good for you apriltones, keep it up until you reach your target weight. i'm allergic to barley and oats, but fine with wheat. i went through the fashion of cutting wheat out years ago and didnt feel any different, had some allergy testing, amazing what you find you are allergic to, though some i already knew about.

ive just looked at that energy quiz thing advertised, they were talking about coffee, soda and sweet things being bad for fibro haha i imagine theyre bad for everything and anything. ive always been intolerant to coffee and alcohol and never had a soda or those soft drinks or anything with aspartame in it. its amazing the claims made. on one site they were blaming soda for people getting multiple sclerosis, must be a lot of gullable people ready all of that.

good luck to you nothing cheers a person up than when they are feeling good about themselves, even if its just for a short while. cheers.

Good for you April, keep up the good work.

Moonspirit, yes I am positive there are a lot of gullable people and always have been. Use to be called snake oil salesman, now they are called millionaires!

The best thing for me for my fibro and diet is to cut out sugar! Including soda and such that has sugar in it. I do my best, but sometimes I weaken!

I followed a low carb diet for almost 3 years but my only weight loss was during the first 6 months then it stopped dead in it's tracks. I have gained it all back despite reduced carbs and calories AND running 6 miles a day. It was then that I knew something was wrong with me. Now I can barely walk a mile without extreme pain and tiredness.

Best Wishes to you and your continued weight loss

Fibro is such a lovely disease, not only do we deal with the pain but we have weight problems on top it. The only thing to do is keep trying and keep a positive attitude.
