I need HELP,.....

[Traceyraw]

I tried the 811 in Feb. I started to gain weight. I stopped the 811 but I still consume alot of fresh fruits. My weight is climbing. I have gained 25 lbs since them. I just got on the scale and gained 2.5 this week. I have been having mostly juice. I guess I have to cut out the sunflower seed milk. I need a weightloss plan. I don't want to give up fruits. I can't go around this plump. I am too uncomfortable. My legs are so big and puffy like they are filled with edema. I am taking herbs from Dr. Morse. Adrenal, Parasite.

Add greens if you're not already doing so and fats ~ avos, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, and/or olives. Only one per meal.

I am getting my greens in.Thats why its so upsetting to me. This week has been the perfect raw week no cravings or blunders. and I gained 2.5 lbs. WTHeck.

Another thing is I have been having my Period every 2-2 1\2 weeks. Somebody just told me I am swelling because of PMS hormonal issues. My Dr. wants me on birth control. I am 38 have my tubes tied I refuse to put hormones in my body.

Avoid soy products and eat 100% raw. It really helped my cycle. Stick to your guns about not using BC because it really is poison and very unhelpful and in my experience doesn't help in the least if you want to lose weight.

Uh, did you miss the eat some fat part?

You need the kidney/bladder herbs too. The weight gain seems to be only the water retention. You will get well, stick to your gut, the adrenal formula that you are doing will help.

Pituitary gland affect the woman reproduction system, so you are doing great with the herbs. If you can afford it, i would do also a lymph/node and bowel formula.

You can also have free answer from dr. Morse, you can sometime call him when you have an emergency, he will help you.

Keep the faith and 100% raw food.

p.s There is no difference with the symptom of an illness and healing crisis. Except that Healing crisis, your body is healing. So this is is all good.

I would try eating the fruits rather juicing them also. I find them more satisfying that way.

I have been making sunflower seed milk. cookies with seasame seeds. This should count as fats. Thanks everybody. I am going to get the kidney formula. I am going to work on getting rid of fluid retention. Less salt. I will try with no Braggs for a while Thats the only soy I have right now.

I just feel so puffy.

Do epsom salt baths help draw out the fluid?

Hey Tracyraw,

It's really ironic!!! Same thing happened to me and you guys know how I eat. Unfortunately, I opted for the BC pills to regulate my cycle, and that's where the gain was for me. I actually didnt get my cycle for 6 months, then got it every single day for almost 2 months!!! I tried holistic means to control it...I even had acupuncture done several times. It got to the point where I just couldnt take it anymore, so along came the BC pills....

I had a procedure done called Thermachoice 4 weeks ago and I'm just now seeing the weight peel off from taking the pills. Your weight gain is probably from those pills...I'm sure of it!

Rev is right...add more fats, but getting off those pills are probably what's really gonna do it for you.

The procedure 'ain't no joke...I'm telling you. The first week after I was in so much pain I couldn't even cry!!!! But, now it's fabulous!!! I won't even have a MS anymore, since I have no lining. There are no signs of having one and I feel great!

Google Thermachoice and talk with your Dr. It may fix your problem and get you off those pills....

If I can help, let me know!!! (((HUGS))). :hug

[Traceyraw]

Hi Renee thanks for the response. I didn't take them I refused to take BC pills the Dr. was mad but o well. I did stop taking Prozac about 1 month ago. I am starting to feel normal except this puffiness. I will look it up.

Tracy, I think I recall watcing a Dr. Morse youtube video about this issue. I believe he had said it was too much acid in the body. You should call his office and speak to his staff, either Shannon or Jennifer who are both very informed and will take the time with you.

Oh and the sunflower milk will do it to!

for some reason I thought I replied to another post of yours talking about weight gain and 811...... I dunno maybe I didn't post it. LOL Here's some tips I can think of, but it's really hard to say exactly what you may need, so really this is just my opinion.

Water.....lots of water...are you drinking enough water. Wake up in the morning and guzzzle water preferably a quart. Being dehydrated is pretty common and without sufficient water your body is gonna have troubles releasing accumulations.

Are you exercising in any way? Movement is basically what is needed to get lymph moving around. But there are herbs and fruits which are also very beneficial, though you should be adding in some form of movement as well.....stretching....yoga.....resistance......wa lking briskly.....etc. If the lymph system is clogged then of course you need to address this.....it's the primary system to move the waste to the areas of your body where it can be eliminated.

The fats.....your body needs fat to release fat. It can be overdone however to where you gain weight but if I recall the 811 diet is a low fat diet??? Yeah it is...I just looked. I like the idea that David Wolfe outlines in his book, "The Sunfood Diet Success System". It's a third greens, a third fats, and a third sweet fruits. But really I think it's better to follow what your body wants instead of trying to wedge oneself into a system. And on the subject of fats....I would switch it up a bit.....avos, coconut fats, olive oil, etc.... "actually those are my fav three fats. HA"

Thinking about it now......for some reason I recall that the body will turn excess carbohydrates into fats and store them in the body when they are not burned off by the body. Maybe this is also something that is going on.....on the 811 diet one eats tons of carbohydrates and if they are not burned off by the body it's turned into fat???? I really don't know though if this is common with fruit carbs. But I do seem to recall that it is common with something like pasta carbs. Just an idea.

I scheduled a lympo massage. I can't go until May 26. This is supposed to help also. I am working hard on this. Thanks everybody so much. Maybe I just overloaded my system with toxins..
