weight loss/gain

like you I lost weight after a couple of months on Acalabrutinib then got back to my normal weight after 6 months. 14 months in I’m still at my normal weight. I’ve never had tea or coffee and have always drunk loads of water. Neck, groin, armpits, abdomen and groin lumps disappeared after 4 months.

Thanks Julianlydes. Most interesting. Reading yesterday's posts on this subject, it seems as if people's weight gain or loss vary quite a bit on Acalabrutinib.

It makes me wonder what contributes to the different responses, if gender might make a difference?

Of course what and when we eat could affect things as well. We know from the Zoe studies on diet with identical twins that everybody's gut reacts differently to different food and weight gain / loss is a highly individual thing. Add in Acalabrutinib, and you have yet another variable.

What and when we eat definitely plays a role. Why we eat what we eat when we eat it is the key to the answer.

LeoPa--that is an interesting answer. Can you say more --particularly about the 'why we eat'? Curious about your thoughts about this.

The short answer is it is in the hormonal balance. Different foods affect our hormones differently. Pls read Good calories bad calories by Gary Taubes
