@mercurialhost Yes! The basic concept is after a prolonged period of weight loss and malnutrition once refeeding begins your body goes into overdrive repairing the damage and you need a much higher basal intake. For example I was super sick for a month last year and lost a bunch of weight 1/2
@mercurialhost Which is a primer for hypermetabolism, then I started an ssri whose side effect was also hypermetabolism, so no matter how much food I ate I could not gain any weight at all. It took me around 4 months to get back to normal. There’s other symptoms as well including a higher 2/3
