Obesity

[Guest guest]

I'm morbidly obese--around 300#, but I eat a lot of fresh fruit, veggies,

chicken, fish. I

MODERATELY eat sweets, and try to stay away from inflammatory-related foods. I

have

coffee, sodas, maybe twice a week, I drink a lot of herb tea, liptons, water,

lemon water. I

have been keeping track of my calories--and I take in between 1800-2500 per day.

Not

the 4,500 it requires to maintain 280-300#. I also have post herpetic

neurlogia, currently.

I started to gain weight with my last two children 18 years ago. Before then,

I was thin.

 

I have been thinking that yeast overgrowth may be a factor. I've also had a

hysterectomy--

I have the pendulous abdomen--which could be hormonially related. Perhaps it

could be

sludge in the colon. I've had my doctor check the thyroid--which even on the

'sensitive'

tests come back 'normal'. I know it's metabolism, but the frequent meals aren't

working in

stimulating the 'burn'.

 

Any thoughts?
