In this video, I want to answer the question, “does skipping meals worsen your metabolism?”

Fasting and intermittent fasting is when you decrease your number of meals. Fasting lowers the hormone called insulin in your body. Insulin controls a fat-dissolving enzyme known as hormone-sensitive lipase. This is a fat-burning enzyme.

What this means is that high levels of insulin block the fat-burning enzyme.

When you lower insulin, you trigger the three most important fat-burning hormones:
• Growth hormone (GH)
• Glucagon
• Noradrenaline

High insulin conditions include:
• PCOs
• Obesity
• Metabolic syndrome
• Diabetes
• Cushing’s syndrome

Those with these conditions have a low metabolism.

If you want to slow down the metabolism (and gain weight), consume frequent small meals that are high in carbohydrates and low in calories. This is going to cause seriously slow metabolism and increase weight gain. These diets just don’t work.

Fasting does not slow your metabolism—it boosts it.
