I have a very slow metabolism....and it seem like I don't get rid of food as fast as other people
Does anyone have the same problem or can someone recomend something I can do or pills that actually works. I have already tried fiber and yogurt's they don't work!

Someone Please Help....

    Me too.. mine used to go so slow that i thought for sure it was actually going backwards... try eating little tiny 250 calorie meals ever 2-2.5 hours... it picks up pretty quick, promise!:flowerforyou:

    physillum but you have to drink it fast and drink lots of water afterwards. it's lots of fiber which cleans you out.

    Hi and welcome

    Have you had b/w to have your thyroid tested?
    After my dd (#2) the Dr found nodules on my thyroid and when tested I flip-flopped from hyper/hypo (in a nutshell my thyroid was too slow, then too fast)
    Because of that and some other factors I help on to about 25 pounds of extra weight for 3 years
    I came here in Jan 08 and by April lost 27 pounds....and have hung around to keep it off

    You can do it!
    Good luck, Kim
