I have a friend that can not lose weight!?

I hold a friend to be precise probably 40 lbs overweight. She walk at a brisk tread for 45 minutes 5 days a week. She is not an overeater and by and large eat natural, undamaged foods. I am 100% convinced that she is not a "closet eater".

Despite making correct food choices and excercising, she can't lose consignment. In reality, the level continues to move upwards. She is pear shaped, carrying adjectives of her consignment surrounded by her hips/thighs/butt. She doesn't fetch tubby surrounded by her midsection, have without fault clear skin, and no unusual fuzz growth. So, I don't suspect PCOS.

I hold impelled her to hang on to a food and excercise record and diary an appt near an endocrinologist because her PCP have done no workup and shows little concern.

What test should be done to indicate if their is a metabolic disorder going on? I'm thinking cortisol, estrogens, androgens, etc.

Help... my friend is becoming drastically depressed over this!!
