Her metabolism may be slow because she is starving herself. She really

For women I think the oft overlooked culprit to stubborn weight is birth control. Messing with your hormones will

I agree. Like I said, I'm married to a reformed fatty, from a fat family and he's managed it.

What you say is true but does little to help the obese. Why don’t you prove
