Weight loss - now gain...

Hello Kelly!

Thanks for reaching out! First of all, congrats on the weight loss. Super job! It sounds like the Synthroid is part of what is going on with the weight gain.  There are a few other factors that may be contributing to your weight gain that aren’t dietary in nature. How’s your stress level? How’s your sleep? Both of these are HUGE in your weight loss journey. If your stress level has increased it can raise your cortisol levels….that unfortunately triggers fat storage. Another big factor when I hit a stall or gain is not drinking enough water. You should drink at least half of your body weight in water (in oz). You could also try a fat fast or an egg fast to jump-start your metabolism. Here is a great site for recipes to do an egg fast but watch out for the recipes with dairy if you are sensitive.

Check it out!

Good luck! You can do this!

Hey Kelly, I’d agree with Becky on this one.

If I were you I’d look into other areas outside of diet for a bit. Are you walking enough and getting some exercise, etc. Maybe meditating?

Good luck 🙂

I was looking at the egg fast menu plan…. I see that everyday has the bullet proof coffee.  I do not drink coffee.  Is there anything I can substitute in place of the coffee?  and if so, what and how do I mix it?
