Dietitians Did Not Pay Attention to This Weight Management Solution, But with it, Suzy Lost 5 Pounds in 2 Weeks Without Restrictive Diets!

Low carb. No-carb. Starvation. Juice. You name it, I tried every diet there is.

Hi, I’m Suzy, and once I hit my 40s, I’d had enough. Enough of the stupid diets. Enough of the food restrictions.

I was officially over it.

But I was officially overweight too. Like, by a LOT.

My health was suffering from it too. Before my 40s, I didn’t feel like it was such a struggle to exist, but I found myself at the doctor, wringing my hands while sitting there in that flimsy paper robe.

There was no surprise on my behalf when he told me I needed to lose weight. In fact, he handed me a referral to a dietitian. I rolled my eyes, which I didn’t intend for him to see. But this doctor has a fun personality, so he smiled when he busted me and said, “Uh oh…what’s the matter? Not a fan of dieticians?”

In fact, I was not. Because I’d been to three different ones several years earlier when I lived in another state, before I’d started going to this doctor. He listened intently as I explained how I felt deprived and unenthused about the plans they put me on.

Then he smiled reassuringly and said, “I think you’ll find this dietitian is much different than you expect.”

I’m happy to report that he was right. This dietitian looked at the report from my doctor and told me, “I think your real problem is inflammation. If we can work on that, I know you’ll lose the weight.”

Inflammation?!? How does that affect weight?

Insane, I know, but I found out just what inflammation does to hold you back in weight loss, especially as you go through your 40s and beyond. 

Inflammation: The Reason You’re Not Losing That Weight

I was astounded when I learned about chronic inflammation and how it impacts weight gain. It’s what makes you feel fatigued all the time. It’s what gives you weird digestive issues. It’s what makes your mood feel off-kilter. It’s behind all chronic diseases, and it’s why you’re not able to lose weight. 

I would eat salads ALL the time. Yet, I was still ballooning up. 

But this dietitian was great. She told me that I should eat salads, but not JUST salads. I could have lots of other foods too. The key was to eat in a way that would help tame that inflammation. 

When I asked her why that was, she told me that inflammatory compounds in your body throw your insulin response out of whack. This causes you to gain more weight, and continues the insulin resistance problem. 

And then there’s something she said called leptin, a hormone that controls your metabolism and your hunger. When you have inflammation, leptin levels become too low and make you feel hungry all the time while your metabolism slows down. 

So, I decided to try an anti-inflammatory diet. I mostly expected it to be like everything else I tried that didn’t work. But I’m here to tell you it’s absolutely amazing! There are so many people that overlook this crucial factor. They will sell you all kinds of diets and kooky things but nothing will ever work for you until you deal with that inflammation.

I wish everyone in their 40s knew about this!
