text: if you think your metabolism is low you should talk to a doctor to see if there is any health issues. you could also try over the counter thyroid boosters at any pharmacy. but whatever you do keep up the good work. do not restrict your calories too much or your body will think you are starving or going through a famine and will keep your weight on longer for survival. any true long lasting weight loss takes a lot of time and is a lifetime committment so make sure your diet is something you can live with the rest of your life. the items you are cutting out should be replaced with a healthy alternative so you do not feel deprived which could lead to bingeing or yo-yo dieting. good luck.
