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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
