Re: gluten/weight lost/weightlifting

Hi Tony,

No, When I started HCG, I was at my lowest, most inactive. I didn't have any

muscle to start with due to the years of inactivity.

After I lost the weight (and more so because of reduced pain levels due to the

low carb diet), I was able to do some regular swimming and weight lifting. This

was over the summer last year and it was the best I had been physically (except

for worsening POTS).

You can lose muscle with the diet if you are not eating right. You must follow

the plan exactly. If you do, you will not lose muscle and it will be stored body

fat that you lose.
