Has anyone had issues with metabolism from keto?

I’m no doctor, but this sounds like something unrelated to keto - she should get a full panel, thyroid check etc. Also look into food allergies and sensitivities - general inflammation can wreak havoc and cause unnecessary water weight gain. Our bodies change over time and us women especially can experience a myriad of hormone-related fluctuations.

Also, (depending on her size, of course) 900 calories is likely not even close to sufficient... and sounds like it could be dipping into a dangerous pattern

I was interested in doing keto but a friend told me she did it for years and lost a ton of weight then her metabolism got messed up and she would eat 900 calories a day and gain weight. Wondering if others had the same issue

Unfortunately this is an issue for many people whibare overweight for a long time and lose weight a significant amount if weight. If you search scholarly articles in regaining weight you will find different theories as to why this is the case. With that being said, I did keto for 3 1/2 months and lost 20ish lbs. I then fell off for 3 weeks and ate freely and mostly fast food. In those 3 weeks I gained about 5 lbs (which is low for me). Then when I went back on keto I was back to losing in a little over a week. For me Keto seems to have changed my relationship with food generally. Even when I was off, I still only ate when I was hungry and didnt have the severe cravings that I had before. But every "body" is different. Good luck with whatever you chose or choose to get healthy!!

I haven’t heard this. If your friend went back to eating carbs, I imagine there were a few pounds gained due to water. In any case, gaining weight from just 900 calories sounds a bit dramatic ...

What do you mean? Keto makes me forget about food, I eat about once a day, no cravings. Is that what you mean?

She doesn’t eat carbs. She said after doing it for a few years it stopped working. By this I mean she didn’t start and stop doing it, she was continuing to do it and it messed up her metabolism

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures.
