What would be the best way to get my metabolism back to normal after having an eating disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can Vary: Return to baseline metabolism can vary from 3 months to 2 years. It all depends on the type of eating disorder, how long you suffered, and your personal genetics. Many doctors and nutritionist have a metabolic testing unit in their office which can follow progression. I test and monitor every 2-3 months.
