Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 So, your experience disproves my theory. Did your weight loss get to the point of being debilitating or life-threatening? Glad you're feeling better!! And pat yourself on the back for doing it the healthy way and probably not having it recur. An aside: I, too, always had to work at keeping my weight up but turning 45 changed that!! But, I caught it at the 10 lbs over, lost that and maintain now, with a lot of effort. But it's worth it. An aside, aside: why is it OK to tell a thin person they're thin, but, it's RUDE to tell a fat person, they're fat!! Just a little pet peeve of mine :-) Re: Losing weight , I will give you my experience. I have never been overweight, matter of fact, have to work on keeping my weight up.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Welcome, <rsslkbr@...>you have found a sharing and knowledgable audience. Hang with this group, and you will be well rewarded, with factual information, for advanced than what you might find elsewhere. My understanding is that estrogen is stored in fat, so that extra forty pounds is storing lots of extrogen, if you are low on T, you may be high in estrogen. My suggestion is to jump on all three, get supplimentation in T, something to lower your estrogen, and do your exercises. If at all possible, get a hormone panel done at your earliest convience by the medics. And you will then know, Then post here your results, and some folks here can suggest your precise actions to take, Perhaps if you gave your age, more knowledgable people here may recommend specific suggestions. kind regards david > > folks, I have a question. > > I have low testosterone.

My question is, if I exercise (like lets say >walk 3-4 miles a day) and control my diet, will it still be difficult >for me to lose weight with low Testosterone? I so badly want to get >thinner! How low is your T? With your weight, odds are quite good that your E2 (estradiol levels are high). Testosterone is converted to E2 (an estrogen) by an enzyme called aromotase, which is found abundantly in fat cells. This conversion can sometimes be strong enough to lower total T by 200 to 300 points. I would strongly urge an E2 test. http://f1.grp.fs.com/v1/kGQBRgaPtVDBo6Krw7gGQxFHYtNPEtC6DVNzgU-d8CR6txb3X5v\ tbaXSuUOWzj6-KxC7eIXDGe0kiGnXWPc-wF9aM591lttAREuonzM/Study%20on%20Arimidex.pdf If your E2 is high you will have a very hard time losing weight. Your body is trying to lay down a female fat pattern because of the estrogen levels. Low T will make it hard to add muscle and get lean. It is possible however that if your T is low for another reason you will not have higher E2 levels. The combo of low T and low E2 can lead to bone density loss, osteopenia, osteoporosis and broken bones. This is another important reason tog et tested and get on the right treatment. Low T also reduces energy and mental focus and " drive " . I'm guessing you find it hard to work out as often as you'd like and hard to work out as hard as you set out to do. Raising your T (with controlling E2 levels) will give you more energy, more strength and make trimming down far easier. ----- " Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit atrocities.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It will be hard work, but if your endocrine system is actually working, then over time you will get in better shape and your T should go back up. Whatever you do, do not starve yourself, and do not resort to long bouts of cardio. Both of those things lead to loss of what muscle you have, and make things worse. To increase testosterone naturally, you need to do exercise that makes you stronger. I've recently gotten into the crossfit.com " Workout of the Day " (WOD). I have a lot of the needed equipment at home. Sometimes it's bodyweight stuff, sometimes it's with a barbell, sometimes it's running on the treadmill or around a track. Check it out! If you don't care to go to a gym or have the equipment, you can start doing bodyweight exercises. Check out rosstraining.com and his book " Never Gymless " . Working on pull-ups, pushups, body squats and core exercises will serve you well. You can get a pullup bar that hangs in the doorway and needs no permanent attachments. Doesn't cost to much either, and you don't need much equipment (maybe a swiss ball) to do the other exercises. Also, what you eat is very important. Whole foods, never sugar, never refined carbs, grains rarely, fruit sometimes, and lot's of vegetables will be good for you, as well as supplementation with essential fatty acids from olive oil, grapeseed oil, fish oil, etc. Check out precisionnutrition.com ( Berardi) and also crossfit.com. At crossfit.com they have a link to a free PDF copy of their journal that talks about all around fitness, and mentions diet in a side bar. I went from about 230 pounds to about 185 just by changing my diet a few years ago. However, because I am truly hypogonadal, I could not regain any strength until I went on HRT. Hopefully you will be more fortunate that I. Building muscle will cause your metabolism to gradually go up around the clock. But heck, walking is better than nothing, and if you can just do that, do it! Oh yeah, drink LOTS of water. You will need extra water to flush out the toxins that your fat cells will release as you lose weight. Best of luck!

