Instead of trying to find ways for people that have very low metabolisms to live while eating way less then the general population, which pretty much has been shown to be impossible for most - why not consider things that are causing their metabolism to be so low - such as thyroid problems that are NOT always detected by blood tests such as TSH, which is often useless for many people, toxins, or other abnormal states. These are basically ignored and people that struggle while eating what most would consider a low calorie diet are just told to develop will power and starve all the time- or research is concentrated on finding drugs to make them not be hungry! And with today's food supply being so depleted many couldn't even get the nutrients they need from the amount of calories that they may have to eat to keep from gaining. I'm not saying that some people are not fat because they really eat too much and have huge appetites and I don't really know how they feel because I don't have a large appetite. But I do know that I had NORMAL thyroid tests but benefit greatly from taking thyroid, which has cured not only an extremely slow metabolism (although I still have to be careful and can't eat 2000 calories a day at almost 5'10")and it has also cured various other symptoms I was having. Had I not found a doctor who treats PATIENTS instead of LAB VALUES - I would still be miserable and over 30 pounds heavier while eating about 1500 calories of WHOLE FOOD a day and exercising! And another thing that should be addressed is the effect on metabolism of all the chemicals and junk in modern processed foods. All of this is ignored and it would seem it's mainly because of Big Pharma and Big food processors that want us to think the garbage they churn out is good for us. I'm completely convinced of this from personal experience and the experience of many others.
