A member asked:

Could overeating reduce metabolism long term?

Dr. Humberto Quintana answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

YES: our body is used to consuming a certain amount of food at certain times during the day. Binge eating over a long period of time will retrain your body to get used to a certain routine and ur metabolism will eventually slow down.
