I've slowly and continuously gained 60lbs.
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I got Covid and everything exploded in my body.
Summary
A previously fit, active person developed 20+ symptoms after a COVID infection, with steady weight gain of 60 lb over three years. They tried keto, paleo, AIP, gluten-free diets, fasting, leptin support and a prescribed GLP-1 inhibitor, none of which produced weight loss; semaglutide made POTS worse. Appetite disappeared completely and they had to force themselves to eat by July 2024.

I even tried semaglutide! Not a pound lost after 3 months. It only made my POTS worse.

I still took leptin balancing things but it didn't help because my leptin & A1C were good.
In context ↗ - things for insulin resistance · Not said
I assumed I had insulin resistance and did things for a year for it, and here I am 15lbs heavier.
