She's 21 and always had problems with her obesity and long as I knew her. She's 5'6, and assumably at around 190-210lbs. I never thought she ate enough to be obese to begin with, but she gains weight at an extreme rate if she doesn't watch what she eats. Ever since she opened up to me about this issue, she's been exercising 6 days a week (weights and running for at least 1 hour), has switched to a full salad diet with no meat, heavy dressings, croutons, cheese, etc. Straight veggies and light dressing. Almost completely eliminated eating from restaurants and she does not ever eat more than 2 salads a day. It's been about 3 months of this routine and she's maybe lost 10 pounds based off her physique.
As someone who lost weight in the past just by cutting down meals and going on walks every evening, I'm frustrated for her. Just based off of what she's doing, I just can't wrap my head around how she can retain all her body fat, let alone gain. She believes its largely genetics as her dad was also obese, along with her mother who was a big woman.
Assuming that she's not blatantly lying about everything she's doing for the weight loss, has anyone met/know anyone else going through similar struggles? Concerns for medical conditions were raised and she will be seeing a doctor for it. I feel bad for her because she hangs out with friends who eat 2-3 times the calories as her, but they're all 2-3 times smaller than her.
