Well, you know what I'd prolly say, first off, if you hadn't seen a dietican yet... what are you waiting for? ;] But that's wierd though, that you hadn't gained. I had always heard that the metabolism goes down when people start starving themselves, so the body conserves the energy. But then for those who starve long enough, the body starts burning up the fat your really DO need to survive. Like the fat behind the eyes, the fat that pads your internal organs, etc. I forget if at this point, one's metabolism is high again. But that's my guess, maybe your metabolism is way high... and it burns everything off much too fast for you to gain. That's something you HAVE to go to a dietician doctor for, to find out. They can tell you what things that are safe to eat, and how to eat them, to slow it down. (I realized, that since I eat supper late at night now, I've gained more weigh... cause I'm going to bed right after and my body doesn't burn off much of the calories.) I heard eating too much fatty foods, like high with saturated animal fat is a no-no. That'll clogup your arteries before you could add the weigh to your body, I imagine. So yeah... go find that medical help FIRST, Joanna, especially since you have the health insurance benefits to make it all more affordable too. ~HT "Comic book fans are very bright, very witty .... and very scary." :::::::XX For what do you quest?
