When you talk to that Doc you have to let me know......My Doc just said...its because your getting older...you have to excersise even more!!!!! Well I do and still nothing.....I dont take anything that would make it bad either.....I do have to take my thyroid pill...but thats suppose to help make my metabolism normal also???????? And my thyroid is at a normal level right now?????? Im going to see what else raises your metabolism besides excersise....I know some spices are suppose to...then there are some herbal things.....On this diet I wonder if its ok to take kelp pills...I cant find that out any where....
