A member asked:
If a person`s body metabolism is too fast (i.e.: he eats too much but is still skinny ) then what should he do to decrease his body metabolism ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check your thyroid: A persons metabolism is set with the body's internal endocrine system. There are small variations within normal. If the metabolism is too high it could be because of hyperthyroidism which can be checked with blood tests.
