    Hi ....I don't think anyone has broke metabolism. It does slow as we get older though. I'm 45 yrs old and I seem to have sped up my metabolism quite a bit. To get yours going....make sure you don't skip breakfast, eat 3 meals a day with at least 2 snacks in between and exercise. As you build muscle, your body will burn more calories while at rest. I think every lb of fat burn 1-2 calories per day compared to every lb of muscles which can burn 50+ calories per day per muscle:)!! Make good healthy food choices, lots of fresh veggies and fruits and some good lean protein. Also drink lots and lots of water. (Huge plus to weight loss) Good luck to you....you can do this;)

    My partner listens to the radio all day at work and learns many words of wisdom, he mentioned about a certain pepper which helps boost your metabolism, so i looked it up and found this, its a good read.

    Eat small, frequent and 'balanced' meals. e.g. 6 meals of 250 to meet a requirement of 1500 calories.
    Exercise for atleast 30 mins/day.
    Drink plenty of water.

    My suggestion is to seek out an Endocrinologist. With one blood test they will be able to determine if you have a Thyroid problem and ultimatley best direct you. In most instances, people suffer from hypo, which is a slow metabolism. The solution is a daily dosage of synthroid of some other med to stimulate your metabolism. 80% of people with Thyroid issues are female. I am a male and take medication daily as does my teenage daughter. Life is miserable without it. Check with your doctor.
