Meet the Woman Who Can't Gain Weight

Meet the Woman Who Can't Gain Weight




This is a 21 year old lady with a rare condition they believe is related to progeria, who can't gain weight and has never weighed more then 61 pounds. One can read about other super-thin folks from the circus side show of years ago, who had various wasting diseases and could eat anything. It's interesting she admits she eats 5,000-6,000 calories a day and still stays so thin. It seems maybe it's time to analyze metabolic variations of weight [from very thin to obese] instead of assuming everyone eats the same? She talks about the discrimination she has faced but thankfully has good support from her loved ones.
