Desperately looking for true cure to metabolic syndrome

ASKyle

The metabolism damage is so bad that I can gain a legitimate 5 pounds in one day if I eat or drink the wrong thing (not water weight, it sticks).

That's physically impossible.

You'd have to consume 17,500 cals over your daily to actually gain 5lbs.

OP suggested he was misusing prescription medication:

Then I finally broke the chain of addiction with this pill that I was taking for insomnia.

This also sounds a little questionable (give how difficult it actually is to put on muscle):

I learned how to work out hard and diet in the process because I didn't want to look so bad so just stacked a bunch of muscle on myself.

If the OP was misusing medication or other substances, he is the proverbial "special snowflake," which doesn't prove that metabolic disorders are common. You can't point to a very unique case like this to make any kind of point about health issues in the general population.

I'm curious to know which medication he's on that causes diabetes.

If he can also put on 5 lbs of fat in one day without overeating at all then I think he needs to volunteer himself for scientific studies because that could be revolutionary.

So am I. There is steroid-induced diabetes. Sometimes that does not correct itself when you stop taking the steroids.

yep, other drugs that can cause diabetes are statins, beta blockers, thiazides, antipsychotic agents, immunosuppressive agents, protease inhibitors etc.

doesn't really matter much though since OP deactivated his account.

Xanax is prescribed for insomnia and is highly addictive.
