30 Everyday Habits That Can Make Your Metabolism Slow Down

Dieting

When you go on a diet, you restrict the food that you eat. This often, if not always, results in ignoring your body’s hunger and fullness cues, cravings, and other ways it’s trying to speak to you. If your body needs more fats, it’s going to be hungry for something fatty. If it’s yearning for carbs, you’re going to feel like eating something with carbs.Your metabolism is on full speed when your body feels nourished, satisfied, and satiated. When your body is deprived, its metabolism slows down: It wants to preserve the limited amount of necessary nutrients it’s getting.
