A member asked:
Which factor is more predictive of lower weight better - a fast metabolism or regular exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are healthy: And your thyroid level is normal, there is no such thing as "fast metabolism" -- it's a lay term, not a medical one. Proper diet and exercise and keeping lean will help keep your metabolism normal and help prevent obesity. Only physical activity boosts metabolism.
