Question: Do people realize what a "low metabolism" really means!?
I was talking to a friend recently while she was munching on a sizable snack, and was shocked to hear her mention that she had a low metabolism!.
So I'm wondering if people realize what having a low metabolism really means!.
I know from experience, having had my *** kicked by hypothyroidism in my late-teens!.
Sure, there was a huge increase in weight, but another major symptom was!.!. a complete LOSS of appetite!.
Before being diagnosed, I barely ate a meal or - on a good day - two daily, and small ones at that!. I had an outright aversion to food!.
People who eat plenty and gain weight have a *NORMAL* metabolism!. If you have a clinically significant low metabolism, you'll have a loss of appetite, period!. Just like a drop in body temperature, lower heart rate, etc!.!. it's not just a "possible" symptom!.
If you're munching on candy bars, chips and dip, having a thousand calories at each meal, etc!.!. you don't have a low metabolism!.
Do people just not understand this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
People as a whole generally don't understand anything about medical things, but I think it's mainly a way to try to soften the blow (because they have an uncontrollable "excuse") of obesity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
metabolism is the process in which a chemical is processed in the body!. someone who says they have a high metabolism must have a fast heart rate and be really hot!. so no 'high' metabolisms dont exist!. its why we excersise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sorry, but you are WRONG!! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism several years ago - and I certainly DID NOT lose my appetite!. I also had several 'second opinions', including one from a hospital consultant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
