I took the plunge today and went to see a Nutritional Therapist. I have decided I am done with diets and that the only way I will ever lose weight and keep it off is by eating properly, so here goes.
I had to fill in a questionnaire beforehand, so she had a pretty good idea of what was potting when we had our appointment.
What she had to say was fascinating and admittedly a lot of the stuff went a little over my head, but it all made sense. She has put me on a low GI eating program and what I like most about it is that I still get to eat loads of stuff, I’m not starving myself and I eat 6 meals a day.
I’m also doing a Vega test on Thursday to see what my other problems are, but I think we have a good idea what they are. I will do an update again once we have the results.
So far I have Adrenal fatigue, a blood sugar imbalance, low HCI levels (this bit went over my head)and definitely some food intolerances.
Phew.
sounds interesting, so what are WE allowed to eat?
What’s a Vega test?
There’s no stoping you now, you’re well on your way. All the best.
Well, good luck. Think you made the right decision here, let us know the results of the tests!
Awesome! look forward to hearing more. What is a Vega test?
Good luck with your journey. It’s a great feeling to loose weight.
Good luck with the eating plan,low GI is defintely the way to go
Vega testing is a form of modified electroacupuncture. It is an unorthodox technique which its proponents claim can diagnose allergic and other diseases.
My mom gave me this tip: eat like a diabetic, ie reduced fats, reduced salt, reduced sugar and low GI.
I am not skinny, but not overweight and keep my weight constant.
That of course doesn’t mean don’t pig out on the occassional chocolate cake or slap chips!
Fascinating stuff indeed. I also went to see a Nutritional person last month and she put me onto a low GI plan. It’s cool because you do eat a lot and are not starving yourself. I am actually going back later this week for a weigh-in and check up. Am slightly nervous.
Good Luck…

Yay for you, you will feel the benefits in no time. It is a really great way to eat for the whole family. xx
