I've been on an improved alternate day fasting diet.
Ddespite my best efforts, I either gain 20 pounds one week, or lose a mere 1 pound every 2 weeks.

It's safe to say no matter what I do I'm steadily gaining weight for an unknown reason.

I know plenty of anorexic kids that have NO diet, and don't work out at all, and typically eat a lot.

Whereas I don't eat ANYTHING every other day, and eat little, and I mean little, the other days. I eat just enough to be healthy, yet I feel stuffed whenever I eat.

I might have this virus.
I am feeling for you
There are many many reasons for obesity. Most of which our conservative medical establishment has not come to grips with yet.

A virus is only ONE possibility

I don't know how to advise you because this area of medicine is so new
However you should go though the posts in this Thread and read them and the links associated with them one by one. perhaps you may find somethng that 'chimes' or rings bells with you personally.

A comprehensive medical check-up (using specialists not just the local GP) would be a good idea in case their is a hormonal or other problem.

Thank you for sharing your pain.
