Complaining about not loosing...

I have seen lots of posts where people are upset because they've tried everything and still aren't loosing the weight.

Just one question....Do you have food allergies?

A lot of times people have mild food allergies(sensitivites) and they don't even know it. After you eat something does it cause you to have mood swings or crave more of it. Or sometimes you'll notice that after eating something you will get a little bit of sinus pressure directly behind your nose or eyes.

Well, If you do have food seesitivities then that could cause you to not loose weight. Try an elimination diet(if you've never done one then ask your Dr. about it). Most common allergies include...dairy, wheat, eggs, artificial sweetners, choc, nuts, and even sugar.

Although you may not break out in hives or go into anaphylactic shock. You may still have sensitivities, and one side effect of that is bloating and weight gain.

I hope this is of some help to anyone that may be struggling. :heart:
