How long does it take for metabolism to adjust to fitness and dietary changes?

I am an overweight, 40 year old diabetic, female. I have started eating less and exercising daily. How long should it take for my metabolism to change and start burning fat and calories? When should I notice a difference?How long does it take for metabolism to adjust to fitness and dietary changes?After a few weeks if the changes have been enough. You will be tired, sore and weak, then you should notice you have more energy. Depending on the regimine, you may actually have an increase in appetite, but it is what you eat that counts.How long does it take for metabolism to adjust to fitness and dietary changes?If you try to exercise and burn body fat, remember that the type of fat that you're trying to burn matters. Our body first metabolizes carbs and then protein, and while the protein is being metabolized, the body starts breaking down the fat and glycogen stores to convert it to fuel.



Fat does not have the same chemical structure as sugars. Saturated fats are called saturated because they have large amount of carbon-hydrogen bonds. A fat that is mono-unsaturated has two fewer carbon-hydrogen bonds because it has one extra carbon-carbon bond called a double bond. The more unsaturated the fat is, the less and less energy it contains. Therefore, you can burn more unsaturated fats than saturated fats with the same amount of exercise.
