Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I too have seemed to gain weight, and I have been on 50 mgs + since About March or April. Jag From: spacejunkie2001us <scastor@...>Subject: weight lossiodine Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009, 8:52 PM are there many on this forum that have seen significant weight loss from being on iodine?so far I've gained weight being on it (about 4 months so far). I feel alot better being on it (more energy, less brain fog) but definitely not weight loss. I'm certain I'm still detoxing but I'd love to hear what other, long termers have to say about it.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm at 50 mg, just dropped down from 75 due to excessive gum/jaw pain. Yes, it's Iodoral.~WOn Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 8:26 AM, S <plshake@...> wrote:  , How much iodine are you taking- is it Iodoral?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Good for you Karin, I am glad you are loving T-Tapp. I have been doing it for about 10 years and couldn't imagine doing any other workout.... > > > > I am losing weight with low carb (no grains, starch or sugar) Weston A Price eating (lots of healthy saturated fats, meat and veggies). I also started the T-Tapp work out and losing inches swiftly from a daily 15 min work out. I swear to God! I have looked at her web site for months and her DVDs were pricey to me so I kept putting it off but I finally bought it and all those stories she has on her website appear to be true. Check it out. > Karin > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I, too, gained weight, about 6 or 7 pounds, mostly in the fourth month of taking 50 mg of Iodoral. When I saw posts indicating it could be related to the Iodine, I cut back to 25 mg about 3 or 4 weeks ago. However, I still seem to have trouble getting the new weight off. My appetite increased in the fourth month of taking Iodoral. Best, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Although what you've indicated is nutritious to me there isn't enough bulk/roughage. The ezekiel bread and almonds are all, the rest completely digests leaving nothing behind so your body feels empty/deprived. Cold celery sticks = negative calories, apples lower cal than bananas or canned mandarins (grated apples taste fine in any jello), cucumbers are low cal and a couple sliced up with a medium tomato with a good splash of cider vinager and a level tsp sugar chilled a few hours can be a nice little guilt-free pig out. Shoot throw a sweet red pepper in to. Brown rice is more filling than white. We can eat pinto beans hot or cold and chopped raw vegies mixed in makes them even more filling. Almost all bottled dressings use soybean oil a no no. Get the package mixes (fresh made dressings taste much better than bottled and you'll be able to eat more salads/vegies) and reduce the olive oil, use cider vinager as white vinager tastes crappy/cheap. It's real important to maximize the flavors of your diet foods and to keep from getting bored and to swap as many tastes as you can in the rotation ie try not to repeat as it'll sour your modivations. You're trying to make diet food that others will look at and say damn that looks good. If your creative juices or modivation flags some one here will help jack you up. > > > > Hey Guys, > I am trying to lose weight I am a type O+ of African descent. What am i > doing wrong?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sharon, This is my typical daily meal: Breakfast: one egg, greens (spinach, kale, etc), green tea Snack: walnuts and banana Lunch: grass fed burger patty (3 oz) with veggie (romaine lettuce with olive oil and lemon, steamed broccoli with ghee, or whatever is leftover in the fridge) and a piece or 2 of dark chocolate (sometimes homemade spelt cookies or cake). Snack: celery or, now that kale is in season, kale ribs dipped in almond butter. Or maybe a compliant energy bar (Larabar or Clif Nectar). Also, I've been enoying tea; dandelion root or kukicha. About once a week before dinner, I enjoy rice crackers with goat cheese. Dinner: Some type of protein, more veggies (hopefully 2 servings) and rice (or rice noodles). Dessert is dark chocolate or something homemade (apple cake made with millet and spelt or brownies or cookies made with spelt). I very rarely eat out and gave up coffee (I used to miss it terribly). Hopefully this helps you!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Coffee creamer and stevia maybe worse than the coffee. All the jello and fruit is no good. Too many carbs for weight loss. Lite dressings are usually higher carb/sugar. Better to get more fat and less carb. Ex-virgin olive oil and some vinegar or lemon juice.would be good. You shouldn't need all those snacks if you were getting enough good food. Beef, turkey, lamb, buffalo -- instead of chicken. How much water are you drinking?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Forgot to mention, don't worry about calories or too much fat in the beginning. It's better to focus on making sure you're eating the " right " foods. When I consume enough good fat and allow myself dark chocolate treats, it's much easier to turn down the wheat filled junk people bring to work Welcome to the new way of eating, you will love it!!!

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi all, I've recently started taking coconut oil for weight loss and am a bit nervous as to whether it will work? i'm no ablt to do much in the way of low carb as i am a vegan and am worried i'll end up putting weight on!! any thoughts gratefully recieved katie x _________________________________________________________________ Send us your Hotmail stories and be featured in our newsletter http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm not sure I understand the logic of adding coconut oil to tea, putting it on oatmeal, or swallowing a tablespoon daily. Coconut oil is a healthy oil to cook with. It was used for cooking in the cultures that have used it for hundreds (thousands?) of years (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Vegetable oils (corn, canola, soy etc.) with their high omega 6 and low omega 3 are not healthy. Olive oil is better, but not stable at high temperature and releases free radicals. Why not simply stop using veg. oils which do you harm and replace with coconut oil when you are cooking? That way you also won't be adding calories to your daily intake.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi, I just joined the group last week and will now jump into the conversation. According to Eat Fat, Lose Fat by Enig & Fallon, taking 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil in warm water or herb tea 20 minutes before each meal helps to suppress appetite and boost metabolism. Pretty much it seems that the majority of the book is filled with the benefits of coconut and weight loss. I'm just getting started with it so I can't say whether it actually works or not. ~Tammy Re: weight loss I'm not sure I understand the logic of adding coconut oil to tea, putting it on oatmeal, or swallowing a tablespoon daily.
