About 2-3 years ago, upon entering college, my twin sister and I started dieting together and were probably on the verge of developing eating disorders. We're both 5'4" and I got down to about 82lbs while my sister dropped below 70lbs. During the past year, we've been eating more heathily and gained back most of the weight. After a while, I stopped gaining weight and am fairly satisfied with my current weight.
However, my sister has been complaining about not being to stop her weight gain after already gaining nearly 40lbs. She's even reverted to eating nothing but salad leaves (with 0-calorie mustard) but is still gaining about 2lbs/week. Clearly, her metabolism is damaged worse than mine was.
Sorry about the rambling post, but the question is this. How can my sister repair her metabolism? When will she stop inexplicably gaining weight? Is there some supplements she can take? She doesn't want to eat nothing but leaves forever.

Thyroid disorders can cause these symptoms, see a doctor.
