Is Your Metabolism Broken?

Frustrated with a lack of fat loss? Feel like you’ve tried everything with zero results? Looking for a way to finally improve your health?

If you answered yes, yes, and yes—this week is for you! Here at Healthy Life, we’re taking a deep dive into all things metabolism.

Fact or Myth? Cheat Meals Boost Metabolism

One of the most common questions people ask is whether a cheat meal can give your metabolism a boost. While it’s true that eating more calories occasionally can temporarily raise energy expenditure, it’s not the magic fix some believe it to be. The real key lies in understanding what actually controls your metabolism—things like muscle mass, hormone balance, activity level, and sleep quality. Supporting it doesn’t require extremes or fad diets; it’s about building consistent habits over time. In most cases, what people think of as a “broken metabolism” is really a reflection of lifestyle patterns rather than a permanent problem.
