I concur that the wellbutrin might work for you and it may speed up your metabolizm.
regarding the weight gain, you starving yourself is slowing down your metabolizm. I would not be surprised if you are fatigued also your body does not know when it will have food again so it stores it all up in fat when it receives food. I would not doupt if you are gaining weight for as little as your eating.
i can lose more weight by eating more then by eating almost nothing.
there is only 1 way to lose weight being excercise and eat properly. you need to burn more then you consume. figure there are 3500 cals in a pound. reduce your intake by about 500 -750 cals per day; including excercise you will lose about 5 pounds a month.
personally i eat 6-12 small meals a day consumeing about 2800 cals per day. eating more often stokes the fire and burns more calories! A balanced diet to me means 60% complex carbohydrates with ample monounsaturated fat, 20% protein, 10% from polyunsaturated fat and 10% saturated fat.
so feed yourself, excercise and don't try any fad diets!
