This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Eat a lot and just don't move around.

I've basically tried that for a few years and haven't put on weight.

All my family is pretty much overweight, but I can eat kebabs, spaghetti and chocolate all day, drink beer and soda (until I was literally fed up of all of it, felt the mountain of food in my throat pretty much) and not move a muscle and I still actually lost some weight.

However I do think there's some actual malabsorption or something behind it as well, just can't get the public doctors to pay any fking attention no matter the evidence I have.

So yeah it should be as simple as that, and for most people, it definitely is. But someone who actually makes a post about the subject might be more likely to have some sort of aberration.

Personally I'm trying gluten free rn. I have been tested for celiacs in the past, but either I got false negatives or it's NCGS, which would explain a lot, as it's not as violent as celiac usually and wouldn't show up on tests.

Wishing you luck in your journey homie! And hope the docs start acting right 😤😤

I think that's sort of the default. It's more of a systemic issue, really.

Que sera sera.

Thank youo

Age might be a factor. Are you 30 yet? My metabolism slowed down in my 30s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Mid-thirties yeah.

The point is if it was just normal high metabolism, then why does no-one else in my family have anything even remotely like it, as they're all overweight? (And I used to be a bit round at one point as a kid)

And I know my brother's are my brother's with the same certainty the Mario Bro's do, so it's not like I have completely different genes.

I do have a kidney thing and it caused high BP for some reason. And since the adrenals are located quite close to where the problem is and where they operated on, idk, might have something to do with that as well.

Stress, diet, all that. Hard to science out by myself though. The public doctors here suck. And not in a good way.
