I can relate. I have a dieting problem that it is incredibly hard for me to lose weight. A few years ago I did a liquid diet. I ate about 700 calories per day. I ate no normal food.. only what they gave me. At first I lost like crazy. But I now know I was eating too little. But this was the only time I lost weight like everyone else. This, of course, didn't work because after about 5 months I could lose no more. My body had adjusted and if I ate any food at all off the diet track I gained like crazy.

It seems like I have a bizarre thing. I can eat a lot of calories at a certain point and not gain easily. But to lose weight, i have to eat almost nothing.

I used to think I cheated but when I ate the liquid diet I knew that I was eating no cheats and after 5 months I just stopped losing weight.

Every time I talk to someone about how I diet they pull out the standard advice which doesn't work for me. I think I have a weird metabolism. Slow of course but also it quickly adjusts to keep me from losing weight. I remained flummoxed about how to handle it. And unmotivated to try another diet.