I read in the GAPS book that grains are not allowed, yet in the BED they are....I don't know what to do....I know we've added more fats in the diet, but is that the only food that will help add weight? I'm at a loss as to which diet to follow in "gaining weight". My kids complain about being hungry even after eating a full meal, fats and all.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I understand losing weight on this diet, but I don't understand being hungry. There is no restriction on the amount of food, so if you are hungry EAT MORE! Eat a pound of meat if that is what it takes. Yes, fat is important but so is protein. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet originally started out as a low-carb diet (http://scdiet.com/haas.html) with specific carbohydrates added back in. I believe that, at its heart, it should still be based on meats (with their natural fats) and vegetables. You may crave a lot of food as your body builds up nutrients. This is OK, even good. Your body also has to learn to run on different fuel than it has been used to using (fats instead of sugars and starches). If you are serving a meal that used to contain a lot of starch without the starch then you need to up the quantity of other food until people are satisfied. This is not to say that you can eat all that you want if you are like me, and easily gain weight, but if you are losing weight AND hungry the solution is eat more. - --- Kandee Edge <klehre2002@...> wrote: > Ok, my kids need to gain weight.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 It's probably my fault for not feeding them enough. They eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, sometimes they get millet/flaxseed toast with butter and honey. Sometimes they get almond pancakes. For lunch and dinner, we have veggies and meats and sometimes red potatoes. My husband feeds them illegal foods when I'm not around, because he wants to fatten them up, so to speak. I struggle at trying to buy the right groceries. I've been following the SCD diet and using those recipes. We've done a lot of butternut squash and spaghetti squash. I used avocados a lot at first, but I think they lost their taste for them and won't eat them, so I want to reintroduce it again later. They are really good at eating their meats. I've also made kefir and made smoothies with it and just recently started giving them raw milk again to see how they react. We've been on the diet for 2 months and we had the kids on raw milk prior to starting the diet. We came off of milk until just this week...It's one of the few foods that actually helped stop my oldest from having asthma attacks and she's been asthma free for over a year. I was so concerned about their lack of weight gain, that I was hoping the milk would help. I don't know if I should do that or not. I haven't been able to successfully use coconut oil, but I do have some. I'd love more ideas of incorporating that into the diet. Every time I use it, I get frustrated. It either burns and gums up my iron skillet and the food sticks, or it hardens when it's put into a cold smoothie. I feel like I spend all day in the kitchen and still have hungry kids staring at me.

My husband feeds them illegal foods when I'm not around, because he wants to fatten them up, so to speak. I've been following the SCD diet and using those recipes. Kandee, From what you have listed, you are not following the SCD diet--millet, flax, potatoes and known illegals are not on the diet. Both SCD and GAPS stress how it is important to be 100% vigilant with what you feed in order for the gut to heal, so that food can be absorbed, so that weight can be gained. I am not pointing this out to be unkind nor inflammatory, but this diet is a ton of (IMO wasted) work if you don't follow it ridgedly, as you can not hope to reap the benefits of the diet without full compliance. For this diet to have any hope of working, both you and your husband need to be on the same page as to what diet you are following and what foods you are feeding.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think is right. We are used to eating more grains and starches so we need to compensate with more food. I just went to the farmer's market and bought 5 dozen eggs. When we used to eat toast with our eggs, or oatmeal, we would eat less eggs. So now I give my husband 4 eggs instead of 3 eggs -- and I often give him bacon or sausage with it. Same thing goes for meat -- he eats a lot of meat. I have to remember to give him more meat because normally he would eat potatoes or something else starchy along with his meat. Last night I made sashimi, seaweed salad and miso soup. Normally I would make sushi -- but we can't have rice. I realized that I didn't buy enough fish for the sashimi. Normally we end up with too much but last night we didn't have enough. This is because we usually fill up more on the rice. I think the soups and broths are very filling too. It's amazing how full I feel after eating 8 ounces of homemade carrot soup. I think if you can try to serve either broth or soup made with broth at lunch and dinner, that will help. We are currently having broth with all 3 meals. If you are doing beans (we are not yet), you could make huge batches of lentil or black bean soup and freeze it -- then serve that with meat for meals. The other great thing about beans is you can incorporate broth into the beans (soak in water, then cook in broth instead of water). I find that what I have to do is roast a chicken or duck (you could also do a turkey or goose) at least once or twice a week. That way we have lots of meat for snacking. He snacks a lot and complains when there is nothing to snack on. He is always happy to snack on chicken or duck meat. I'm also going to make a brisket tomorrow night -- then we'll have more meat for him to snack on. (If he doesn't eat it all in one sitting -- LOL!) I need to find a recipe for homemade beef jerky (made with honey and naturally fermented soy sauce) -- I want to make that for him in large batches. I'm also going to start hardboiling eggs every few days. He won't eat a plain hardboiled egg but he will eat deviled eggs -- it's one of his favorites. And this is a great way for me to sneak coconut oil into his diet. I make the mayo with half olive oil and half coconut oil. He normally hates coconut oil but he cannot taste it in the mayo. I think smoothies are also a wonderful way to hide nutrient dense foods (coconut oil, raw egg yolks, nutritional yeast, etc.) We are not on kefir yet and DH does not like coconut milk so I can't give him those yet -- but soon! (I am allowing myself kefir -- I have no problems digesting it. That is the only dairy I still eat -- otherwise I'm sticking to the plan with him exactly to show solidarity.)

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm not complaining....thrilled to bits actually. I've lost a full dress size in 4 months. Hopeful of losing another and not a diet in sight. Geraldine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some people complain about weight gains on LDN, some about weight loss, just to confuse the issue.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 You said it, people will want to start LDN JUST for weight loss! The simple fact or act of loosing weight helps bring a high blood glucose down a bit, so there would be some merit in that, too, for the diabetics among us.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I am eating like a horse, doing very little physical activity and finding it hard to keep weight on! I am far from skinny, but since the LDN have found if I don't eat hearty portions and regularly, I have a tendency to lose weight - no idea why!
