How would fasting and exercise effect metabolism?

Home More advice Nutrition & Fitness

So...I've been on a diet for a while and lost over 50 pounds, but this past week I've been off my diet and eating all kinds of stuff because it has been graduation week (I'm finally a High School graduate) and everyone has been saying "It's a time for celebration." They were right, right? Anyway, starting Monday, I'm thinking about going on a fast and not eating anything but drinking water and going to the gym. My question is, and sorry if it's a little confusing, if I fast and exercise what kind of effect would that have on my metabolism? Would it slow down, stay the same, or improve (which is what I want)? I know fasting slows it down and exercise speeds it up, so what would happen if you add the two? Again, sorry if it's confusing, I need to get back on track. I want to look good going to college! Thanks!!
