This doesn't seem to line up anecdotally;
The first outlier I see is female health and PCOS, starting in mid 20s for women.
The next outlier I see is insulin resistance and pre and diabetes based metabolism decline.
From a hormone perspective, nose, ear, chin (femalr), and head hair seem to be going under significant change.
- fortran77 3y agoThis is caused from eating too much, not a decline in “metabolism”
- tristor 3y agoInsulin resistance and PCOS absolutely have effects on metabolism. It’s very well studied.
- smileysteve 3y agoSo, the combination of the research and my anecdotes - and your response seems to be That by our early 20s our metabolism has already slowed (sugary food, alcohol, precipitous drop in activity)
- fortran77 3y agoNo, our metabolism isn't "slow" (for 99% of people). People just start eating much more and moving much less.
- wredue 3y agoMid 20s with when your lifestyle shift just starts to catch up to you. You go from a more active young person that eats just enough to get back to hanging with friends to binge drinking in an instant. Then you go from that to a much lazier, snackier lifestyle of 9-5. Yeah, people on the whole do get fatter in their 30s, but that’s very easily linkable to lifestyle.
