Gain weight in 'right places'?

I don't know if it was the rapid weight gain and loss…

I was not underweight (throwing up definitely does not get rid of all binge calories). When I recovered in August 2012 I started eating 'normally.' In January 2013 I…

Starve mode
Has anyone read Leigh Peele's Starve Mode? I can't tell from the information whether its a book that claims starve mode is real or not. Any reviews would be appreciated!
