Why can't I lose weight?

[Farmer-Rick]

13. My sister was like you

She did everything right, exercise, tons of vegis and fruit, whole grain breads and pastas, hardly any sugar.

So, she hit 50 and the weight would not come off. The more she exercised, the more weight she gained. I love my sister but she was bloated looking and had a big belly. Even her skin looked flushed and unhealthy.

So, she decided to do everything wrong. She thought the keto, low carb, high fat diet pretty much did that. She lost no weight the first 30 days. But after that, she lost 20 pounds in 3 months and that bloated flush look. Her belly went down and her clothes were hanging on her. It was only 20 pounds she said but she looked as if she lost 50 pounds.

Feeling better and proud of herself she celebrated by eating what she missed most - bread. She was rushed to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction - rash, hives extreme stomach pain and vomiting, trouble breathing. She almost died. Turns out she was allergic to the bread. Seems she always had a mild allergic reaction to it but when she went off it completely then reintroduced it, her body didn't want it and severly reacted. It's not celiacs or a known gluten disorder. It's the flour itself she reacts to.

My theory is that it's the round up they spray on the GMO wheat 3 times throughout it's growth. The flour we get is just saturated in round up. Anyway she's back to her lw carb diet though rice and potatoes don't seem to hurt her.

Maybe something in your diet is making you bloated in an effort to fight off an allergen. A low carb keto diet is a good way to start your search.
