Metabolism

[tvan614]

Hi there!

Does anyone have any insight on how metabolism after recovery works?

I feel as if where I am currently, I am having large portions and snacks, but am afraid that my metabolism will eventually completely slow down and I will have to eat less and less. Or will I still be able to consume the same amount.

I've heard that once recovered, your body may require more energy or calories than you had eaten "pre-disorder"

Once again, any insight on metabolic rate or information on metabolism would be greatly appreciated.

Heya, sorry you didn't get any response to this sooner. I'm afraid my response isn't going to be much help either, but from what I understand it is thought that once you a properly weight-restored, the metabolism should return to what it was pre-ED.

Have you seen a dietician at any point in your recovery? They might be able to advise further.

Wishing you all the best in recovery :)
