[QUOTE="ketointheuk, post: 2214260, member: 469532"] I have a private appointment next week. And to say I'm terrified does not deliver. I am terrified cause I have got used to the condescendence of GPs when voicing my concerns about my weight gain in the last 2 years with a simple "you fat pig just eat less." I ate less. I lost 35kg at 1200kcal per day on keto. And then I stalled at 1200kcal. And then i started to gain at 1200kcal. I have been tracking my food for all these 6 years so I both understand the "fatlogic" scepticism and my own frustration. Since going back to school in september what could be described as my "weight set point" went just up. I put on 6kg since, whilst always being in ketosis (which looking at lipogenesis factors and paths, should always require insulin, which being in high ketosis 3mmols+ and low glucose 4smmol) shouldn't be possible. Yet here I am. I had to cut down foods cause one day cheese was making me put on weight, another it was cauliflower, another it was parma ham. I am dreading this appointment now yet I am aware this is the only thing that can still help me. I am looking for advice on tests to ask for, and the help to ask for and how to ask it, cause I'm so afraid of being dismissed, cause in all honesty I know how *I* was dismissive of anyone telling a story similar to this. I would just think they were lying, possibly to themselves, they weren't really tracking, they didn't likely know what they were actually eating. But i have years of My fitnesspal complete data, i weight food never guess it, I have glucose and ketone measurements to show trends, I don't make sense based on that data... how can an endocrinologist help me figure things out? Thanks for any advice, and for enduring the rant <3 [/QUOTE]
