Having the same issue. Does anyone has any solutions?

I have had the same issue. Unexplained weight gain in my abdominal area. I also haven’t change my diet. As time goes along, the fat accumulation gets worse. I am facing needing to try a radical change in diet and multiple supplements to heal the damage to my gut.

Like you, I had an acute Covid infection end November 2020 through March 2021. I was hospitalized for one week with bilateral pneumonia and bilateral pleural effusions. Once home, I was on home O2 until end March, 2021. I initially lost about 12 pounds, however I slowly experienced unexplained weight gain up until June 2023. I had made no change in my daily diet or exercise routine, however I continued to gain weight, mostly in my torso. I finally consulted an Endocrinologist, and he felt it may be due to long Covid and insulin resistance. He started me on a combination of Naltrexone and Bupropion along with the initiation of Mounjaro while starting a highly limited Atkins style diet. Carbohydrate intake is minimal, zero sugar, while protein intake is 80-110 gms/day. Daily caloric intake has been 400 to no more than 800/day. I have not been hungry. I have had increased energy. I have added supplements to balance my nutritional needs. The needle has finally started moving down on my scale! I have been walking 4 miles 4-5x a week. I am hopeful that I will be able to return to my ideal weight once again. I do believe that transitioning to a regular diet will need to be done with plenty of caution as I am not sure how my body will react and if my insulin resistance will continue. You are not alone. I wish you the best in your journey.
