Facts about Metabolism

Diet can slow down metabolism

Any weight-loss diet would slow down your metabolism. That is partly because a drop in weight would make you lose muscles and fat, which eventually reduces your metabolic rate. In addition, there are some foods and ingredients in the daily meal that can bring the same effects. These include wheat, dairy, corn, soy, caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, and fried foods. For this reason, make sure to plan a healthy diet and combine with other methods such as working out or taking supplements to ensure a healthy body during your regimen. [5]
