    According to the "Escape your Shape" guy, it depends on your body shape with the weights. My body is a spoon, any resistance on the bottom area makes my body bigger. He also had two people, one was a runner and the other one used weights but wasn't a professional body builder. Who looked thinner and leaner? The runner of course. The person who exercised...

    Oh! So that's where I get the 3500 calories from...Thanks for the info! Are those frozen chicken strips at Trader Joes salty? That's why I don't by the Purdue or Tycson brands...too salty.

    Great to hear you're doing well. That shake plan sounds like slim fast. I, who has a healthy appetite, starves on shakes. That's why I love low carb. I'm not so hungry all the time. The trick is to eat enoug carbs to keep from getting tired, and depressed. I've been sick with a sinus infection the last week and my weight flucutated up a couple...

    Suzanne Somer's endocrinologist said when your body is healing you will gain weight. It's temporary and when it's better the weight will come off. Nothing was causing a weight loss for me except giving up grains and not eating so many nuts. So I'm going low carb. Now I'm sick with a sinus infection and on antibiotics. I feel so bloated. I take probiotics...

    I hear ya girl. I couldn't use the Gazelle either. I was born with congenital hip displasure. By the time I was 45 I had pretty bad arthritis and my quality of life was very bad. Yoga even hurt. It was probably mostly from gluten causing the immune reaction manifesting as arthritis. I had both hips replaced in 2004. I'm now ceramic! Doctor wants...

    OR, You could have viral diarrhea. I had it one time for a month straight and nothing I took stopped it. It just slowed it down. I lost 7 pounds, but it finally stopped. May just have to run it's course.

    Isn't a pound of fat 3500 calories? That's what I read. I'm down 6 pounds now from when I started going gluten free. My weight fluctuated wildly at first because my body was adjusting to the new diet and healing. Now I'm starting to lose a pound a week. This week I lost 2 pounds. (Go Dr. Atkins!) I like losing 2 pounds a week. I adheard more strictly...

    Probiotics kill yeast and also saurkraut, if you're dairy intolerant.

    Hi, I checked out your plan too. It's very expensive! A 9 day plan is $159.00! In my opinion these kinds of plans don't work in the long run. A person has to find a normal way of eating that works for them that they can stick with. I understand about the Estrothin. My sister won't try it either. She thinks there's too many things in that would...

    I've also read that putting kids on a natural diet, remove all junk, cake, candy, soda, diet anything, ice cream, and processed foods, including any with artificial colors or flavors, makes a huge turn around in their attitude. My 16 year old is going through his brooding phase. Not talking much or being very affectionate. He hides in his tornado struck...

    Yeah, he cautions about the nuts. My weight starts creeping up when I eat too many nuts. I'm following Dr. Atkins' Age Defying Diet now, except I'm not eating too much red meat because it flares up my arthritis. I'm eating fish and turkey. wow. If I give up the turkey, I'll be semi-vegetarian! That's the best I can hope for...my only problem is...

    Good luck with your plan. I tend to shy away from supplements because I'm very sensitive to them and I'll get a 2 day migraine if I'm intolerant. I did find an herbal supplement that I take daily. It's called Estrothin. It's a liquid and you take a dropper full every day up to 2 dropper fulls as needed. It's specially made for us menopausal ladies...

    Uh, that's what I just said. I was referring to the difference between gluten intolerance and wheat "allergy". Your gluten intolerance genes are probably recessive and not a dominate gene. That's why they never activated. My gluten intolerance gene is a dominate gene and my celiac gene is the recessive gene. I have gluten intolerance, but...

    What I found out from Dr. Fine's website was that celiac disease is different from a wheat allergy. The body doesn't make histamine and react in the same way as an allergy. Celiac disease is when the body identifies the gluten as a foreign invader like a bacteria and attacks it with white blood cells just like if it were an infection. The Iga is the indication...

    I'm beginning to attribute my fatigue to stress and age, plus menopause. I had my harmones checked and they said they were normal, except for menopause... I thought going gluten free would make a big difference but I have no more energy than I did before. I do have a lot of allergies, citrus, grass, dust, tree pollen. Hey, but I can think clearer now and...

    My problem was that I didn't know what AFAIK means. Sorry about that. And as I mentioned I was trying to be cocky...(funny). Yes the letter from the FDA, that's why I posted the link to Dr. Mercola's video. You should listen to the video. It will explain the evilness...

    I was thinking of going on a vegan diet, then I realized I wouldn't get enough protein becuase I can't tolerate beans or grains. My weight starts creeping upward! I was back on vegetables and fish and no dairy. Fish gets tired quick so I cracked and bought some red meat (lamb, liver) but I added potatoes this week and my weight did not budge! Well, at...

    Thank you for your observations.. I work in a medical school for two division chiefs of neonatology in pediatrics. My boss is skeptical also.. I even gave him tea and he said he felt better the next day after drinking it but he still wouldn't keep drinking it while he was sick and his cold hung on for another week and a half...I can also report that I...

    Then how do you explain elderberry's ability to prevent colds and flu. My sons are my study. My oldest used to get bronchitis like clockwork every October that almost would go into pneumonia. Since he's been regularly eating elderberry, he hasn't gotten sick...period. Now, how would something that increases inflammation prevent someone from getting sicker...

    I tried Zycam. Didn't do a damn thing for me... Sorry. I think I've tried everything out there, from zinc to echinacea to chicken soup which also did nothing. (except elderberry which I now swear by) I do believe that colds are transmitted by hand to hand contact aren't they? You touch something that the sick person touched then rub your eye or...
  23. Mayflowers
    Yes it did look like you were referencing my post Michi8, since you posted right after I said elderberry kills the cold, flu and pneumonia virus and I felt you were being rude to me, but I didn't mention that in my post. I have a dry sense of humor that sometimes gets misunderstood. It's time for people to understand that drug companies are manipulating...

    Well that's stupid that they label it celiac disease only if there's damage? How stupid is that? I'm only gluten intolerant until there's damage. right. It's like gluten intolerance is the higher end of the same disease. Why are they trying to split it up? We really need Dr. Fine's work published already.

    Enterolab does the gene test that I had done. It's easy. They send you two swabs and you just rub the inside of your mouth at the cheek area and let it dry and send it back. That's how I found out I have the celiac and the gluten intolerance gene. No one in my family ever knew we had the celiac gene. I was really surprised to find it out. My sister still...
