Whilst genetics does have a big influence over your metabolism that does not mean my article is wrong. I agree that comment number 4 is wrong and have edited the beginning of the article to highlight this error. However, most alcoholic beverages and sugary foods have a low thermic effect meaning they do not burn as many calories during digestion as other foods. Furthermore, a sedentary lifestyle means that you do less physical activity and therefore burn less calories and build less muscle than an active person. This also has a negative effect on your metabolism. If you read my more recent articles on metabolism you will see that I state your basal metabolic rate (BMR) has the biggest influence over your metabolism. I also state that your BMR is mainly a product of your genetics. Whilst it has the most significant impact over your metabolism that does not mean it is the only thing that can affect your metabolism. The factors listed in this article will still slow your metabolism to some degree. Thanks for the comments.

I'm very healthy person, eat very healthy food since I'm a child and do a lot of sport, my BMI is 18%, for a woman is very good, but have a slow meatbolism, and I do not eat unhealthy food as described above. It is genetic and it is not bad. Wrong!

Yes I know what you are saying. I really need to re-visit this topic and set the record straight. I wrote these when this blog was just starting out and at the time I had read a lot of articles suggesting that multiple meals could boost your metabolism. Since then I have read a lot of articles that say multiple meals do not help boost your metabolism. I've just not got round to doing it yet. Hi Scott. Yes I know what you are saying.

I'm not completely sold on the idea of intermittent fasting just yet. I can try and dig up a link - but I found a site once that had a compilation of a number of studies on it. From what I've seen the results were very mixed, even contradictory I've seen some that showed an positive change in glucose tolerance, some that showed the exact opposite. I'm very interested in this, but I'm not sure the evidence either way is convincing yet I agree – I need to revisit it too. I’m not completely sold on the idea of intermittent fasting just yet.

I have read a lot on the topic of meal frequency recently and am starting to realise I may have been wrong when publishing these posts on metabolism. I am planning to revisit the topic but just haven't got round to it yet. Thanks for commenting Chris.
