Leptin Reset - Fit, Forty, and FABULOUS! page 4

My unused protein is definitely not turning to fat.

Detox bath?

I'm trying not to exercise. I'm trying to follow his diet to a T. I don't own a car, so I have to bicycle to get everywhere, but it's minimal. I am doing about 20 push ups a day because I'm a sign language interpreter and I develop terrible pain when I don't keep my upper body strong. That's it.

But, yes. It seems strange to eat so much protein and then not exercise at all. I read somewhere that unused protein turns to fat?? In any case, I'm keeping my lunch meals as tiny as possible, or skipping them altogether so that I do use up all that protein. ???

Yeah, it seems like it would be impossible to eat lunch after a breakfast like that. Right now anyway, I'd have to force feed myself. So, I'll just go my anti-candida diet + exercise without overdoing it route for now. But I'm still interested in seeing how you and MamaGrok do on this leptin reset because I'll probably try it at some point.

I think I need to start a journal to be strict with the snacking issue and I like the format you are using. I may do something similar if you don't mind.

please do! i stole it from mama grok!

do you know how long the fatigue lasts. what the range of time is for most people?

[luvmyzoe]

Try 1tsp baking soda in glass of water, and drink one every hour until UTI symptoms disappear. Symptoms are usually gone within 3-4 hours. Works everytime!

LOL - thanks.

I took a tsp of baking soda. Then went to the store and got the sodium ascorbate Vit C and took a spoonful of that, which is 4 to 5k whatever units. The next hr I took one more spoonful of C and immediately hit 'bowel tolerance'. At work! It was a little awkward to say the least. Popping off my interpreter chair a few times when I was 'on' because things had become...er, explosive. I stopped there because I didn't want to keep having these emergencies at work. The symptoms went away and seem to be at bay this morning. Crossed fingers!

Yesterday was such an unbelievably tired day. Hoping I get my energy back soon!

**update**

Oh my goodness, I'm BURSTING with energy today! Don't know if it was just time, or if the Vitamin C did me some good. So unbelievably wonderful to have myself back. Yaaayyyy!!!!!

Thank you for this idea. Took a detox bath on day 9 (week 2, day 2). Filtered bath water with epsom salts. Was soo nice!

[MamaGrok]

Where did you find SAP in a store? I'm always hoping to find it in a local store to point folks to who are less willing to order online!

Jealous of your filtered bath water. I can't make my baths too hot b/c the evaporating chlorine makes me ill.
