Reader’s Question: I easily gain weight, right now I am 5 6″, 134 lbs,in a good shape, but my legs are a kind of fat and I dont like it. I have to watch what I eat all the time and it makes me angry. It seems I am on diet through my whole life, and I am so tired of that. I don’t eat that much carb, almost no fat, no sugar, mostly fruits and veggies and some protein. Since I don’t eat enough, I easily get sick, I always feel cold and my immune system is very low.(BTW I am 38 yr-old). I eat every 3 hrs(small portion) to keep my metabolism high, but it seems it is very low and I am so tired of my diet. I can’t eat whatever I feel like it, because I easily gain weight. I work out 3 times per week in the gym (45 min cardio, 20 min weight). Please help me out and let me know what I should do? I used to be 130, but now I can’t bring it down from 134 to 130.
