RE: Metabolism, the thing we all hate.
Very informative post @donhiddit. It answers some questions I have been having. Is there such thing as no metabolism? I have been the same weight for 9 years. Once in a while it will dip a little. I had changed my diet completely. No sugar (except what naturally occurs in fruit), low starch (I actually stopped eating potatoes) lean meats, doubled vegetable intake. Snacks consisted of cheeses and nuts. Any time I got hungry I ate nuts. I did Zumba 3 times a week and then the gym 3 days a week. As well as adding a supplement regimen. All of this because my doctor had told me my blood pressure was going up, I was on the verge of type 2 diabetes and my cholesterol was 'a tad high'. I had everything monitored closely during that time. Guess what? Nothing happened. 18 months on this routine and I had no change whatsoever. He decided to say it was because of the medication I was on and stress.
