I hit wall after wall after wall with my weight loss (trying low carb, low fat, low calories, exercise anorexia, you name it), and I've finally found something that works. It is a rotation/elimination diet created by a nutritionist Lyn-Genet Recitas. The premise behind it is that every body is wired differently. For some people, gluten is the culprit that keeps them losing weight. There's even many people whose bodies cannot tolerate oatmeal.

So you start by doing a cleanse where you eat a ton of vegetables and fruits for 3 days (but only certain ones that have been clinically determined not to cause weight gain for like 99% of people doing the program). Then you go through a testing phase where you rotate certain foods in until you get a picture of what foods you can eat and lose weight on.

I determined what I've suspected for several years- that gluten causes me to gain weight. I knew this because on a day when I at nothing but kale, flax seed, a little chicken, vegetables and very little carbs I gained an entire pound because I ate 1 measly piece of white bread. But surprisingly, another day I ate a potato (loaded with butter BTW) and lost weight. I have always tried to avoid potatoes because of carb content, but I don't anymore because I know it's a food my body can process.

Sound crazy? I thought it was too but when I saw a family member dropping weight fast I was sold. As for me, I've lost 26 pounds in less than a month (the first dozen came off the first week) and see no signs of any slowdown. I haven't even exercised any, but am about to kick it in gear in hopes for even better acceleration of loss.

Here's some links in case anyone wants to find out more:
