I used to pity fats with slow metabolisms until I started on medication that slows my metabolism I was recently diagnosed bipolar and started taking lithium a few months ago, which is supposed to cause weight gain. I was really nervous about this, but thankfully I’ve gained <5 pounds. I now eat about ½ as much as I used to on a daily basis, partly through self-discipline but mostly just listening to my body. With a slower metabolism I just seldom feel hungry, and I just don’t crave heavy foods like burgers or pizza as much as I used to. Which makes me wonder what exactly is going on with fats…they’re probably getting ‘RED ALERT, PLEASE CUT THAT SHIT OUT’ signals from their bodies and plowing straight ahead anyway.
