Overall water retention - Anyone else?
I have been GF for 4 years and found that it obliterated my migraines and joint pain. Over time, I thought that I could tolerate small amounts because the headaches didn't return. Now that I am very specifically working to get fit and lose weight I notice massive changes in my weight when I eat gluten. I am talking about…

8 weeks later, back for help please...

Best approach to find true TDEE - Scooby calc or Fitbit calorie burn averages?
