What is "weight loss resistance" you may be wondering?!? It is basically where you can NOT loose weight no matter how hard you try. You are eating right, working out, and nothing is happening, in fact you may even be gaining weight instead! This is a problem that affects about 70% of the population and it is under the umbrella of Auto Immune.
I wrote a post a little bit ago about Auto Immune and what it even is. http://trottingthrulife.blogspot.com/2014/09/autoimmune-problems-what-does-it-even.html
I talked about my ups and downs with health and eventually becoming weight loss resistant. At the time of the post, I was doing a SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) detox. What this did was KILL off all the bacteria in my gut, both good and bad. It was pretty intense as I was very limited to what I could eat because carbs and fiber feed all kinds of bacteria and make it multiply and grow. How did I know I had bad bacteria in my gut? I had previously worked with a Nutritional Therapist and she did a stool sample on me to see what was going on in there. This is how we initially found out. I took an all natural anti-microbial for 3 months to kill the bad guys off, but they just came back. So after learning more about bad bacteria and how it grows, it was necessary to eliminate the carbs and fiber and take the supplements all together in order to truly get the bad guys gone! Some people can rid their bodies of this in 15 days, however my body was stubborn and it took 30 days. After those 30 days were over, I was able to reintroduce carbs in the form of veggies. I did this in very small amounts and did not take the extra supplement of fiber this time!
Also while doing this 30 days of detox, I made sure to consume plenty of healthy fats. I did this in the form of "bulletproof" coffee and "fat bombs". http://trottingthrulife.blogspot.com/2014/09/eating-fat-to-burn-fat.html Which believe it or not, my body actually started burning fat again and I lost 11 pounds!
Now I am on the phase of healing the individual cells through a "CORE cellular healing" program. You can look this up by doing a Google search of Dr. Pompa. He's the guy who developed this program. There are plenty of you tube videos also where he explains everything in great detail. It really does make sense!
So as of today...I am on my second round of the CORE supplements, feeling great, and working towards healing my individual cells. My heavy metals test revealed that I still had some in my system that were in the yellow, Aluminum & Mercury to name the top 2. There were some other ones too but not commonly known. I have 2 silver fillings and I am meeting with a holistic dentist on Nov 17 to have a consultation about having those properly removed and replaced. This will help because those fillings are constantly leaching out into our system making our cells inflamed and when the body is inflamed that's when diseases thrive! This doesn't happen over night, but over a LONG period of time. Also there is Mercury in our mascara, and aluminum in our deodorant, so considering our skin is like a big sponge, we are absorbing toxins by simply using beauty products. I don't mean throw out everything you have and go buy new, but you can check out what you have by using www.cosmeticdatabase.com. They rate products on a scale of 0-9 with 9 being highly toxic!
I know this is a LOT of information and you may be feeling overwhelmed, trust me I know! I did not begin to feel sick over night, nor did I begin my healing journey in one step. Feeling sick came on over the course of 4-5 years and I baby stepped into this healing journey which I am still on that started about 2 1/2 years ago. I don't have all the answers nor do I claim to, however, writing this blog I am hopeful that through my transparencies I can encourage others to take control of their health and begin their own journey to healing!
