has made a rude remark about my weight, they're never even pretended to actually be concerned over my blood pressure or potential to becoming diabetic or developing heart disease. It's over pant size, societal expectations, appearance, being pretty, being pleasing to men, sexual attractiveness… but never about health.I want to be healthy. I want a healthy relationship with food, not this adversarial one. Eating whatever I want wouldn't satisfy any of those because if all I wanted to eat was healthy, it wouldn't need to be a dream.
Why can't I lose fat around my belly if I exercise (Insanity program) a lot and eat healthy, small portions of food 5 times a day? What am I doing wrong?
First, you need to do a general blood test, in addition to the Thyroid profile. If there is something wrong, you need first to fix it, otherwise you are wasting your time and effort, moreover, you are doing a non reversible damage to your body.If every thing is OK, then you need to focus on the diet first. If you have horrible kind of diet, you will never be able to lose fat, whatsoever workout you are following. Workout with bad non strategic diet will make things worse. You will be ended up gaining both muscles and fat, OR losing both, especially if you are above 30 years old, due to the changes in hormones profile.A good diet that will allow you to lose fat is calculated based on your TDEE (Total Daily expenditure of energy). To calculate your TDEE, you need to know your BMR (Basil metabolism rate X your activity including your targeted workout through the week). Please see TDEE calculated in any search engine.After calculating your TDEE, which will take you around 2 weeks to make sure you are good with calories numbers, you need to go below your TDEE by 15% maximum, thus the calorie deficit will not cause you too much stress and affect your cortisol hormone to be released too much, putting you under too much stress.Moderate carbs (30%), moderate protein (30%) and high fat diet should be your style if your objective is to lose fat. Remember that your objective is to stabilize your insulin to burn more fat, that is why 30% carbs should be max.Your workout should contain resistance training and cardio. The resistance training should be a kind of compound exercise full body for 3 days week.Although I am hypothyroid patient, with a deficiency in hGH (which means it is almost impossible to lose fat), I have lost almost 30 kg by following such a method.All the best!
Why am I so skinny even though I eat a lot?
Because you don’t eat a lot.Everytime you ask a skinny person “why are you so skinny?” They always say something dumb af like “oh I have a fast metabolism I eat a lot and can’t gain weight derrr.”Ridiculous.Being skinny has nothing to do with body fat percentage nor does it have anything to do with metabolism.Would you call guys who are ripped or shredded “skinny”? No.Skinny people do not have fast metabolism. Most skinny people actually have lower metabolism than the average person does because there’s not much mass for the body to support. Being skinny is a lot more related to muscle mass rather than your fat mass. Muscles burn 3 times more calories than fat burns. Skinny people lack muscles so they obviously do not require a large amount of calories to maintain their sizes.If skinny people really do have fast metabolism, they would not say “I can’t gain weight.” They would say “I can’t lose fat” because people with fast metabolism eat almost nonstop everyday. Obviously, skinny people are not like this at all.See this guy?This is Furious Pete. He has a fast metabolism. He eats this much all the time without looking fat af.If skinny people eat half this amount everyday, they would gain fat like crazy.Yeah, “skinny people have fast metabolism” lol.Skinny people are skinny because they don’t eat that much and they don’t lift. Most of their body fat percentages are actually a lot higher than you would expect because skinny people’s lean body mass is really low.
