Why a Slowing Metabolism Probably Isn't Causing Your Weight Gain - It's More Likely Due To Diet And Exercise

 Many of us are carrying a little bit more weight now than when we were in our 20s. However, as tempting as it is to blame this weight gain on a slowing metabolism, that may not actually be the case, according to a study released last week in the journal Science.

 In this study, scientists found that once you adjust for weight and body fat percentage, metabolic rates remain stable from ages 20 to 60. What this means is that during that time, your body doesn’t change how many calories it burns just because of your age—instead, your metabolism is tied to your body size and the amount of body fat versus lean mass that you carry.

 Practically speaking, this means that if you are gaining weight, it’s not because your metabolism is slowing down. Instead, there are probably other factors at play, such as diet and exercise, which are all too easy to let slip in face of all the adult pressures that tend to hit when you are in your 30s and 40s.

 When you are faced with a stocked pantry of highly processed food after a long, exhausting day from juggling work, family, and other responsibilities, it’s easy to eat just a little bit more, while also struggling to find the time to get in the activity your body needs to maintain your muscle mass. Over time, this adds up.

I've noticed something the last few days.  Ever since I've been eating better and working out, I've been considerably warmer than usual.  I used to be chilly at work all the time-- nowadays, I find myself shedding layers and trying to subtly turn on the AC.  Last few nights I had to sleep with the windows open just to get to sleep, I was so warm.

Sure, spring has finally hit Indiana... but I find that I'm covered in a mist one or two times a day (not at the gym!).  Am I running some kind of low-grade fever as my body is changing and my metabolism is kick-starting?  I feel pretty good overall, maybe a bit fatigued.

... now that I think about it, maybe I'm just getting sick, haha! My appetite has all but disappeared yesterday and today-- I only eat when I feel like it's time for some fuel.  Is this the part of the process or?   Has anyone else experienced this?
