Re: Brittle nails/weight gain

[Guest guest]

You know, I've noticed my nails have been chipping and breaking a lot

too. I've NEVER had trouble with my nails, always able to grow them

long, and strong. I, too have been on the program fully since last

summer, though on the diet since April 2010, and mostly there for a year

before that.

And I am probably in the category of women gaining weight on this

program. I've seen it slowing inching up for about a month now, up

about 3-4 lbs so far.

+++Hi ,

Nails that chip, break and are brittle is because of toxins coming out through

them, like I wrote to - see my reply.

What is your body mass index as calculated here:

my BMI is

*Body Mass Index:* 22.9 kg/m^2

*Waist-to-Height ratio:* 0.48

*Percent Body Fat:* 30.2%

*Lean Body Mass:* 92.8 lb

I don't consider myself overweight, at all. In fact I'm still at about

the lowest I've been since I started having children 21 years (and 8

children) ago, but as I said, I can see a trend toward creeping up in

weight. When I first went very low carb 2 years ago I dropped to low

120's, regained to about 130, and have in the past month or so seen that

creeping upward. NOTHING to complain about, expect I'd like it to not go

much higher.

You know, it just dawned on me, I also just recently weaned my youngest

(about a month ago), so for the first time in almost 22 years I am

neither nursing or pregnant - I supposed those hormone changes could

have something to do with the weight, huh?

+++Hi ,

Since your BMI is normal I won't send you the questionnaire. We all know that

it is your own body that decides what weight is best for it, no matter what we

" think " it should be.

If your weight is creeping up it may be related to hormones, but always ensure

your carbs are low, according to your ratios.

All the best, Bee
