That's fantastic for your metabolism! Maybe mine didn't because it was homeopathic hCG? I don't know. But on the other hand, was my metabolism so out of place? Probably not. I believe it is normal to gain weight after eating a lot of sugar and carbs. People who can eat a pound of candy and be fine probably have an abnormal (though probably desirable!) metabolism. And I also believe that the metabolism is kinda like the engine of a car. If it's super fast, you can pretty much eat everything, but just like a car, you can't go 300 miles at 6000 RPM. A metabolism that is super fast may appear desirable because of what you can eat and not gain weight, but it also means more free radicals in the body.

Anyway, my metabolism is just fine I think. I won't gain 3 pounds if I eat something I shouldn't, but I do see the effect on my weight when I weight myself everyday (I can loose about 0.3-0.5 when I eat low-carb; and gain 0.5-0.8 when I have a high-carb day [more than 200grams]). Does this mean my metabolism isn't fast enough? I don't think so. Rather I think it simply means that I do better on a high-fat/low-carb lifestyle.
