Weight Loss & Gain while on Diet

[Guest guest]

Hello Ladies,

I thought I would share about my weight loss and gains while on Bee's diet. My

history does involve past weight and hormone issues.

My weight has fluctuated 12-15 pounds while consistantly on Bee's diet for over

2 years.

(I've added a note at the very end regarding my thoughts on women who have not

had weight issues or " known " hormone issues in the past.)

In the first two months of Bee's diet, I lost 15 pounds which stayed off for a

year. After that, I gained back 12 without changing what I ate nor exercising.

Some history:

I do have hormone issues and 4 fibroids. Known female issues started at age 16

with an ovarian cyst. I was on and off the pill since 17 until my late

twenties.

In my early twenties, I weighed around 148 and stood 5'9 " . My late twenties, I

started to gain weight.

By age 38, in February 08, my highest weight was 196 at 5'7 " . (Not sure how I

lost 2 " s in height. Maybe some whiplashes in my neck and osteoarthritis in my

back?) I went on a diet based on the principles of Weston A. Price. Lost

weight but very hungry. The diet was still high in sugars and starches.

By July 29, 08, I was down 35 pounds to 164. I was only able to lose another 3

up tol November 5, 08 putting me at 161. While my health improved slightly, I

was still quite sick.

On November 5, I started Bee's diet at 161. The first 17 days, I lost 9 pounds.

By January 3 almost two months later, I was down a total of 15 pounds to 146.

I maintained around 146 for the first year of Bee's diet. At the beginning of

the second year on the diet, my weight crept up 12 pounds in a few months to

158.

I maintained around 158 for the next year until last week, I was up to 164!

Then guess what, yesterday I was back down to 158.5. I lost 5.5 pounds in 5

days.

While my weight has fluctuated, I have been progressing toward health. So many

things have improved as I noted in a success story I reported not too long ago.

With regards to women who have never had previous weight or " known " hormone

issues, hormones are a touchy thing. I would think that hormones would flucuate

during the disease process (lack of oxygen, nutrients, overload of toxins and

stress) and healing process (oxgyen, new nutrients, detoxification and less

stress).

Bee also talks about hormones in this article.

Just my two cents. Bee can pipe in more if she so chooses.

+++Hi ,

Thank you for your thorough report on your weight gains and losses. I'm sure it

will help other women be less concerned about their weight gain and/or

fluctuations in weight on this program.

So far only 1 woman of the 6 questionnaires I've received is on the edge of

being over weight. All of the others have Normal Weight, so it seems like the

body's idea of what is good weight is different than the women think their

weight should be.

Luv & Hugs, Bee
