My doctor sent me for a metabolic test, but its an out of pocket test that costs $175. I really have to plan for such an expense, but would it really be helpful? I think my metabolism is affected by meds but fine, is there anything they could do anyway to fix a low metabolism?

I think it's worth it. I now know how many calories I can eat without gaining weight. My doc says eating red spicy peppers can speed up metabolism, but I don't like spicy foods. Maybe you do, though.
She tried Metformin to help get my metabolism going, but it had bad side effects on me such as diarrhea. Also, more exercise/activity can help. And caffeine such as in green tea--and a moderate amount of caffeine such as in coffee and other things in general, if your doctor okays it. |
