Re: Damaged lymph system
"How else can one explain a 40+ pound weight gain over the course of 3 months while actually reducing calories, AND any junk food in the diet, all the while exercising? This is what happened to me..."
This is what brought me to Curezone. I was experiencing the same thing.
I used to follow a bodybuilder diet (protein powder, meat, some veggies, eggs; I also took ephedra and other fat burners). I lost 15lbs (gained while on B/Control) and my bodyfat went down to 22%. Great! However, I reached a plateau. I couldn't break it. I took the summer off (gained some fat/weight stayed the same). I started training again this fall. Same diet, new exercises, low calories (x10-12 bodyweight). Yet, I was gaining weight. I gained 6lbs in 3-4 weeks.
A light bulb went off. Something inside of me was wrong. I remember my mom always poking my stomach when I was younger. I've always had bloating issues. I did the no-dairy, no wheat, etc., etc., nothing worked. I've had the same "pouch" since I was kid.
Since doing oil pulling, a bowel cleanse, use of herbs, detox baths, skin brushing, 3 Liver Flushes, completely changing my diet - alkalizing (lots of good oils, no dairy, no wheat, more fruits & veggies & A LOT less protein), I noticed I was getting leaner. The scale hasn't changed much (-5lbs). But, pockets of fat are getting smaller. My face, back & legs look leaner.
I started a
parasite cleanse last week (Black Walnut, Blessed Herbs Digestive Stimulator, Cloves & Pumpkin Seeds). My bloat has gone down significantly. I noticed this evening that my pouch has a dent in it. At first I thought it was a mark from my jeans. But, no, my pouch is getting flatter.
Thanks to what I have learned on Curezone. I am convinced I will have a "flat, sleek midsection" by the Spring.
