You worry about a “ast metabolism or a slow metabolism? You can’t gain or lose weight, despite eating a lot or very little? You are really skinny and qualify yourself as a hardgainers? Or are overweight and believe you are diet-resistant and want to boost your metabolism? But is there really such a thing as a fast or slow metabolism? In this video we are going to have a look at the two components your metabolism is made up of, the BMR and TDEE, how size, age, gender and genes make your metabolism lower or higher, what role the amounts of muscle and fat mass in your body play in this and if you can really do anything to increase or decrease the whole thing. For those of you wanting to look into the scientific research about this topic, these papers should be an interesting read, as they highlight how similar people have similar BMRs and TDEEs and how people diagnosed with “diet resistance” failed to accurately assess how much they had really eaten: Lichtman SW, Pisarska K et al.

People totally misunderstand metabolism.
There is no metabolism that makes you fat or skinny.
Metabolism? is how fast the body works, people with fast metabolisms burn energy quickly and gain energy quickly.
Once you have a fast metabolism you will also get fat or thin faster than everyone else, but if that happens it’s more of a ‘broken metabolism’ because it means the gaining energy and using energy are completely mismatched.

@Mauriscinasa If I calculated correctly, then your BMI is 18.6. You are very close to being underweight, but not dangerously so at the moment. I’d say keep working out and do allow yourself a bit more sweets along with the healthy foods you eat. With your stats you need more than 2200? kcal / day to increase your weight.

I WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT SO FUCKING BAD!!! i would spend 5 hours working out on my muscles and my back and my Stomach. If only if i weight 200 pounds.Because people with? Fast metabolism is more harder then people with slow metabolism because even though they are fat no matter how FAT are they they could spend like 5 or 8 hours Working out. We skinny bastards Eat and we get full too Quickly! if we eat anymore we WILL vomit . Ya fat asses! can keep working out and you can keep going… ! :[

Genes are definatly the main factor when it comes to body fat. My brother is 21, drinks like a fish and? eats whole pizzas to himself and doesn’t gain an ounce, meanwhile I’m slogging my guts out down the gym, cutting all carbs and snacking on almonds and berries to stay slim, I mean WTF?

Well wtf?
What if I’m 6″3, 130 lbs, but despite being unable to walk for a month and a half and doing nothing but eating and sleeping (consuming about 3500-4000 calories a day) I didn’t gain a pound. I lost weight, in fact, approx. 25 pounds. I was 155 to start? with.

I really like your videos but i disagree with? you on this one. You are practically denying the existence of body types;
I think genes are the number 1 factor that influence your BMR;

@AdamBarcaParsons Nope, there isn’t. But you know what? Relax! Maybe you are slim, but I bet you are? 100% fit! One thing you could do, if you don’t already, train your muscles. Being as fit as you are that should look really good on you!

How can I tell if I have a fast? or slow metabolism? If I have slow, then can I still lose fat?
Evilcyber says:

@AdamBarcaParsons Yep, stop moving and keep eating as you do now.
Seriously, if you eat a lot and don’t gain? weight then you also are rather active.

@someone9906 Well, it’s either the exercising and the counting or eating less, eh?
The nice thing about the exercising is it? also makes you look good!
