It's Fancy1959 updating everyone my progress in my weight issues following the Wahls diet that Agapepilgrim talked me into following. I've been on it roughly since the 1st of April now. And since that time, not quite 3 weeks, I have dropped in additional 8 pounds. That brings my total weight loss now to 25 pounds! All I have to say is thank you thank you thank you Agapepilgrim! As she indicated I am watching my middle shrink right before my eyes! I still have another 15 pounds to loose but now matter of if I can do it, but when I can do it. The way I am going I anticipate to be down to my 130 range sometime in june! And because I'm seeing such wonderful results it's very easy for me to follow this diet.
To break it down to its simplest form, I simply eat 5 helpings of fruits and vegetables everyday before I am allowed to eat anything else. I don't eat any dairy products and I stay away from all grains. Since the body cannot digest dairy products and whole grain very efficiently. If I have to have a piece of bread I eat a piece of sourdough bread. As far as bread goes it is the best out there for you due to the fact that it has very low sugar added to it while making it. Also, the dough is actually fermented so it has active good bacteria that actually helps to digest your food and it contains protein.
If you have tried other diets and have been unsuccessful with sustained weight loss I recommend this diet. Besides the weight loss benefits, this diet is also reported to have positive effects on MS reducing internal inflammation in the body. I guess for me it's very easy to follow because of my love of fruit and salads. Give it a try, what do you have to lose except extra pounds that you have been carrying around?πππππ€
