What are signs that your metabolism has speed up?

Answer 1

If you want a number and want it to be accurate, go and get your metabolic rate measured professionally (like with a MetaCheck device).

If you want a number that is a general ballpark kind of value, you can use an equation like the Harris-Benedict equation for the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of an 'average' individual:

Men: 66.5 + (13.75 x weight in kg) + (5.003 x height in cm) - (6.775 x age in years)

Women: 655.1 + (9.563 x weight in kg) + (1.850 x height in cm) - (4.676 x age in years)

Then you can use the number to calculate how many calories you can eat per day and maintain your weight depending on your level of exercise: 1.2 x BMR with little or no exercise, 1.375 x BMR with light exercise 1-3 days a week, 1.55 x BMR with moderate exercise 3-5 days a week, 1.75x BMR and 1.9x BMR for heavy and very intense exercising.

Answer 2

Signs that your metabolism has sped up include increased energy levels, faster weight loss, improved digestion, and feeling hungry more frequently. Other signs may include feeling warmer or breaking out in a sweat more easily.

Answer 3

You'll have to see your local dietician, doctor, physician, etc. Frustrating I know, but that's the best way :)

Answer 4

Eating more while not gaining any weight.
