My daughter who is 19yrs old gains weight without eating barely anything. Is
there someone out there that knows if this is a petuitary problem?? I feel
sorry for her cause she is always trying to lose weight and is very active
physically but, just continues to gain weight. Please help, Thanks, Tim

Take her to an endocrinoligist....

It's not how much you eat, but WHAT you eat!

Perhaps she is learning to live on light nutrition.

It is how much you eat !
Fat from animal srcs is far more costly than from Carbs ! Same for
protein !! lower cost to make protein from carbs !
Your body naturally chooses the most efficient method to make it's
FATTY ACIDS , CHOLESTEROL
LDL's .

The Daughter :
If you are healthy other wise , reducing input...

ONLY IF YOU CAN CONVINCE YOUR BODY IT IS OK TO DO SO ( read w/o
causing pain )

will reduce your wt .

But here's the stop !
Humans eat for pleasure . It is impossible to fast
unless you are on your death bed .

I know , i've tried , but til i had GERD 2 years ago ,
i had pain every time i cut back to O.J. and a slice o' bread a day .
Now it is easy .
I am normal ( 61y.o. White 170 lbs on tea and toast each day ) .
I had to learn a lot . First you must believe that your
blood sugar will NOT drop . Train your brain to give you sugar when
you make the big decision !

sugar is sucrose ( a blend of glucose and fructose )
So where's the poison ? There is nothing harmful in
sugar !!! The process is so simple there could not possibly be
anything "latent" !
You pay no price for eating sugar except maybe tooth loss !
Vegans sometimes can't keep up with converting only starch to glucose
..... sugar your tea !
On demand ,Glucose is converted to protein more efficiently/lower
cost than eating meat !

You may want to consider if she has an eating disorder, which can be
common in young women. If you rarely see her eating and she is
exercising a lot, it may be that she is binge eating in private. She
should probably see her doctor though, to rule out any medical issues
first..

Has she been tested for thyroid problems?

Glucose cannot convert to protein.
Protein is made up of amino acids and Essential aminos have to be
aquired from the diet.

Live on tea and toast all you want, but you will end up with amino acid
deficiencies after awhile.

Thyroid.......that is what i meant.......not petuitary.....what do i know.
Ya, no, she has not been tested for that i don't believe. I will have to ask
her if she would like to have that done. She has always eaten like a bird
and just continues to gain weight. I was told once that peoples motablism is
different and some can eat every thing and never gain a pound. Others
everything they eat is stored as fat.

I used to have the same problem and it's still somewhat of a problem.

Google for "Wilson's syndrome" and "Insulin resistance".

The pituitary gland is the master gland that also has thyroid function.
Thyroid gland regulates metabolism. I would take her to a doctor and have
him check that and other eating disorders.
I would caution blaming everything on hormones and the thyroid and ignoring
emotional concerns.

As Robert said, it *could* be pituitary. Could you give us an example
of a typical day's meals? There are SO manything reasons this could be
happening. It could be what she eats, emotional, hormonal... many
things. It's best to start with the obvious and work your way down.

I would buy her some iodine supplements to kickstart her metabolism.
Then buy her some Proactiv to help with the acne that iodine causes.

Yeah, well, the most obvious possibility of all, is that she's eating a
lot of stuff that she forgets and you don't see, you dodo.

Fat people get thin in locked metabolic wards. Breatharians (google it)
are mythical.

Well, being a Breatharian is about the only way
one could survive on a food budget of less than
$1.50/day. : o )

"lower cost to make protein from carbs"?!
are you sure you posted in the right group?

You assume that because she's overweight that she eats too much. How
very scientific of you.

Actually, it is. For humans, at least.

There are obese mice which manage to stay obese during calorie
restriction (though even they are smaller), but that's a special
circumstance involving a metabolic defect. Mice burn 6/7ths of their
energy just staying warm, whereas in humans it's less than half. If you
interrupt the special heat-generation mechanism in mice, they can use
all those calories to get fat (so long as you don't put them in the
cold, which kills them).

No such mechanism is known in human adults, however. We keep warm just
from intermediate metabolism, and have to generate extra heat (by
shivering) only in extreme conditions. So the rodent model of fatness
without excess calorie consumption doesn't apply to us.

In locked metabolic wards, nobody of normal stature who is mobile stays
fat on 1200 kcal a day.

SBH

Are you overweight or obese? I'm just wondering because you may not
know how much a portion should be.

That is absolutely untrue, and I have a wife that is a prime example.
She spent a LOT of time at a "locked metabolic ward" on just about 1200
kcal a day and lost no weight at all.

Drugs, chemicals, refined foods, improper (low fat) diet... several
environmental factors can all contribute to the destruction of the
thyroid and/or pituitary glands, which regulate body weight.
