Metabolism slowing
I am a 15 year old male about 178cm tall (5 feet 10 inches) weighing 80kg. Before starting my diet I weigh 90kg and lost a total of 10kg in about 4 months. My diet is kept to about 1500 calories a day with little to no exercise. The problem now is that I am worried about my metabolism rate is decreasing from dieting. I recently looked up on the internet that your metabolism slows when dieting. The article I looked up mentions about our body adapting to the energy deficiency in our body and slowing down our metabolism rate. I am wondering if this is something permanent or if I can eat the regular amount it takes to maintain my weight once I reach my ideal weight.
