W & I met because a mutual friend had a metabolic disorder that caused poor energy metabolism. She had to drink 2 milkshakes with most meals, eat large quantities, and yet she was still tiny. It was hard, very hard on her.

Yet it was great for us – because it took her so long to eat, several shifts of friends would sit with her and one day W’s and my groups overlapped. The rest is history.

I guess your early silver lining is the truffle indulgence, but when that wears thin, I imagine another will pop up, and you will certainly be the one who points it out.

Oh, wow, you really are the zebra aren’t you? I would imagine it is not easy to just add fat to your diet, but your chocolate truffles sound like a great way to start. Meanwhile, like many above, and I believe Richard, I still struggle with enjoying chocolate, but limiting the fat. Luckily, playing with yarn & fabric counts as exercise!

Does DH share the salt-added chocolate truffles, or are they yours only?

Brava for thinking ‘outside the box’ – this will make most readers hoot with laughter.

You can always notch up your medical advice with the thought that you are an ‘interesting case’ – not the usual patient, but one that gets discussed at morning tea!

What a great problem to have. I’ve been told there’s no need to avoid salt, but no one has encouraged me to add fat!

More salt? More fat? No, not the usual instructions. Now the nutritionist at Avenidas has me on Ensure to gain more weight. My doctor wants to know if that’s more fat or more muscle.

I’m about to email you an invitation that is right up your alley.

I’d happily send you some pounds if I could — oh, and some dietary fats as well — seems fighting my genetics means I will never hear a doctor tell me to eat more of anything!

Eat more is not something I will ever hear in my lifetime!

I have more than few pounds I’m not using, you are more than welcome to them(if only it was that easy). Take care.

Now I want some chocolate covered pretzels.
