Today was a day where there was no change in weight, if this is anything like my husband I will see a larger jump tomorrow. His jumps occur every other day and are about 1-2 lbs each.
His gains on this diet are very different than mine and maybe even more subtle. I believe the more problems and the higher the complication the more of a gain there is to be had. I thought of something that made sense today. It's about Asthma, I have always had it but it had never been a real problem until about 10 years ago when I started going in to the emergency room for an Asthmatic cough (a cough you cannot stop), and I would come up with bronchial infections a couple of times a year. Then I noticed that I spent a lot of time spitting and choking on my own fluids; be it from a runny nose or simply brushing my own teeth. All of that choking, spitting, and vomiting is gone. Theory is; if you are histamine intolerant you are most likely always pumping too many influencers into your system, this causes the body to react through inflammation I.E. joint, lung, skin, stomach, digestion, etc. When you remove that inflammation the fluid created from it goes away and hence the problem.
The next time I get sick I will up date you on how well my lungs are handling the sickness.

Currently no noticeable changes to most of the list below.
Previously Noted Changes Are:
No food associated intolerances.
No Histamine based intolerance problems.
Fourth finger on my right hand at the second knuckle remains flexible and pain free.
Astma is still dormant.
Thyroid is working as it should with medicine but will have to be re evaluated following weight loss.
Testosterone/progesterone is the one animal I know least about, I will have to talk to my doctor.
Melatonin, I slept very well without it.
Food intolerance are still not a problem.
Tinnitus remains a constant.
Arthritis remains inactive and no longer a problem.
Tendinitis, is currently not an issue.
Bursitis is currently not an issue.
Spinal Bulge is currently not an issue.
New Noticeable Changes Are:
Disclaimer; some changes may take time to manifest. In some cases changes are noticed because problems don't manifest themselves again.
Additional Info on each problem:
Asthma; I have had this my entire life and in the last few years it has given me a bronchial infection roughly twice a year. Ongoing problem.
Low Thyroid; I take about 3 grain natural thyroid to adjust several problems my body has I.E. supper low body temp, poor sleep and foggy mind just to name a few. Ongoing problem.
High Testosterone and low progesterone; this is something that most likely occurred over time. To a woman high testosterone is directly related to cramping, bleeding, hair loss, and a slew of other health problems. Ongoing problem.
Low Melatonin; I had to add additional melatonin in the evening to be able to sleep through the night. Ongoing problem.
Histamine intolerance; this has caused some what of an auto immune problem over the fact I am now unable to eat a large number of foods that I absolutely love. When your told about 50 of your favorite foods are no longer on your list of available options, you have to wonder if it is worth eating plants at all. Due to this my bodies immune system is not as strong as it used to be and I find myself seriously sick more and more often (see asthma). Ongoing problem.
Food intolerances; milk, soy, cocoa
Tinnitus; ringing in the ears, unknown cause, kicked in about a year and a half ago after a severe sickness.
Arthritis; lots of use of hands over the years has caused my hands to swell when I over work them, seen most when writing, drawing, painting and other repetitive motions.
Tendinitis; in both wrists but the inflammation is under control.
Bursitis in the right shoulder; inflammation of the bursa, this took a shot of cortisone into the shoulder and physical therapy. Currently under control.
Spinal Bulge; 4 mm L5 spinal bulge on right side requiring anti inflammatory injections and 3 months of physical therapy. Currently under control.
Ultimately I will evaluate each of the symptoms I have over the next few weeks/months/etc and see which ones are alleviated, which ones go away completely, and which ones take a step back. When you loose weight it affects any medication you are on; make sure to have your doctor re evaluate your dosage. Ultimately we want to remove as many meds as possible from our life, our body is a very natural well oiled machine that on the most part can do just that if given what it needs.
