Lately, I’ve been hitting a wall with weight management and energy levels, and I keep wondering if my body has just adapted to the way I’ve been eating. Some say calorie restriction over time can slow things down, while others argue it’s all about exercise and strength training. That’s why I’ve been curious about how to restart your metabolism in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and actually works.

Has anyone here tried increasing calories slowly (reverse dieting) to boost metabolism? Did you notice real changes, or was it more about consistency? What about exercise—does adding more weight training make a bigger difference than just doing cardio?

I’ve also heard sleep and stress management are key. Can poor sleep really stall your metabolism, even if you’re eating healthy? And does stress have a big enough impact to undo all the progress?

I’d love to know your personal experiences. What daily habits, food choices, or workout changes helped you feel like your metabolism was working better again?
