It's been a week since my adjustment and I feel really good. I lost 5 pounds, but I know some of that has to do with the liquid diet a couple days after the adjustment. The nutritionist meeting went really well also. I've been eatng differently this week and I can feel it. More energy. I've also started to eat a little bit more. She said I was not eating enough which was causing my body to go into starvation mode and not lose weight. I'm starting to incorporate some turkey and more fish into my diet and I've added an afternoon snack into my routine..

Thanks again for all the tips

Might is the key word here. Everyone is different, and responds to food differently, some do fine others dont. I don't think we should discourage others from trying nutrious Protein because they "might" have an issue. My doctor never told me to rule out or avoid any food other than doughy bread. In fact he encouraged me to try problem foods a couple of different times before completely ruling them out.

I eat shrimp all the time. Being from Boston we are lobster people. I can't chew that any more. I use to eat that a lot. I also eat jumbo lump crab. Tastes great, easy to chew but us $25. Per lb

I am in this exact same situation. My problem is I am not exercising. I do bands for my arms and back and some leg exercises. My sister is a personal trainer, so I know what I need to do. She has even told me how to avoid some of the excess skin that will most likely happen later on. I stay so stressed out from my job and other things going on in my life right now that I never get to focus on ME and workout or even go for a walk. The only exercise I like is swimming and I cannot afford the gym membership right now to use the pool. I also am having a problems with the mental aspect of this lifestyle change. I am thinking about seeing a counselor to help with that but again it is finding the time. I really wish that I had 3 months off work to focus on myself and get things going good. I have so much vacation and sick time built up but cannot use it due to how busy we are. WOW...so sorry for the rant!! maybe someone has advice???
