It was only when I stopped dieting to lose weight did my health recovery start. As often in the case of autoimmune diseases or obesity it starts with a leaking gut syndrome which I am sure was a fact in my case. It only took 30 days for my pain to become well managed but 180 days for my IBS symptoms to fully resolve and stay that way.
this may be why I weight loss slowed being that I have RA and like you have lost inches. how did you resolve leaky gut? Also have you tried Glutamine-L?1 -
I haven't seen this before but great post! On the Atkins bars/shakes. Oddly enough those are the only brand that, to me, taste good and DON'T bother my stomach in any way.0

@rugged1529 all I did was go LCHF which automatically occurred when I cut out sugar and all forms of all grains Oct 2014. It was about six months later when I realized the IBS of 40 years had left. Not sure when it actually happened. I still do 2-5 tablespoons of coconut oil in my first cup of coffee daily plus eat a cup or two of coconut flakes through out the day.

One of the good ones. YES, I'm bumping stuff.
1. because we've gotten about 1,000 new users in the past month or so and...
2. because I've lowered my own carbs "for reals" because I'm ready to shed the menopounds and gonna do it via a lower carb approach (rather than my 16+ years of super successful SLOW carbing).

For the last 1-1.5 months I have noticed this new trend where I bob up and down with my weight and really havent lost anything. However the scale says ive lost nothing (or gained) but I have lost 7 inches?! THIS confuses me lol! I have even taken pictures and you can SEE a difference but I weight the same exact number I did in the last pic?! Really if anyone can explain the whys of this it be helpful! Im not giving up or tossing in the towel im just really confused is all.
This has happened to me too when I've lost weight. The way I see it... you are losing real weight/fat that you thought you lost the first weeks, which was really just water weight. So, the number on the scale stays the same, because now your body's fat loss is catching up with the false number water weight shows on the scale.2 -
I'm sure someone will post the bit about white fat to brown fat conversion. I've read about it. It is a possibility. Not something I necessarily think explains why bodies shrink without weight loss (without exercise/recomp). Do a google search on white fat brown fat for some info.1

You can get rid of the glycogen quick by fasting (12-14 hrs or so). The body only stores about 1600 cals of glycogen from what I've read. Don't eat for a day and you will use up more than that forcing you to burn fat.5
