Great Book For Those With Weight Problems

I know I am new here, but I got this book a few weeks ago (prior to knowing I has Celiac) and was going to start it if my pain ever eased up.

Anyhow, the book it titled "Body for life for Women" by Dr. Pamela Peeke. In it she challenges everyone to a 12 week challenge. It is all about the three M's of life, Mind, Mouth, Muscle.

I am going to start this program on monday if anyone would care to join me it would be a fun group 12 week challenge. Maybe we could document our success with the plan over the 12 weeks and send it to her --wonder if she would do a write up of the Celiac 12-week challenge? That sure would help us gain exposure to Celiac.

I'll take a look at the book - I am newly diagnosed too and have gained some weight which is driving me crazy. It would be good to have some focused group to keep me on track.

The book is such a great read, I am on my second time through it in as many weeks. It walks you through normal women and their results, not the super crazy flukes that find tremendous success that can't be duplicated. This book is filled with story after story of women who tried, made excuses, quit, started again, made excuses quit and well, they know all the excuses.

It walks you through the whys, hows and what fors we find ourselves with the "pudge" we don't like. How to exercise as a real woman with a real job, real house, real scheduls and don't have time for all this exercise and everything else.

Part of losing weight, keeping it off and sticking with something, anything the rest of your life is in treating your mind. Finding out what your motivation to do someting, not the super model that you would love to throw somthing at next door.

She walks you through firguring out what triggers you, what motivates you and how to keep YOU motivated all on your own. This is why so many people who have gone through her 12-week challenge, all laid out in the book have stuck with it for the rest of their lives. She doesn't spoon feed you, today eat one egg and drool over everything else. Tomorrow, comb 3 hairs out of place, ........ No, the 12-week challenge helps you find a healthy mind, body and soul, in your own terms and in your own way.

She does have a website, I haven't really read much on the site because I spend most of my time with the book.

I should add I purchased the book at Barnes and Noble not from her site. I also found it the other day at the library.

One thing she says all the way through her book is:

You'll do fine if you love yourself for your strengths, build on them, and live life more joyfully. Heck, you deserve it. Keep saying that!

If you guys want a challenge, but more importantly want to lose ALL of the weight you gained and HEAL your intestines completely, start the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet). You can find more information at www.breakingtheviciouscycle.com. I urge you to start this diet!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am willing to join in! I have about 10 or 15 I would love to lose. Since going gluten free on 01/09/06 I have increased my sugar intake and that is not good. I may follow more of Oprah's bootcamp for the 12 weeks. But focus on eating whole natural foods and increasing my exercise.

I am so in!

This is so great to see so many of you interested in the challenge. Give me a day or two to set up a forum for it on my website. I would like to post a "before and after" picture if you guys don't mind sharing your mugs. It will give you a place to "blog" your happy and not so happy days.

I must admit that I am only a week and a half into my gluten-free diet, but really, I am starting to sleep better and have more energy. Just this morning my husband announced "Your face doesn't seem to have the perma frown from the pain, you must be feeling better". That has made the days on end of stewed tomatoes all worth it.

PS, I have found foods to eat, but it was a ton of research!

As promised, for those of you wanting to participate in this 12-week challenge, I have set up the forum on my website so that each of you can share your progress and support one another in the challenge. You can find it at.

I will post mine a little later today, but I have been revamping the site and still have quite a bit of work to do, so it might take a few days to get my before picture and "story" put up.

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Is it gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
