Saturday — April 8, 2023

This morning I weighed 260.0!!! On day 3 I have lost 3 pounds total. That is encouraging.

The more I read and research dairy products and specifically side effects of casein protein, the more I am convinced I might have an allergy to it.

I always thought I was a little lactose intolerant anyway because milk and ice cream give me gas and sometimes diarrhea. But this is milk protein and a sensitivity to protein casein can cause inflammation, wheezing, phlegm, and coughing. I have all of that all the time.

By totally removing things from my diet and body hopefully I can reset and figure out what the worst culprits are for me.

Three cups of black coffee for breakfast today. Celebrating every milestone and every pound.

Essential Oils

I was lying in bed last night wondering if essential oils could help with weight loss and inflammation in my body.

I found an article about using essential oils for weight loss.
