I long for something that would help me. I have a rare metabolic disorder where the recommendation is high carbohydrates, very high, and to never diet. Even a ten percent reduction in caloric intake can end in hospitalization, during which I am put on a frankly enormous amount of glucose or sucrose, among other things. The end result has been an insidious weight gain. Exercise? Well, aside from the fact that you can't outrun your fork, it sets off the same metabolic pathways that caloric restriction does and I am back to square one.
