Question
Hi i am a 17 year old female. i so far have not eaten in 5 days. if i take metabolism boosters will it still slow down? like green tea ones?

Answer
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for your question! Yes, your metabolism will still slow down if you're not eating, even if you take metabolism boosters like green tea. These work with the nutrients, etc. that you're taking in from food to speed metabolism, and won't do anything for you if you're not eating enough.
Not eating for five days isn't good. Please talk to your doctor!
Hope this helps,
Ginger
