By 14, I was an obese child. One day, after eating 2 huge meals in a row, i was gifted with a divine intervention of sorts. *Something* flipped a switch, and I became aware that I could change the situation.
I learned about exercise and calories. As this was back in the 70's, that meant counting calories and using everything labeled "sugar free" or "fat free."
I did lose weight. Over the course of 1.5 years I got down to 123 lbs.
About 6 months later I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease that typically only presented in boys 1 to 6 years of age. Doctors were mystified.
I'd bet it was related to diet/saccharine (and boatloads of fear from a dysfunctional home), but can't prove it.....
At age 10 the hormones turned on. I'd reached the magic number of 100 lbs. Of 3 girls I'm the only one who is built like my grandmother. short 5 feet tall, top heavy. My mom was a scratch cook. Grew much of what she used. JUNK FOOD was my downfall to being Plump. I began dieting at 18. More veggies no junk food. 4 babies added weight. That I dieted off easily. But keeping it off has been a lifelong battle.
I never knew I was Hypothyroid until the first baby, And once you start the Med role you just need higher dosages. .5 mcg has over the years become 200 mcg. At 75 my spine is destroyed. Gastroparesis from a Menieres Vertigo fall damaged the Vagus nerve. Those veggies J lived on are no longer digestible Breads took their place. That is the new weight gain and Type 2 Diabetes. The 2 diets are not compatible. There is no middle ground.
Processed food is POISON. High in the wrong Fats, Salt, and sugar. Overuse of pesticides containing Glysophates from weed killers and pesticides. The chemicals in them cause illness and early death from cancer, We know about Round Up Glysophate Cancer, heart, and diabetes. Saccharine is another poison.
Most Honey is corn syrup.
Honey is the third most-faked food in the world. Tests have revealed 50 percent to 70 percent of all U.S. honey is fake or adulterated.
Enter Bill Gates and his new poisons Apeel. I try to stay away from processed foods Only to find out the Government is in cahoots with the likes of Gates. You may not remember but sometime under Obama the weight factor was changed, and overnight many people became obese, Reduction surgery became a fad. As did diet pills. Ozempic shots are the latest. A very nasty drug, being prescribed even to kids. What is left out besides the side effects, is when you stop taking it you gain all the weight lost.
Robert Yoho does a great job explaining the role of Healthcare, Government, and Pharma. Spend the $5 on Kindle and read his book Butchered by Healthcare, Gov. and Pharma.
I may not lose weight but I eat healthier. Breast Reduction is not in the cards
Our entire food supply is polluted now. I can get local food, (including raw honey) down to raw milk around me. But for how long🤔? They are trying to kill us. it’s not even for profit anymore. Sorry you’ve had to go through this. Im trying to get off long term low carb and keto. It’s damaged my thyroid, and bones. After 11years it’s not easy. I can only tolerate cooked veg and simple easily digested carbs right now but I am eating fruit again and potatoes. No breads or grains, nuts or seeds. Toxins in them big time. . I was severely undereating and fasting and IF are an absolute no go for me now. 3 decent meals a day is supplying the glucose I need (especially for my brain) and not using glucose created in the stress hormones pathway 24/7. This process catches up with you. I’ve been learning a lot about the duplicity and ignorance even in the health and alternative medicine sphere. I’m old. I gotta get this right. Good luck to you, Gail.
This is fascinating. Merry Christmas btw!
