James here.....Glead to have SLS looking into this issue ! I've done
a little research. With me the AD's make me crave foods, esp. carbs,
so I know where the weight came from. It is very clear they many just
gain without changing their diet. I know an anorexic that gains on AD's.
So clearly something else is effecting weight gain.
I suspect metabolisim is changed while on AD's. Insulin levels
may be changed also. Many report carb cravings. On thing to try
might be "the carbohydrate addicts diet". It is not a restrictive
diet at all, very healthy. More a new way to eat. The bood is written by a
MD and a psychologist, Drs. Richard & Rachael Heller. The webpage is:
