losing weight:Response to Don Eitner

[Guest guest]

Thank you for at least responding to my post. I was hoping someone

would reply. You answered the way I was anticipating. I want to

answer all of these questions.....hopefully you are still willing to

help me in some way.????????????????????

About 5 years ago I started going to my Chiropractor who is a

homeopath....actually a kinesiologist. Are you familiar? Anyhow, he

was very good and helped me alot...unfortunately I am not able to go

to him anymore but he taught me alot about being healthy. ALot of

what he told me it worked, but I didnt take seriously....I tried some

things a couple of weeks...got better and went on with my life. I

was working alot and had 2 little kids ....I needed a quick patch.

It wasnt until after my 3rd son was born and my mom started going

through physical problems (cancer caused by what they called

polycystic ovarian syndrome) that I started to wake up and realize

that I needed to change they way I lived. I had to quit work because

my thyroid had enlarged and I was so fatigued I couldnt function. I

am on.15mg of Levoxyl for my Thyroid now. I dont take any other meds

except for advil because I get severe headaches quite a bit. They

seem to stem from my neck not necessarily my head. As for my diet I

have been eating alot of fresh veggies. I make salads and I eat alot

of fruit. Prepackaged....some...because I have kids that like to eat

and they seem to help us stay in our budget. We dont go overboared

on them though. The meat I like to eat is mostly chicken or

Turkey....I am not to fond of red meat. I eat pastas maybe 1-2 times

a week. I DONT drink coffee or soda pop anymore..I only drink water

and some milk like on a bowl of cereal. The only juice I

like....lol...is orange juice and those Jones Juices that you buy at

the gas station. I know weird huh? I seem to like a blend and not

individual berry. I excercise everyday...whether it is walking, or

using a video in my vcr. My sleep habits are pretty good I get at

least 6-8 hours....it hasnt been as much since my allergies have kept

me awake quite a bit lately.

I am a stay-at-home mom now....I dont use alcohol..nor drugs...nor

tobacco. I hope this helps assess a little bit.

The 2 main reasons I wanted to try fasting is because it cleanses and

I was hoping to gain the benefit of losing weight as well. I went to

Bible college for 1 year so I am well aware of the spiritual benefit

as well as emotional ....I had friends on my dorm floor who fasted at

times. If fasting wouldnt be the answer would you have any other

options or ideas for me? I dont like fad diets.....a few ladies in

my church tried the Atkins diet and my siter (RN) told me it was a

bad diet for woment especially. There was this one fruit diet that

they tried too. Anyway, I will be waiting for an answer. Thanks so

much for your time.
