I have a friend (no it's actually not me) who claims to be legitimately unable to lose weight. For the past three months she used the "My Fit Foods" program.
http://www.myfitfoods.com/.
She says that she did not sway from the course AT ALL and ate exactly 1280 calories every day. She is heavier (over 200 lbs) and is aboutg 5 foot 3.
She does have a thyroid disorder and the medications she tried in the past made her feel even worse. In addition to this since she has the preexisting condition of obesity it is very expensive for her to get healthcare.
Over the course of these 3 months she gained 7 pounds. Initially I thought the program must just be a sham and that she was consuming much more calories than she thought. Now I'm not so sure- the program looks decently legitimate.
Is this even possible? Are there instances like this where people legitimately cannot lose weight? She had a doctor tell her that he assumes she "destroyed" her metabolism by fasting in the past.
Just curious and am wondering if anyone here has insight.
Thanks!
