[Eccl 10:2]

Sometimes it takes a while to work, so I’m told.

I don’t know what you mean by “weird” metabolism, but from what I understand, there are very few profiles for whom a ketogenic diet won’t work or shouldn’t be tried.

Good luck, and I will pray for you.

I don’t know what you mean by “weird” metabolism, but from what I understand, there are very few profiles for whom a ketogenic diet won’t work or shouldn’t be tried.

My metabolism is so efficient that, when I wasn't on the keto diet, I had to keep my calorie intake below 1000/day or I'd gain weight. Add to that the fact that my body doesn't produce some of the hormones and other substances necessary to burn fat the normal way. I'm hoping ketosis is a different enough process to bypass the missing parts of the process.

My doctor has pretty much told me that it's not biologically possible for me to lose weight through diet and exercise, and that the best I can hope for is to slow the rate of gain. But, back in October I had gallbladder trouble and had to go on a ridiculously restricted diet for a while, and lost a few pounds that way. I'm hoping to find a diet that will work as well, but without the maddening feeling of constant hunger.
