Re: Re: I need DESSERT!!!!-adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

How do you cure adrenal fatigue?

>The C and bloating will make you feel and weigh you heavier than normal. I

would hazard a guess that is contributing to it. Hypothyroid is not the same as

adrenal fatigue but they usually go together -- if you have hypo for a long

time, you generally have adrenal fatigue because the adrenal glands are trying

to take up the slack of the underperforming thyroid. Tired after a night's

sleep is a sure sign of adrenal fatigue.

not to overdo. You are trying to heal your body and sometimes exercise (on top

of daily living) is too much until healing and correction of problems takes

place.

>Thanks for your response. I have gained about 10 pounds in the past 2 years of

being laid up. I was 110 lbs at 5'1 " . Being short means it all goes around the

middle so 120 feels a bit heavy for me and packing on anymore would make me feel

ugh. I feel heavy though because of my bloat and C. Then when I eat a good meal

I feel even heavier and " backed up " . But I'll give it time and let my gut do

some more healing which is the first priority anyway over weight. Hypothyroid is

adrenal fatigue, is it not? I have had that for years and years, used to drive

myself relentlessly to do exercise and the last 2 years just could not. So now

I've started a yoga class once a week and am trying to get myself to walk

everyday, even if only for 10 minutes. Exercise, if I can get myself to do it,

boosts my cortisol levels which are bottomed out in the mornings. I'm usually

totally exhausted when I wake up and start the day.

>I suppose the weight issue is one of how active are you? Most people report

that eventually the diet 'normalizes' a person's weight to one that is right for

that person. Of course, it is always possible to eat too much and gain weight,

but usually the food is so dense that you will feel 'yuck' if you do it too

much. Just like foods tolerated, it is a very individual thing. And yes,

people have gained weight ON the diet, but not usually BECAUSE of the diet --

usually it is because they are eating more calories than they are using. I

wouldn't worry about this in the beginning of the diet because as you heal you

will require a lot of calories -- just make sure they are from varied food

sources. For example one nut muffin is like 350 - 400 calories. Most people

freak at this thought, but if you aren't eating the starches and sugar that

normally resides in regular muffins, it is o.k because you are actually getting

more nutrients vs. the empty calories

> of a regular muffin and that makes all the difference in the world. I am 5'

4 " and weigh 138 lbs (with hypothyroid problems) and wear about a size 8-10. I

eat 1 muffin, 1 boiled egg, one cup of yogurt with honey and tea or coffee (with

coconut milk) each morning for breakfast. Lunch is usually like a mini dinner

if I have left overs or cheese, nuts, and fruit if I don't. Dinner is usually a

meat and two veggies and dessert a couple of times a week. I do nothing extra

other than keeping up the house, food, laundry and three boys -- in short I

don't 'work out.' I maintain my weight with no problems at all, but I can't

easily lose it either (might be part of the hypothyroid issue).

and after you have been on the diet for quite some time.
