Answer
yES, YOUR METABOLISM IS PROBABLY EXTREMELY SLUGGISH, AND WILL ONLY GET WORST IF YOUB DO NOT EAT. IN ORDER FOR YOUR WIEGHT TO GO DOWN AND NOT HAVE SAGGY SKIN... YOU MUST EAT NORMALLY AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES DAILY SMALL SMALL PORTIONS, AND WORK OUT AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET GOOD RESULTS AND LOOSE WEIGHT. OTHER THEN THAT IF YOU CONTINUE IN THIS ROUTE, YOU WILL FOREVER RUIN YOUR METABOLISM, AND YOU WILL LIVE YOUR LIFE ALWAYS STRUGGLING THREE TIMES HARDER TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT! THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MUST EAT...
