Q: i don't eat much but im still gaining weight, how can i speed up my metabolism other than exercising?

Grazing: Turning your three high protein low carbohydrate meals into six smaller meals/ day. Never letting your stomach get completely empty. Eating slowly and stopping when full. Grazing is a very good concept when it comes to keeping the metabolism going.

Q: would it be ok for me, with hypothyroidism, to take laxatives to speed my metabolism?

Daily stools : I would not suggest taking laxatives daily. Instead make sure your TSH levels are close to 2.5 and you increase your water intake. Also, taking metamucil or benefiber daily will help increase your fiber intake and hopefully your stools.

Warning: Info only!: I'm not recommending this - but it does seem reasonable and might help you in some way. http://www.theroadback.org/weight_loss.aspx an interesting fact is that the digestive tract has more serotonin receptors than the brain.
