How do you know if you have a fast or slow metabolism?
Like how can you tell and are there ways to speed it up?
I heard about green coffee bean extract helps and so does green tea.

You can be tested but you should also know that it's highly unlikely that you have a slow metabolism.
The only way to speed it up is through increasing muscle mass and that increase is not that significant.
Green coffee been extract is snake oil and will do nothing but speed up the rate at which your bank balance dwindles.0 -
if you dont have thyroid issues then your metabolism is fine.
there's no need to speed it up0 -

^^^This. You can drink green tea if you like to drink green tea, but I wouldn't drink it expecting it to do anything drastic for your weight loss.0 -
Green tea extract is a waste of money. If you post your wieght loss/gain goals, people will give you some good advice.0

You probably don't.
It's not worth the time and effort and probably not.

Eat 1 pound of steak. Then time how long it takes before you have to take a dump. Weigh your dump in ounces and divide that by the time to get your metabolic rate. 7 is average for most people
Metabolic rate = weight of dump (oz) /time between eating and dump (minutes)0 -

sorry but this made me laugh :laugh: (not 'cause i think it's wrong, just 'cause i can't imagine doing that..lol)0 -
Green tea extract does not speed up metabolism, and neither does any food or other drink. Weight lifting and cardio do.How do you know if you have a fast or slow metabolism?

Yeah.....right.Eat 1 pound of steak. Then time how long it takes before you have to take a dump. Weigh your dump in ounces and divide that by the time to get your metabolic rate. 7 is average for most people

Time to digest does not equal metabolism.
Getting your RMR tested isn't going to tell you anything you can't learn yourself from a month of intake and weight tracking.0 -

Does it matter what kind of steak ? What if I want something a little more marbled... :laugh:0 -
The only way you can really estimate it is by calculating TDEE calories by a good calculator - live off that for a week to a month, and if they are too low and you lose it's possible you have a faster than average metabolism - but these always have to be taken with a pinch of salt, there are a lot of other factors which aren't necessarily taken into account. Your estimated activity levels could be wrong and cause you to lose or gain etc.
And if you like green tea drink as much of it as you like, but if you hate it don't force yourself to as it's unlikely to do anything significant. Personally I drink it in excess but that's just a habit and it's healthy.0 -
Corn might be a little easier to recognize. Or anything with bright colored, non-digestible parts. Legos? :happy:Eat 1 pound of steak. Then time how long it takes before you have to take a dump.
