A lotof people who are moderately overweight think they have a metabolic problem. This is so e prevalent that I've come around to advising patients and doctors to have an old-fashioned basal metabolism (B.M.R.) test done. This is not to find out whether you normal thyroid or not, you oe 1 canfind thatout with a simple lo !test, butrather x to establish how many calories a person’s body needs on a daily basis. All that needs to be done is to take the old B.M.R. test and find out how much oxygen your body uses at rest for an hour.If the amount of oxygen used is foalbples by 4.625, that will tell you fow many calories your own body uses every . Thi can then be multiplied 24 to find out how many calories your body should use in a day’s timeif you rested in bed all day. Clearly, the diet will not need to be restricted below that number of calories for a person to lose weight. Any physical activity over and above the testing requirements will result in using body fat stores.

That’s why a woman whois through the menopause will continue to have artificial menstrualperiods eh month whenshe stops thepill. T have no way of knqwing whether you would or iwould not get pregnant whenyoustop the pill. That ‘depends entirely on whether you have completed the menopause or not. Your doctor may know something about your case that’s not included in ‘yourletter but you are young enoughto still be in the childbearing years. Women have been known to ‘get pregnant up to age 57. If you wereto stop the pill and then didn’t have any evidenceof ovulation for a period of two years, then you would probably be pretty safe in saying ‘you wouldn't get pregnant. Otherwise, I feel that ‘you would need to take someprecautions after stopsping thepill until you find out whether you are still ‘ovulatingandstill capable of getting pregnant.

DEAR DR.L. — Would youplease tell me the early symptoms of pregnancy?I know I could find out from mylocaldoctor but I see no need to use up his time.
