Building muscle strength

[Guest guest]

Hi,

It's really important that I rebuild the strength in my legs but I'm finding it

difficult to do that on this diet. I'm reasonably healthy in other respects

apart from my chronic pain so I should be able to regain my strength.

I have benefited from this diet and I'd like to stick with it, but I've always

been taught that it's difficult to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time,

and on this diet I'm always slowly losing weight. So I'm tempted to eat a lot of

carbs to get enough calories to build muscle. This is the way I used to do it.

Is this necessary? What else can I do?

+++Hi ,

Your body will build muscle strength and size naturally if you give it what it

needs to do its job. When you're unhealthy your body must put most of its

resources and energy into getting healthy and not into muscles which are less

important for health than ensuring the health of internal organs like the heart,

liver, digestive system, etc.

Of course toxins make the muscles weak too. When your body becomes more

efficient detoxifying itself your muscles will have more strength too. Also

muscles are made up of cells, and in order for all cell membranes to be healthy

they must be constructed out of 50% saturated fats, i.e. butter, lard, coconut

oil and other natural occurring animal fats, which takes time.

In the meantime toxins make all cell membranes rigid/stiff that causes another

problem since red blood cells will also be rigid as explained in this article

and they carry oxygen and nutrients to all cells:

Of course carbs make anyone unhealthy!

++++Hi Nuala,

Fibromyalgia means " muscle pain " . As I just wrote, toxins cause muscle and joint

pain and also fatigue. That's why you should not over-exercise since it takes

away resources and strength your body needs to heal itself. Instead do these

mild forms of exercise:

You are very welcome for the recipes. For others reading this, recipes are on

my website:

And also I have a Candida Recipes Group:

As I get time I post recipes from the group onto my website.

All the best, Bee
