The harder I try to lose weight the more I gain, I am exercising and eating well? What should I try?

Question

I have been to the doctors and tried everything they have said. The people at the gym do not understand why I am gaining. I have been tested for almost everything and I am healthy. I do have gastroparesis and IBS. I really am trying and just don't know what else to do?

Answer 1

Have you had your bloodwork done? Are you gaining weight in the stomach? If your testosterone levels are high, this could be a sign of insulin resistance, this is where your body stores sugar instead of using it as energy. This is also a sign of polycyctic ovarian syndrome. I continued to gain weight after exercising profusely and the docs found this.

Answer 2

Balancing weight is hard because everyone's body is different. But it boils down to calories in vs calories out. You have to take in a constant flow of nutrition with low calories and keep moving to expend calories. Food that digest slowly are less willing to put on fat (like fruits and veggies) and fast digesting foods, leave you hungry and stack on the calores, like pastas and breads and such.

Eat healthy but eat often (smaller meals-snacks)

I use the food supplement JuicePLus+ it is filling and healthy and I am not hungry and I am more healthy because I'm getting good nutrition

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.

· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat. Linked to heart diseases, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis, etc.
3) nothing fried, sauté in olive oils
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories goes straight to the butt or gut
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.chemicals, chemicals
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.)
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows; your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, B-12 and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

good luck
