Can't Lose Weight After Years of Fasting
Hello!
It's so nice to be back on CureZone. It's been so long, they got rid of my username!
I was a pretty active faster for a few years. I would do at least a 30 fast a year, if not, 3 10 day fasts, either with fresh juices or the Master Cleanse. For the last year and a half, I stopped cleansing (because my friends were "concerned" I was fasting too much) and I've gained over 40lbs! Just within the last year and a half! Unfortunately, I also returned to a SAD while I stopped cleansing.
Anyway, I got back on a very mild cleanse and elimination diet. I feel much better--mentally and physically but I don't seem to be dropping any weight. It's been a month of no grains, mostly raw, no
Sugar and my numbers haven't budged.
I'm worried that the fasting (and return to SAD) has caused irreparable damage to my body and I can't lose weight ever again. Hormone imbalance? Enzymes? Any thoughts? Please help!
