Hi Seams:

My brother in law, who is 71 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11, and weighs 122, is exactly like you. He goes all day long.

He only eats white stuff. Only binding stuff, as he calls it. He eats rice, plain spaghetti (no oil, no salt, no sauce, no nothing). He takes gaviscon before he eats anything. He says he has acid reflux.

I say"what the heck do you eat that you have acid reflux?" but he doesn't eat anything but white stuff. He does eat a bit of chicken with boiled veggies (but very little on that).

Mostly, rice, spaghetti, and like I said: "white stuff". He never gains weight. He's as skinny as a toothpick.

He must have some fast metabolism, that's all I can say.

Oh, and he drinks hot water with each meal. Never anything cold, and never any coffee or tea or any milk. Just hot water.

Hey, he's 71 and still kicking just fine. He must know what he's doing, right??
