Thanks, Poofie,

I suspect my friend has been driving her calories lower and lower over the years to maintain her weight. I feel her body would be happier with a little more weight on although she is not thin just slim.

I guess what she would like to know is whether her former low calorie diet has mucked her metabolism around so much that she is likely to balloon if she starts to eat normally...and also whether this will ever change and allow her to eat healthily and maintain a healthy weight in the future.

I think someone posted with this problem. I'd like to find that post again.
