It's almost as if lead in my bones comes and goes. I know that if I follow a formal diet where I track everything and keep calories/fat under a certain amount, I will lose weight, but it's just so strange.


I’m just gonna throw this out there... because of dealing with an ED from a very young age, I stumbled across something interesting.. our body’s will hang on to calories more if it’s cold , like a Storm front blowing through. Our body’s use extra calories to keep us warm. So it makes sense biologically.. the advice was to take carbs totally off the menu for 4-5 days and it restarts the weight loss.

I have found this to be true personally Maybe it’s all hoohaa but maybe worth a shot
