I have tried to exercise, walk, swim and much more but due to no energy, and too much stress I cant lose any weight due to my metabolism. I have been taking Metophorim since I was 21 and it hasn’t been doing any good.

Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body’s motor is
running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic
rate. It’s how fast your "motor" is running when you’re still in a
reclined position or sleeping. About 60-75% of energy is expended by the
body at rest in such activities.
The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout
the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we
are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of
body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher metabolism than others that are
less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than
fat. Some people have a slower metabolic rate and have a harder time
staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of
the increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to
store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight gains.
How to build muscles to improve metabolism? What type of exercise is
ideal that speed up metabolism so that you burn calories even at rest or
sleep? There are simple exercises that speed up the metabolism.
Causes for Low Metabolism
* Fasting
* A low calorie diet
* Snacking throughout the day on high sugared foods (candy, colas,
cakes, gum).
* Eating or drinking too much sugar containing foods.
* Lack of physical activity.
* Underactive thyroid.
Metabolism Boosters
There are some natural metabolism boosters (natural foods) that
improves your metabolism. Do not take over the counter pills containing animal
thyroid extract that claim to boost up metabolism. These products may
have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive
sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc.
How to Improve (Speed up) Metabolism
* Do not skip any meals
* Exercise daily
* Build your muscles
* Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings
*Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
*Eat foods with high nutrition values
Firstly I feel for you, it is not a very well known disease.
I imagine you have tried low carbohydrate diet. I don’t know if the medication for thyroid can be taken, however it might be worth asking your GP. It’s called Thyroxine or oroxine which is used for people with under-active thyroid which makes the metabolism sluggish. Other than that, I have no more information for you. There are several web sites with forums and you can get a diet buddy to help you, by both sharing your ideas on failure or success. Good Luck "-)
