I have been exercising for 17 years and eat a healthy diet. I feel that I have a dead metabolism. I have lost weight over the years but struggle to do so and then put it back on. I do not drink much alcohol and eat a lot of sugary foods and cut down on carbs.

I really need to know if I am doing something wrong as it is so annoying when I see people who eat more than me do not put any weight on

Thanks for replying but I am not a fan of diet pills. I will ask my doctor and see what he says

Exercising itself boost your metabolism, do Aerobic exercise, jogging and some weight exercise will help you boost your metabolism and lose weight. Drink eight or more glasses of water, eat healthy and fresh food. My Regenon diet pills also work well for my weight loss, its a appetite suppressant. Controls my hunger and over eating.

For fat loss goals your priorities are:
1. Diet
2. Diet
3. Weight training
4. Cardio (a distant 4th)
When you're ready to start adding muscle you'll need to focus on the first 3 factors.
Bottom line is that you're concentrating on the least important factor in achieving your goals. And unless you're willing to invest a decent amount of money for a home gym your best bet is to start off at a commercial gym

Great thread.
