Weight Gain!


Ennis-TX

Ennis-TX Grand Master

FINALLY got up to 130lbs! Been binge eating my coconut flat bread, cheese sauces, coconut, hemp seeds, almonds, and most recently GROUND COCOA NIBS, I found roasted cocoa nibs online in 1.5lb bags for $23. I been eating about 1/2 cup a meal blending in shakes, icecream, sprinkle toppings etc. I love how the different roast and sources of the beans gives different flavors and find the combinations quite fun. I also took a tip from a body builder buddy and got some ketones and potassium and started taking them along with 7 digestive enzyme tablets before a meal (serving size is 3). Results were I put on almost a full 3lbs in a week after years of trying to bulk up. This is fantastic. seems to be muscle to boot.

Now that my health is up, I feel more like doing stuff, just wish business would pick up with the bakery and the almond butter sales.

I always laugh when people say they're going gluten free to lose weight.

HA! tell that to the +10lbs I lost in a month before going gluten-free. Of course, last winter I went a little too far the other way, so when I lost 10lb fairly quickly this spring, I was relieved that my vitamin levels were all still good. It's stayed put for the past while, which is good.

Anyway, great to hear you have your energy back! (cocoa nibs are highly deceptive little suckers)

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them.  However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.
