Metabolism out of control?

Question

My metabolism is super hyper. I am 32 years old 105 lbs and i eat like a horse. my diet includes fresh vegetables, occassional red meat intake moderate excercise (normal everydayactivities). I can't eat protein bars because of severe allergy to peanuts (most contain peanuts) so i get my protein from chicken, etc. I try to eat fairly well rounded meals but in between meals i have to snack, fruits, on and on...

please serious answers, no snide comments. If i get sick even with a cold or the flu i'm done for my weight drops significantly within days. either i need to slow my metabolism down or find a better way of taking in my full caloric needs without eating every waking moment.

Answer 1

Have you had your thyroid checked? It regulates metabolism so you could theoretically be hyperthyroid. I come from a family that has always been painfully thin. I also can eat whatever I want. Sounds great, but I know what you're talking about. In my family, we have fat malabsorption issues as well. You can consider researching celiac disease and get tested for that because it can also cause fat malabsorption.

Answer 2

Eat only when hungry and not more than three times a day unless u r diabetic. Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

Answer 3

The biggest problem the human body has is the mind which has pre-conceived ideas. When the mind says you will lose weight, you will. When the mind says that if you get a cold you will lose weight, you will. So do not overwork your mind on they aimless philanderings. Think more plain thoughts. Read books, voraciously. Stop your mind thinking these mundane thoughts about losing weight, allergy to peanuts, well rounded meals and eat just what comes to you or is served to you. All will be well.
