>>>>>>>Lynda, I read once that one likely hypothesis was that many of the anti-d's lowered the body's metabolism. NOT just that a person's metabolism was lowered because they didn't eat as much, felt more tired, laid around more, etc., BUT that the meds actually lowered the body's metabolism in a specific way. It was stated as very likely but at that time not totally proven. You could always try to find a guy that likes the extra "cushion".
