I was a soda fiend! I drank first regular then diet for years and years. I have been off soda for almost two years now besides the occasional indulgence. Not a pound lost! nothing! Cut out sugar, dairy and white flour and NADA! I have just taken to cutting out gluten as well even though I did two elimination diets and did…

I am actually NOT on any meds for my RA right now, I was on some before but have been managing through CAREFUL Diet. I really do not eat much bad stuff at all! I can't or I feel it the next day. So the meds aren't why I am having troubles. (I know the meds put weight on people so it's a good question to ask if I am on any)…

You know I have asked my GP over and over, why am I having trouble losing? I think they sort of brush fat people off, assume we are just lazy and eating too much. She is a lovely lady my GP but I do not feel like she is the best doctor out there. I think she should have recommended an endicronologist a long time ago. I…

And one thing I have always thought meant I had a FAST metabolism is that when I go to the washroom after eating, let's say I eat lettuce, well 1-4 hours later I will see that lettuce in my waste. Pretty much everything I eat, some of it will come through and still be intact. Sorry if that is gross, but I think it might be…

I take Vitamin D 10,000 IU a day but I do want to get checked for vitamin deficiency. I have a requestion form for my blood test, I forgot to ask my doctor to check out my vit d levels, would it be wrong to check off the test on the form?? I have to pay out of pocket for it anyways... is that a big no no? I take curcumin…

Ah yes endicronologist. I will have to make an appointment with one. The amount of specialists I have seen in the past two years is heartbreaking :( I need to get this figured out. I would love to hear more about your experience with this. I feel so absolutely alone in this. I have skinny minny friends who eat whatever…

My problem would most likely be I am not eating nearly enough. I have adopted a fluctuating calorie diet, not intentionally, just what is happening. One day is 50% of my calories, the next I do my best to get to my allotted calories or above. It is actually a diet recommended for those with health problems, interestingly…

Could not agree with this post more!!!!

I actually recommend doing it like that! Alternate day fasting is what it's called and there has been research done that it can even help with all kinds of medical conditions! I am on a gluten, sugar, dairy and pork/redmeat free diet right now for health reasons and I have a very hard time getting enough calories to not…

So amazing!! Thanks for sharing your story

I just read a research study on how fasting and then overeating the next day is an excellent way to cure disease and lose weight (yes CURE disease!) Basically one day u eat 20-50% of your daily calories, then the next you eat whatever you want (within reason of course). One day you will have about 700 calories, the next…

I've done low carb. It worked for months and months, then I eventually gained it all back. I have a lot of weight to lose thanks to some health issues I have so this site is an excellent way to keep track. I am eating no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, just veggies and fruits and ocassional meat. GL if you choose to do low…

It's pretty good! If I could eat cheese I would def make this.
