Slow Metabolic Rate

Hi,

I used to have a pretty good metabolic rate and could eat anything and not put on weight.

After I had chicken pox my mother suggested I take Phiphos (not sure of spelling). Now unfortunately what that has done to my system and what a doctor just recently told me it does do is slow down your metabolic rate and make you feel more hungry. So the over all result for me has been weight gain and now I can't eat without putting on weigth. Potatoes are the worst.

Is there someway to get my metabolic rate back to what it used to be - as in is there a homepathic medicine that will do that without any other effects? I'm fine with being hungry and eating more than I used to because I did need to put on some weight but not being able to eat without putting on more is definitely not good.

Thanx so much.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

If you are probably talking of Five Phos a mixture of biochemic medicines which you were prescribed for your problem you need not worry because there is no documented case to say that it does in any way interfere with your metabolic rate.

Im not sure if there is a medicine, but my metabolism is shot now too, causing me to gain tons of weight in such a short time. I found eating lots of fiber, like dried beans, brown rice etc. I am starting to lose the weight quite fast, but as soon as I go back to eating the same old sugary and starchy foods, I can gain it as quickly. Plus I drink a gallon or more of water a day to help flush me out properly. I noticed quick results and even a better mood, I dont even have to be on antidepressents like the doctor thought I did. Hope this is a bit useful to you.

Brown Rice is a starch? Or is that the only starch you allow yourself? Maybe you are eating fewer calories.
