A member asked:
How do i know if my metabolism is fast or slow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The only thing: That really can affect your metabolism, other than physical activity and obesity which you can address, is thyroid hormone level which is easy for your doctor to check w/a blood test if indicated.
